Yea, he's a little over 6'6 and a half w/o shoes on. But, unless there is some new rule that requires players to be barefoot during games, then he'll have shoes on so he'll be around 6'8. His defense will work itself out and Clifford will help significantly. Also, having him in the game alone helps Big Al tremendously. Plus he'll have Kemba Walker. Morrison had no one close to Jefferson or Walker. One of his main problems was a mental thing he couldn't overcome and a lack of talent at PG and C

- Also, just because they had similar stats, and are both white(just kidding), doesn't make them similar players at all.

If you watch McD play, he's not as bad inside the basket as you think, and he's more athletic then you think. He has what it takes to be an NBA player.

With all that being said, Zach Lavine is the guy I really want.

Btw, is there anything worse about being a Charlotte Hornet fan then the in-team rivalry between Duke and UNC fans. Especially when you don't like either team.

We need more NCSU and Wake Forest fans around here to complete the square

He very well could be the best player at 9. He's got Rudy Gay talent. Clifford is showing a lot of interest. Who do you want at 9?

 

You can not be BPA at 9 when you are primarily a spot up shooter. Hood has a shaky handle and due to his slight frame will struggle to finish over / through NBA bigs. 

 

I want Stauskas at 9 no question, especially after he showed to be more athletic than people thought at the combine.

Stauskas is the spot up shooter. Hood's got some serious length at 6'8. He's got slashing ability but yeah he needs to get in the weight room. Hood will be able to create his own shot. The huddle needs to stop with the white boys playing NBA basketball. Laugh

Sorry dude I just don't see how a 6'7 1/2 stretch 4 works on this team.

I am a UNC fan and a PJ fan. But PJ needs to get as far away from some of his boys in Greensboro and Durham as he possibly can.

None of his college violations are violations in the NBA. You should also know PJ comes from a grounded watchful family.

I know that PJ and his family are pretty good people. Some of the people he has been around or associated with in both Durham and Greensboro are not. For PJs sake I would like to see him get away from some of hanger ons and leeches and go somewhere that he can have a fresh start and just be a pro.

I am saying this not because I think PJ is a bad person, but because I want him to have the best chance to succeed.

      DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU at 8?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.

      Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
