And on the other side of the Ingram and Lakers spectrum:

Dunc'd On: Brandon Ingram Scouting Report, Lakers Offseason

Projected 2nd pick Brandon Ingram shot 40% on 3s and has a 7'3 wingspan. Why is Nate not as high on him as some others are? At 23:00, a preview of the Lakers' offseason. They'll have between $58 million and $69 million in space. We look at three plans.

Just something to think about when you're taking a look at prospects at each position.

One cool thing about baseball is they grade these players on their present/future 20-80 scale. Wish more leagues did this

Workout looked amazing . Even some of the scouts in the background couldn't keep up their poker faces .

Boom or Bust. Skal continues this...he's a top 10 lock...and possibly top 5 again .

 

[pmatic]

He uses a lot of his legs to get underneath his shots. The mechanics on his jumper look smoother though.

I couldn't help but laugh at Skal taking the hits from the pad and dunking.

Skal is definitely going top 10 after that workout. He looks like he put on some muscle too.

 

[youngthundercat]

cant measure heart man. if so kid would be going in the 2nd easy.

If Skal had lived up expectations, he would have been an even better fit for the Lakers than Ingram at #2.

A big that can space the floor for Randle, P&R partner for Russell/Clarkson and protect them all on defense.

Double post.

Damn.

Dunno how to qualify that.

Missed a page or two, are we doing the mock draft and if so, I'll represent the Timberwolves if nobody has claimed them yet.

Skal should workout with a ski mask on.


This is giving me World Summit flashbacks.

Open Floor: NBA Podcast NBA Draft: Should Ben Simmons go No. 1?

With two weeks until the NBA Draft, Andrew Sharp talks to Jeremy Woo to get a feel for the first round. They discuss the rise of Marquese Chriss, the options for the Suns and Celtics and the pluses and minuses of Ben Simmons. Also, what should the Bulls do? And is this draft worth paying attention to?

I mean if Mitch Richmond got in, anybody can.

Mitch was a beast in oakland and sac.... dont compare draymond to him thats an insult ol boy in a beautiful situation it dont make him a HOF add 90 percent of the 4s at that spot same result

Ben Bentil going to orlando at 11. Book it

Where's this info coming from?

Did he have an insane workout?
I'm thinking he'a gonna drop to late 1st round with Celtics 15 picks.

I'm a pc guy and can't even imagine him rising that high.

Ben, I think you had a pretty solid career at Providence but unfortunately I think you're going to go in the late 1st/early 2nd.

Thanks,
