Like a slightly stiffer Amare Stoudemire.

Look like a SF a bigger Batum. He looks pretty darn good--what separates anyone in the lottery from this player? Thats where the game is going 6-10/6-11 guys who are versatile athletic skilled.

The one reason I like Jarrett Allen is his potential ability to defend in/out
This guy is not as big as Allen but has a nice perimeter based offensive game. To go with the possibility of defending 2-5. I'm locking him in I think if we use pick 8 on frank that mason at 44 is not a big time need. This guy gives us an Isaac but he's more mature and much less costly. I'd move up to the 30 s if possible to grab him


So if stats align
8 frank n
44 + Jonah bolden
58 deonte burton


This would be one helluva defensive infusion and all 3 have diverse offense and can hit a 3 I like this group

This kid's defensive potential looks good. Still finding himself offensively, but he can still contribute early on. Worth a shot...

Sac Kings are bringing F.Mason in for a second workout and they have the 34th pick so i don't see him making it to #44.

So this is the first time you've ever seen J.Bolden in a highlight video and you already want us to take him at #44?? I like him as well and we were talking about him yesterday on another board but there's gonna be some very intriguing players sitting there at 44 to choose from.

Yeah look at the way he moves against guards on the D. Keeps his long arms up slides his feet--he can be a serious defensive player. But he also has the offensive skills--no I never saw him --knew nothing about him. But dont we need a player like this? The guy is 6-10+ with a 7-4 wingspan and can move shoot etc... perfect. If we take Frank--its ok to let Frank M go--and like u said he could be gone. But from what I just watched--I think we need this guy more--dump KUZ--he plasy NO D.

fitzfarm @ 6/13/2017 10:25 AM
Ahh is this guy gonna last to 44!he looks like a 1 st round pick
Vmart @ 6/13/2017 10:55 AM
Looks like a first rounder for sure. Spurs type pick. Looks like a perfect triangle fit.

Well i don't think there's any question at all that Phil has plans on drafting a big man, most likely a PF when looking at the type of players we're bringing in for workouts. He wants a J.Crowder type badly that can play great defense, rebound and hit a 3 if need be. N.Hayes, C.Swanigan, J.Jeane, T.Bryant, T.Bradley.

Draftnet has him going 57 to the Nets and draft express has him going 43 to Houston. Funny how two different sites have him going one pick before our 44 and 58.....it's a Knicks thing. lol

Im assuming no other pick--so we have 8-44-58. Im locking Deonte Burton in at 58 because I think theres a great chance hes there--there is your Jae Crowder type. I know all the names of what s been talked about here Mason Swanigan Hart etc.. I think this guy Bolden makes more sense for us because there is synergy with KP and Willy. I also like that he looks like he can guard 2-5 yet also make shots--handle etc.. Im willing to spend 1.5mm to flip my 44 pick into the high 30's (32-37) to get this player and maybe even more if I have to go into the low 20's etc 3mm +44

Im not sure we are trading down or acquiring etc..

but I think a
Frank N G
Jonah Bolden F
Deonte Burton draft G/F

would really help us on both ends.

If its me KUZ is gone. Impossible to teach D at 27.

CrushAlot @ 6/13/2017 5:52 PM
He was one of the guys featured on yesterday's High Upside Podcast (The Ringer). They really like him. I believe they said he could go as high as 19 in the draft. Also, said they see him as a high end starter on a contending tam down the road if I am remembering correctly. I'll post the link.

Hes a great -looking propsect. Hes what we need on both sides of the ball.Someone who can guard 1-5 handle shoot out to 3--he looks nimble enough to play 3-4-5 on offense-what is not to like? He looks better than Issac--hes just 3 years older. If we can get that early 2nd -Id make him the priority.


Picks 2017

#8 Frank Ntlinka
12-17 Jarrett Allen
18-30 Frank Jackson
31-44 Jonah Bolden
58 Deonte Burton

Never seen him before but the size and athletic ability is very evident. He is a projected 2nd round pick? Rare to a 2nd rounder look like that physically. I think he will get picked in the first round. Nice looking form on his jumper, how has this guy slipped through the cracks so long? His age? This is some serious 3and D potential, he can be a nice combo forward, maybe even guard some 2's, perfect for todays NBA, watch Golden State get him. He shot 42% from 3 and 51% from 2. Whats up with his horrific free throw shooting though, 58%.

He has some Scottie Pippen in him--taller but some similarities. The two steals are going to be this guy and Frank Jackson if they both go rd 2. This guy will not only make an NBA team but should be able to thrive within 2 years.

I like both J.Bolden and D.Burton to help us at G and PF but i also like C.Oliver a lot for PF and D.Dotson for SG for us.

C.Oliver is very impressive. The kid can run the floor really well, has really good hands, rebounds and gets the put backs and can hit the 3 ball and D.Dotson reminds me of Wesley Mathews from his Portland days before he got injured.

Chad Ford has him listed as a potential first-rounder, so I'm not sure he's slipped through the cracks. It sounds like he had an unimpressive year playing D-I and he went to Europe to focus on his perimeter skills. He is definitely a target if we obtain a late first-rounder.
