        • Jonathan Jeanne
          France
          Age: 18
          Center/forward


          Jeanne is an upside pick who might take a couple of years to come over to the NBA. But when he does, he has the chance to be awesome.

          Blessed with elite size for his position, he can not only protect the rim with a crazy 7-foot-6 wingspan, but he has the ability to step out and shoot the jumper as well.
          Sound like a Masai type of pick.

            If he actually declares (any mock I've seen has him as a 2017 pick), I'd pick him with the Raptors pick, but probably not with the Knicks pick unless it's very late lottery. He's just so far away right now. Not quite two-years-away-from-two-years-away, but pretty damn far away, nonethless.

                Seems a head of Bruno at the same age skill wise but, the frame will take some time. I except the Knicks to make the playoffs. So, I see the pick around 15 or 16.

                  I wouldn't hate Jeanne at 15 or 16. I still expect that Knicks pick to be 8-12 by the end of the season, and Jeanne would definitely be a tier below the guys available there.

                  • How is this guy any different from Bebe?

                      Probably on NBA readiness but, he has as much upside as anyone not named Ben Simmons/Ingram. IMO

                        He can handle the ball and has range out to the 3 point line.

                        • Also Jeanne agent is Bouna Ndiaye(also Nic Batum's agent) who is friends with Masai.

                          • I kinda like PETR CORNELIE http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...ornelie-61916/ with our pick. Has the potential top be a good stretch 4.

                            I think the Raps have to stash at least one player this year. The 905 are full with Bruno, Wright, Powell, Bennett, Bebe. I see two players at most giving valuable minutes in a bench role next year... if that. 15 player roster, 5 guys presently rotating down to the 905, plus two more rookies... the numbers don't add up.

                            DeMar, Lowry, JV, PP, Ross, Joseph, Biyombo, and Carrol will be back for sure. We still need a starting PF, and my guess is Powell, Bebe, and Wright won't be going down to the 905 next year (maybe one at a time). If Bennett is retained, I don't see him going down either (I kinda hope we keep him). Basically, after signing a PF we only have one roster spot left.

                            So, either we try to move up by combining the two picks or we stash a player in Europe.

                            Ivan Rabb is someone I would move up a couple spots to get.

                            • Buddy Hield is legit, but, he'll measure small and he's a senior. I actually think that he could play some PG since he can split screens and is a willing passer. I like his game but don't see why the Raps would draft him.

                              This Jeanne guy looks rawer than sushi. He's being coached well, but his defensive footwork is poor and he reaches way too much on D. He's probably 2/3 years away. As a draft and stash in the second round? Sure. If the Raps keep winning and the pick is around 25-ish maybe?

                              Can Masai get away with that sort of gamble if Bruno doesn't start resembling an NBA player soon?

                              I agree with the consensus on Rabb. He's been a pleasant surprise. Mature beyond his years.

                                With the Raps pick, Hield could provide great value as a scorer off the bench.
