19 year old, 7 foot, 7'3 wing spand and moves like a SF. Very fluid for his height. I can see the potential.

Seen a few of his games this season in the Euro league. Has potential and great size / mobility. Wouldn’t be be too disappointed to land him with a late pick.

Nice. Seems like he will need at least 1-2 years to marinate and gain some weight

was watching this draft scouting vid and realized it's an actual game without fans. They pipe in sound, have some signs of fake fans, and such?

Yeah it’s takes a while getting used to it. The English premier league ( football) games have resumed and they are being played in much the same way!

It’s geeky of me, but one of the things I’m most looking forward to if the nba Orlando thing goes ahead, is see what technology solutions they try to make up for the lack of a crowd- will they just go for audio solutions or will they do something visual too? I don’t know why this is exciting me so much!

Haha the Euro league games and English premier league football games I’ve seen on TV have audio sound bites that are played in the background along with the commentary, but the arenas and stadiums have no optical illusions ie no spectators or fans!!??! Little spooky!

I really like Haliburton. However, Hayes, Deni, Toppin..... all couLd be the right move.

If we do no land a top 3 pick, and Deni is available when its our turn, we take a long look at him. I know pg is a glaring hole on this team, but we are in desperate need of talent. Deni's ceiling may be higher than Haliburton or Hayes. A bonus to his game is that @ 6'9, he is a very good play-maker, just as good if not better than any of the young pgs we have on our roster.

I know people are high on Nesmith, but picking him in the top 7 is way too high and he will not be there for our 2nd 1st round pick. But, Bane might be available. He's just as good of a shooter as Nesmith. Bane reminds me of Eric Gordon. Not very athletic, but is strong, can shoot the lights out and has a knack for getting buckets.

Definitely prefer him over Toppin

It’s going to be tough for Rookies next season- no summer league and the season starts just a month or so after the draft, with likely a compressed schedule.

Gotta keep in mind that he's playing against seasoned pros in some of those videos. Here he is playing against in his generational grouping and he looks dominant. His J still looks kinda funny, but I have no doubt Deni is a stud.

If Ball, Wiseman and Edwards are off the board when we pick, but Deni is available...we may need to take a long look at him. I know we are in need of a pg, but we also need talent! Still feel like I need to do more research on Deni though. I go back and forth on him.
