JK47:
I wouldn’t mind the guy from Gonzaga, Corey Kispert, with one of our 1RPs. That guy seems like he’s going to be able to shoot in the NBA. If you want to go with a high-floor guy with one pick and a high ceiling guy with the other pick, he would not be a bad bet.

Yeah, seems like a good prospect. Maybe Jaden Springer with the other pick, for the high-ceiling.

cybersoze: About my dream that the Knicks select my fellow countryman Neemias Queta

If he’s there for our 2nd RP, i should add. Because it’d be dumb to select a C with one of our 1st RPs.

Queta’s counting stats don’t blow you away because the Aggies play relatively slowly and he only plays 28 minutes a game. But per 100 possessions he’s averaging 29.0 points, 18.8 boards, 5.6 assists and 6.0 blocks. The eye test shows an improved player who has developed an array of moves on the low block.

Those last two numbers are especially noteworthy. Queta is the only major college player in the last decade to average at least 2.5 assists and 2.5 blocks per game. Yes, this is a random combination of two stats, but in his case, it underscores a larger truth: You don’t see shot-blocking fives who can distribute like this. Queta has become a legitimately good passer, to the point that opponents are rewriting the previous strategy of always double-teaming him on the block.

Pretty cool, right? 🙂

Early Bird: Yes, but luckily the Pacers are to Rj Barrett what Earth’s yellow sun is to Superman.

You’re right, i forgot about that. He’s 100% on 3Ps against Indy, i guess.

Raptors, Heat, and Celtics all off tonight?A win tonight puts us tied for 4th place. Crazy times….

Whomever wins is in 4th, whomever loses is in 10th. No big deal.
