admittedly this is the least I have studied these prospects/watched college basketball in my adult life, but do people not like the kid from Duke anymore, Johnson?

Too many ? Mark's since he opted out.. Resume is lacking..

I'll agree to disagree about Barnes.. I think his size 6'9 , length 7'2 reach  ball handling, defense of all 5 position makes him a can't miss.. At worst you get a taller longer Draymond.. At best you get Scottie Pippen..

I agree on Jones he needs more development and drafting him is a help later not now move.. But the potential is there..

Bouknight I thought the same thing with his similarity with Monk.. But he is taller longer not the athlete or explosiveness but the better defender and ball handlers already...

And I love Moody too.. Right size right skill set would instantly fit..

The Dook and state guys Johnson and funderburk were in clt for workouts…either one of them worth taking?

I'm not a fan of Jalen Johnson - but he is in play for the #11 pick.. to elaborate: he has athleticism and playmaking ability but not a good enough shooter and not sure about his character:

Quote

Goodman doubled down on his speculation on Monday night when the news broke, stating that there have been “off-court issues” between Johnson’s camp and the Blue Devils.

Johnson has been coming off the bench since Duke fell to Miami (FL) on February 1, and after playing 24 minutes off the bench in a loss to North Carolina, he played a combined 23 minutes in a loss to Notre Dame and victory over North Carolina State.

Jalen Johnson dealt with the same controversy his senior year of high school when it looked like he would play for powerhouse IMG Academy (Fla.) before never stepping on the floor due to issues with his camp and the coaching staff.

Johnson transferred back to Nicolet (Wis.), where he played as a junior, to complete his senior year.

Jalen Johnson would have been a one-and-done at Duke. There’s no secret about that, but the way in which he is leaving is cowardly.

The Blue Devils are struggling, in the midst of their worst season in nearly three decades, playing in the middle of a pandemic, and he decides to make a business decision and leave now.

A cowardly move.

 

Funderburk would be lucky to get drafted..

1. Scottie Barnes 

Physicality extreme measurables.. Best defender in the draft..  high floor with high upside.. Won't make it to us..

2. James Bouknight 

Super athletic, super scorer, super fit with Melo..

3. Moses Moody..

Great shooter, all around guard, good fit with Melo...

4. Kia Jones..

Potential, potential,  potential.. Won't be much help his rookie year.. But could develop into a franchise type 4/5..

5. Keon Johnson..

Really good perimeter defender who is the best athlete in this draft.. Needs work on his offensive game..

Great post. Thank you.

    • They are obviously waiting on for someone o the Seahawks or Patriots staff.  If they wanted Evero, it would be a done deal already. The only silver lining is if the guy they are waiting for turns them down.  In that instance I do think Evero is their backup plan.
    • Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.  
    • 1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.
