    Joe Ingles has never played for Miami. 

    Also, how much Creighton have you watched?

    Because Baylor Scheierman is neither the primary option nor do they have bad spacing. Creighton are a top 20 offense in the country largely because of how well spaced they are, they have several great shooters including Mason (son of Mike) Miller, Francisco Farabello, Steven Ashworth is a pretty great shooter at the college level, Trey Alexander (their actual primary option though I admit it's kind of 1a/1b rather than 1/2) is having a down year from 3 but teams still close out on him. Even their big Kalkbrenner hits a 3 now and again and at least steps out to run DHO etc and isn't just clogging the paint on every possession.

    I was maybe a bit harsh to say Scheierman is only a solid shooter he's a very good shooter. I just think it's lofty to compare him to someone like Joe who we've seen knock down over 40% from NBA 3 for a decade. But I hope I'm wrong because I really like him as a prospect. 

    It's not that lofty of a comp when you take into consideration that I'm talking about Ingles as of today. The 16-18 mins Ingles. The poor man's version of the Utah Jazz Ingles.  I'm not talking about prime Joe Ingles. If he was that guy, he'd be a top 10 pick in this class.

    As far as Creighton, I watched a lot of Big East games and they been very boom or bust all season based on their 3pt shooting. The spacing isn't bad, it's just Ashworth hasn't been the guy they expected. The level up in competition has affected his play. You rarely know if he's out there when they play the top teams in the conference. Which is why more ball handling responsibility have been placed on Trey and Baylor. I believe that's why Trey is having a down year shooting the 3. He didn't have to worry about that last year with Nembhard. He just had to focus on scoring. 

    Also, I believe Scheierman is the guy on that team. The coaches in the Big East do as well, which is why they voted him 1st Team All Big East. He also was in the running for BIg East POY. I think Trey is the better pro prospect, though.

    Ingles from the past 2 years is a better shooter than Scheierman. 

    But Ingles benefited by playing off guys like Antetokounmpo Butler, Adebayo, and Paolo, too. Scheierman is playing a different role at Creighton. He's the primary guy on a team with bad spacing due to poor shooting. He shot well over 40% (47% in 2021-2022) from three in back to back season at NDSU. But it's not just the shooting, it's also his ability to create for other, too. The guy is a triple-double threat on any given night at the college level. He's just playing on a team that can't shoot.

    if we draft a second round prospect, my main target is Karaban! Very underrated player

     

    Jaylon Tyson was a second round prospect, but he’ll go first round now.

    Nikola Durisic isn’t in the focus anymore. I’d also consider him.

    Pacome Dadiet is nice. 

    Kam Jones nice fit.. 

     

    There are some hidden gems out there and we need to fill out the roster if we don’t bring back Okeke, Bitadze

    I like Karaban, too. I just feel Scheierman can do a little bit more than him. I honestly feel Karaban should go back to school. He started the year on fire, but cooled off toward the 2nd half of the season - which is why he didn't make any of the All Big East Teams.

    I love Baylor Scheierman and I also want us to draft him, I've mentioned several times in this thread how he's underrated, but I think comparing him to Joe is having lofty expectations. Joe is and has been an elite shooter and Baylor is more of just a solid/good shooter. 

    nah, I'm not comparing him to prime ingles, i'm talking Ingles from the past 2 years.

    unfortunately Fultz ain’t him anymore.. Not only did he loose his shot, especially midrange. Also seeing that video, Fultz has lost a step and is less dynamic right now…

     

    something is really going wrong with him 

    Sh#t, sad. I think they were banking on getting this version of Kelle after his impact on the team last year. It definitely back fire, though. We'd be top 3 in the east if he was healthy, and playing at a faster pace, too.

    "ability to score at all three levels" lol that is not at all Carlton Carrington unless we're not counting the rim as one of the three levels. 

