As arguably the most athletic I. The 6-10 range, Keon might wind up the best shot creator of the bunch. He’ll have to put it together piece by piece...

[SkywalkerAC]

Barnes (cough)...

[SkywalkerAC]

Remind me what Keon’s numbers looked like as a college sophomore....

[SkywalkerAC]

Keon’s freshman numbers not so different than Don Mitchell’s...

[SkywalkerAC]

I mean...I guess so? Next to a mobile center like Birch that might work. But it would also work next to a mobile centre like...Barnes....

[SkywalkerAC]

Well slow doesn't equal broken. He doesn't need a lightning quick release to be effective, he just needs to be able to keep defenses honest by hitting...

[SkywalkerAC]

If we're going to play the "fit" game, who's our backup 4 again?

Barnes appeal is in his frontcourt versatility, I could easily...

[SkywalkerAC]

See, his 3-ball form (as a 19-year old) does not look any way MKG-syle broken there. Probably looking better than Shawn Marion's ever did. "Just...

[SkywalkerAC]

His set-shot 3-ball form looks fine to me, and they say much the same in the video scouting reports. He'll probably never have a good pull-up jumper,...

[SkywalkerAC]

Isn't Parker all O, no D - how does that comparison work again? Often it's the D (or lack thereof) that holds back 6'9 forwards, unless they're real offensive...

[SkywalkerAC]

And yet, his freshman numbers......

[SkywalkerAC]

Picks 7-9 actually have a great history of all-stars (despite pick #8 being a dog of a statistical anomaly).

[SkywalkerAC]

Bouknight is a guy that the modern game/rules/spacing should really benefit. If you want an offensive spark plug, he looks like a good one.

[SkywalkerAC]

Isn’t the majority position that his 3-ball doesn’t look broken per se, just that it needs a lot of work? Like, it’s not broken like Michael Kidd...

[SkywalkerAC]

I like Moody because he’s a “pure” shooting guard but with small forward length. It just makes the whole lineup so much more flexible - eg to play...

[SkywalkerAC]

Minnesota really fucked up, unless they luck out.

[SkywalkerAC]

Even just running back FVV/Trent/OG/Pascal/Centre, Fred looks projects just fine as the lead guard....

[SkywalkerAC]

Yeah, those look like pretty elite scoring-guard skills. Plus decent size and good athleticism....

[SkywalkerAC]

No lift on his jumper maybe but no jumping ability?

...

[SkywalkerAC]

I'm still not getting this idea that Fred "isn't a true point guard". Are there any good stats to back that up? I'd much rather have him next...
