![]() I dont know what are you reading, but Jan is best known because of his defense... Thats why people comparing him with T. Prince, A. Kirilenko, J. Jeffries. He can defend everything... He is very tall, athletic and quick, he is nightmare on D. Thats why he is so high in the draft. I mean he is just poor offensive player, has no most moves and just terrible shooter...

![]() That's exactly what I've been reading as well. Also, DX mentions that opposing teams specifically game plan to attack him, and he averages 1 defensive board every 10 minutes. Nevertheless, I'll reserve judgement, and just hope our scouting staff does their due diligence on this kid.

![]() I dont know why people saying Jan cant be SF... He is not slow, there is tons slower SFs, the same Kirilenko is much more clumsy. People just saying that because he is 6'11?
I dont know, I think Williams is question mark, but not Jan. |

![]() Just my 2 cents but if you get a chance to get Irving have to take him. But then again probably stating the obvious here. Regarding Williams....tweeners always concern me however a versatile forward can be a good thing. I'm certainly not a draft expert however looking at the mocks and some vids of players, prospects after pick 2 seem to be quite varied and more on team needs. If the Raps aren't lucky and don't land 1 or 2 I think there are a number of good pg's that can be had, though a trade down might be the order for the day and get a 2 for 1.
On the Euros, maybe I'm wrong but as great as the Euro players can be in Europe, players usually don't transition well into the NBA game. Euros seem to have trouble adjusting to the physicality of the league. I believe there are more players that wash out here than make it - especially the last several years. Take Bargs...I agreed with the pick at the time however watching him shy away from hard contact in the post is hard to watch. I thought he might be Dirk-lite but Dirk will fight hard whereas Bargs doesn't. It's been long enough and I'm not sure a big bruising center to pair with him is the answer either. I do like the idea though of Davis at PF and bringing in a center. I'd rather see 2 guys in the paint/3 on the perimeter than 4 on the perimeter/1 in the paint (and not our PF certainly). If we land Irving... Irving/DD/Kleiza/Davis/? would be a great back court and depending on who we get at center, possibly decent frontcourt - too bad we didn't get Chandler. I would trade Bargs and whoever or cap space for a really good C. If our pick is after the 2, then I would seriously consider going after Knight. Great player and we could trade down and nab him and a C. If we land Williams ?/DD/Kleiza/Davis/? I would really consider trading Williams and Bargs to fill the pg and c. I'm not really sold on Williams as a SF and I really like Davis at PF. (or a pick after 2) Knight Knight/DD/Kleiza/Davis/C I like the athletic ability of this backcourt though obviously not as much as with Irving but Knight is no slouch either. The slashing of the backcourt (either Knight or Irving) with Kleiza stretching the defense is exciting to me. Having 2 defensive players in the paint in Davis and whomever is IMHO what the Raps need. Either way we go in the draft, having Bayless/JJ/Wright/Dorsey/Amir coming off the bench is pretty nice depth to me. Just some thoughts. I'm sure it will change closer to the draft.

![]() Which Euro prospect is great in Europe? It's all opposite you just said. No scout look at their minutes or numbers anymore, because its just different game. They jsut care how good player can be in the NBA... Valanciunas averaging 15 minutes per game, Vesely is key player, but not a leader in shitty EL team, Donatas not even in Euroleague... Ironic, but the most successful and the best looking Euro is Bojan Bogdanovic. He is great European style of player, but hes just a late first/early second rounder in NBA draft...

![]() No no dont take it out of context...we're saying the same thing I just said it with a broader stroke is all. I don't envy scouts trying to make that call as all they have to go by is watching players play the game. How they transition is a crap shoot.
I used to post a lot on scout and have been lurking here for awhile and I definitely respect yours and a lot of posters insight. Cheers |
