haven't watched much of him - checking out some highlights now

initial thoughts:
very good positional awareness but relatively slow hands
good seals, quick moves on catch
rudimentary technique/footwork

project with potential. floor as a rotation big. safe value pick in the 25-40 range?


only watched (on and off) of his most recent game.....came away more impressed than I expected. Definitely a more traditional Center from what I saw...but not a slow plodder. What do you mean when you say "relatively slow hands"?


from what i saw he bobbles a lot of passes/rebounds that should be clean catches.


Dpn't want another Kwame

Kwame Brown @ pick #25 in probably a solid pick.

Landry Shamet looks like a very good player around our range. Any comment about his game.

from what I have seen....good size, great shooter, nice handle and has some craft to his game....seems like a high IQ player....but not the most athletic player, does not seem to have a great first step or blow by speed and already has a few foot injuries in his career....probably is taken in bottom 3rd of 1st Round (20-30 range).

Exactly what I saw, did not know about his foot problem. If u can shoot u don't need blow by speed IMO.

I know he had a pretty bad break of his right foot this past summer....and I think it was a broken left foot that cost him his true Freshman season.

Did he get better? I remember people wanted him last year if he came out. Seems like he can shoot.

I became a Jarrett Allen fan when I saw him do this last year...



that is against Sags Konate....one of the fiercest shot blockers in college basketball


Dude. That's just sick.

i think the only young athletic big who might fall to us with the cavs pick is mitchell robinson, who was highly touted in HS but sat out this year with some strange circumstances after enrolling at WKU.

other than that the guy we're talking about, brandon mccoy, is a possibility there too, though he's not very explosive. more positional.


as if it was not strange enough he enrolled @ WKU in the first place

I have heard or saw a couple blurbs about him looking good preparing for the draft....if that is true, then it is unlikely he falls.....but I know you already know that.

Seriously though...guy could have went almost anywhere and chose Western Kentucky.....didn't it have to do with a family member or something?


ya robinson is pretty much guaranteed to go before our pick if he looks even moderately good in workouts just based on his physical and athletic profile.


Cool thanks guys.

none. mike gribanov has him top 30. that's the only guy who has him even getting drafted i think.

Do you guys see Tremont Waters from LSU declaring? If yes, what range do you guys see him at? As a freshman, he seemed to have very good makeups of great backup pg, shooting/ball handling/passing/on the ball defense with upside of improvement, but I dont' see him on mock draft at all.

Thanks in advanced.

We just got out of a PF logjam; I don’t think we need to create another one.

I’d rather we get a legit SF to give depth behind Ingram - or a PG behind Lonzo, like Holliday out of UCLA, and pick up a reasonable vet center - Lopez or someone else reasonably priced - who can QB the back line of the defense.
