Jay Magic 1,244 Report post Posted January 19 5 minutes ago, CTMagicUK said: Yea I saw Jonathan Givony tweeted about him last week on Reddit. Mid major, 22 year old forward who can't shoot doesn't sound like a draft pick to me but I admit I've never actually watched him play. wasserman put him up on twitter maybe same vid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But he’ll be a top 10 pick in this draft now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted January 21 Worth noting Ivisic is old for a freshman, he's like half a year older than Anthony Black for example and he's been draft eligible for 2 years. But in this class, if he has consistent performances like that, he's probably a top 5 pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fan for too long 2 531 Report post Posted January 21 Btw. Shannon is back playing today for Illini. That dude if he clears this charge is really good with the ball in transition. And can shoot it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fan for too long 2 531 Report post Posted January 21 Also I would take a flier in second round on Omoruyi from Rutgers. 6-11 240 athletic and long. Good defending shot blocking center. Domask also looks promising from Illinois 5th year player. Smart player who can get hot, fearless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted January 23 Kansas's Johnny Furphy has kind of had a run of breakout games the last few. Big wing freshman who can shoot should always be on our radar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted January 26 The Ringer draft guide is online. It is, as always, absolutely hilarious. Kevin O Connor is such a a terrible scout it's unreal. For the "shades of" section for Justin Edwards (6'8 forward) he has Malik Monk (6'3 guard). I do not believe anybody who has ever seen Justin Edwards play would think he looked anything like Malik Monk. They are both lefties who played at Kentucky. That is where their similarities end. He has Cody Williams at 2 with "shades of" Jalen Rose. But Oso Ighodaro at 20 with "shades of" Al Horford and Izan Almansa at 25 with "shades of" Kevin Love. Make it make sense. This man is not a scout he's just a guy with a fancy website. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,482 Report post Posted January 29 Dalton Knecht is on an absolute tear right now. Just can't stop scoring. I love the slow deliberate way he plays the game on ball, just gets to his spots and scores the ball. Think I might have him in my lottery now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreyMachine 398 Report post Posted January 29 Is it terrible, now that I expect us to be out of the lottery, that I really don't care about the NBA draft during the season? I get that it's important and you can find serviceable backups or diamonds in the rough, but it's really hard for me to get into the NBA draft knowing that we are not going to get any of the top players.
