Albert Lergier 99 Report post Posted June 29, 2021 3 hours ago, CTMagicUK said: Givony and Schmitz also have Barnes and Bouknight as two of their biggest winners of the combine along with GIDDEY who (although he didn't attend) thry say there's a real buzz about as people ask others for opinions. Think Giddey might end up a top 10 (#8 plz) pick. Jonathan Givony @ Draft Express on Barnes, " excels when he takes long strides to the rim and extends for layups. Often called a freight train in the open court" I've previously named Barnes, Scottie (Pippen) Barnes. Today I re-name him, Scottie (Pippen-LeBron) Barnes. Got to add him to the Magic and "pair" him with JI, his buddy from FSU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand the point of the article is surprise picks, but Moody at #5 better not happen. We are in no position to take anything other than absolute BPA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You get it !!! Scottie (Pippen - LeBron) Barnes At 19 yrs, 6'9, 225, 7'3" wingspan, 39 1/2" vertical, 2.99-second shuttle was the 2nd best at the combine, 3rd largest hands in this class.....

Combine tested athleticism and functional athleticism are very different. Pat Connaughton had a 44' max vert at the combine but it doesn't show up in his play. Scottie doesn't have the burst, shake or explosion of Pippen at all in my opinion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,483 Report post Posted June 29, 2021 I wonder if Weltman and Hammond are tempted to draft and stash Ibou Dianko Badji at 33. Mobile 7'1 center with a 7'6 wingspan. Could leave him at Barca for a couple of years and see how he develops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hootie249 293 Report post Posted June 29, 2021 Guys, i'm really starting to like Bouknight. I like his explosive first step and body control. I love that he is a bit older. I love the news coming out about his shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless we need to trade one, keep both WCJ and Bamba and draft and stash a center to be the future back-up. Pay whichever center develops and bring a euro center over next offseason.