    I mean, from what I seen he's been a three level scorer. The kid was getting anywhere he wanted to on the court. I mean he's 18 and his body isn't fully develop yet, but he attacks the rim pretty well for his size. Plus, you add in his play making and his potential to be a plus defender, I can't see him getting out of the top 20. He has one of the highest upside outside of the top 10-12 prospect in this class, and one of the hottest prospects, too. Teams are going to be intrigued by his size, age and potential that they'll be more willing to bank on his upside, rather than taking a guy that's 22 or 23 years old.


  7. Two veteran NBA scouts told HoopsHype they’d select Carrington in the first round of this year’s draft.

    “Carrington has been able to score the ball and is going to be a very good NBA player,” one of the NBA scouts told HoopsHype.”He reminds me of a younger and healthier Caris LeVert when he was coming out of Michigan. He should be as high as the lottery, in my opinion. He can score at all three levels and play some point guard. It’s not his natural position, but he can do it.

    His size, age and ability to score at all three levels will have teams willing to take a chance on him in the 1st round. More than likely top 20.


  8. Wasserman has him going 26th in his latest mock, and had him going 29th in his previous mock. He's been one of the hottest prospects in college the past month, along with Devin Carter.

    26. Washington Wizards (via Clippers): Carlton Carrington

    26 OF 58

    Previous mock draft spot: No. 29

    School/team: Pittsburgh

    Position: PG/SG

    Size: 6'5", 190 lbs

    Age: 18, Freshman

    Nationality: American

    Pro comparison: Nickeil Alexander-Walker

    One of the more interesting names teams will monitor during the predraft process, Carlton Carrington has divided scouts with his shotmaking, playmaking production and some athletic and statistical red flags. He finished the regular season averaging 1.9 threes, 5.2 boards and 4.2 assists, impressive production for a 6'5", 18-year-old point guard in the ACC. But he also shot 47.7 percent on layups, made just 23 half-court field goals at the rim and recorded 17 steals in 31 games. Scouts are drawn to his positional size, pull-up game and live-dribble passing, but they're torn by his lack of rim pressure, heavy reliance on jumpers and scary defensive playmaking rate.


  9. I think Bub goes top 20 in this class if he were to declare. This will be one of the oldest draft classes, due to the Covid year, and he's the youngest prospect in this class (doesn't turn 19 until after the draft). Plus, he finish the year pretty strong, shot over 40% from 3 over the past month and rebounds the ball very well for his size.

    Just off his potential alone, and the way he stuff the stat sheet in his freshman year, I think he's a lock to go top 20 in this class.

    NBA free agents I'd like us to consider signing this summer:

    • Jrue Holiday (P.O.)
    • D. Russell
    • M. Monk
    • G. Allen
    • T. Jones
    • Kenatvious Caldwell-Pope

    I like the idea of starting two guards who can drain the three alongside Franz and Paulo. I don't trust Harris long-term, but our real weakness right now is in our bench. I don't see how we roll with Kelle and Cole next year. 

    Sign D-Lo and trade for Corey Kispert.  Draft Johnny Furphy (reminds me of Trey Murphy) in the first round and Baylor Scheierman (reminds me of Joe Ingles) in the second round.

    Feels like coach is the last one that hasn’t given up on Markelle yet. Hate to say it as a huge fan of his personally, but he’s done

    Yeah, we pretty much need to revamp the guard position. Harris, Fultz and Cole all need to be replace this summer. We just need a lead guard and another shooter to put things in place, offensively.

    The key word is: "when there's proper spacing" around. Up to this point, how often has that happened for the Magic? 

    Never. 

    I know everybody likes to compare us to Boston, but I think we're more in line with New Orleans. Two big athletic wings (Ingram and Zion) who struggle with shooting. But the difference with the Pelicans, they surrounded those guys with shooters. McCollum, Murphy, Hawkins, Marshall, Jones and Ryan. Everyone of those guys shoot over 39% from 3. Valanciunas also provide spacing, too. Weltman needs to follow suit, starting this summer.
