BigCamB wrote: View PostHe really intrigues me. He's early second round ATM on DX, but could easily rise after workouts etc. Still so much time for lots of movement on the draft board. Much rather swing for the fences on him or to a lesser extent Jeremi Grant than go for someone like McDaniels. I don't see much offensive potential for him. He has a weird set shot thing that he will struggle to get off in the NBA. As an athlete he's kind of like DeMar. If you give him a straight line he can jump, but looks like he has a very slow first step, although he can't be too bad laterally if he's so good defensively. He won't be able to create his own shot, seems rather awkward and mediocre handles.
The main change in his game is that he is playing fully on the Small Forward spot right now. When we criticized him last summer to impose too much his physique to dominate in the PF, Inglis has now really moved outside the three-point area to create on the drive. He likes to put the ball on the floor to attack the basket and his dramatically improved his passing. He finds his team mates on the penetration when the help is coming but he has also improved his passing angles and timing when going for example for the high low or finding the cutters from the top of the key. Even if he is more active from outside now, Inglis still goes sometimes in the low post if he is defended by physically inferior players. He can either play them with his back to the basket but also recognize the help situations and kick it out to the free shooters.
Talking about his physique, Inglis is really well built. Large shoulders and already quite mature, the French forward looked like a man among kids at moments. Added to his strong presence, he has also some explosiveness even if he might lack elite leaping abilities. Nevertheless, he can come up with some spectacular plays on both ends of the court, playing often above the rim and not being afraid to go for the hard dunk. Inglis has not really improved his shooting game though. He remains an occasional three-point threat, even if he took nearly one long-range shot per every 10 minutes he was on the court. With such a small sample, it is difficult to judge about his regularity from outside but he can knock it down at around 35% most likely. He has to work though on his mid-range game which is nearly inexistent in terms of scoring from about 3-4 meters.
In general, you can say that Inglis has grown in his overall game, becoming a leader on the court who wants to have the ball in his hands. He finished with an impressive stat line even if he played only 14 minutes in the semi-final before he got injured. If you take out this game, he averaged 23.7ppg, 10.7rpg and 9.0apg in the first three games of the event which would give him an unreal 42.3PIR. But next to these stats, Inglis has to show that he can not only lead his team in numbers but make them a winning squad. In the highly important game versus Partizan which decided on the semi-final opponent, Inglis was unable to bring home the victory to his guys despite a 39PIR. He has another occasion during the summer with the French U18 National Team to win a medal or eventually during the NIJT Final 8 in London if INSEP is getting a wildcard as rumored.

Warren did not the shot the three that well this year at under 30%, but he shot over 50% as a freshman in much fewer attempts, I think he will be fine in the NBA when he is not looked upon to score 25 points a night. HE also increased his free throw percentage by 15%, the respectable 69%, with a little more improvement he will be solidly in the the 70s
Right now this is my guy at 20 if he is there.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

....arguably the best athleticism of any wing player in the draft not named Andrew Wiggins.
That statement alone has me intrigued.

Speaking of which, his scouting report reminds me a lot of a young DD who can play defence. If he's got Demar's work ethic, I can see him turning into something special."Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

I guess with DeRozan (and a developing Ross) already on the wings, offensive production from a late draft pick, isn't a top priority for me. With Casey re-upped for 3 years, I think "fit" might be more important.

Already having Ross and DD at the SG creates somewhat of a conundrum. do we go out and get a true SF and stifle Ross's growth by playing him off the bench? Or at what point do we decide whether Ross or Derozan is the future at the 2?"Bruno?

Ross can back up the 2 and 3 spots getting lots of minutes and can be more of a focal point on the second unit.
But I guess that is not necessarily the case for every player that we draft."Bruno?

a lot depends on what kinda shape Ross comes back in. Casey was saying that Ross truly felt the need the get bigger after getting bodied by guys like Joe JohnsonFor still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar
