    Sort of brings to mind Zhou Qi. Great defensive skills, needs to work on 3's and could use a time machine to add in his man weight.

    Seems like a really unique player (almost 2 blocks per 40 min at 6'3"). Will have to learn to hit the 3 if he wants to see the floor for us.

    We can use a young guy with fresh legs against the Warriors in the playoffs to make the hustle plays.

    What's not to like with a #46 overall pick? Long athletic guard, with quick feet and a rebounding/shot blocking prowess. Throw in his court vision and you have a much smaller version of Draymond Green in his rookie season.

    Great pick DM, you got yourself a true baller.

    Very encouraging. Anyone know what his catch and shoot percentages were from 3? Seems to have good form and lift on his shot. Might be a better set shooter than moving off a pick or off the dribble. If so, he may know his limitations and learn when to shoot and when to pass for a better shot.

    This late in the draft there are only prospects with major flaws left.

    But if we can get him making that 3 ball at a passable clip, this could be a steal.

    I can already see Westbrick and Lollard getting frustrated by this guy.

    Love the pick btw, i like the way we draft, when the package is there and the shot is the only thing that needs development i'm all for that, i think the shot is one of the easiest things to develop (at least if the form is not complete trash) if not the easiest.

    Actually, that's not very hard to accomplish these days.

    Can he play in the Texas heat or will he be Melton?
