Hopefully Bruce Brown is as good as IBWT says he is. That's the range the Cavs will be picking.
Opening night triple double,baby!

Yea I think Miles, Bamba, and Brown are the guys that will be in the 6-9 range... Hopefully BKN falls in a better spot but as of now it's shaping up to be 5 or worse
Bamba is not going to be in the 6-9 range. He is going to have a very convicning season and he is going top 5 for sure, easily
Bamba's arms are so long, they don't even look real. Holy shit.
Biggest differnce between him and Gobert as far as physique go is that Gobert is just a much bigger dude. Height and even girth play a role on both offense and defense imo. He can have the same wingspan and standing reach as Gobert, but Gobert is still more intimidating inside. Being a big body is huge. Bamba will have problems with explosive, much stronger dudes coming at him for a dunk, even Gobert has that problem from time to time. I hope that in time he will be able to add mass to that frame.
But from this very short clip, do you have an opinion? I know it's early, but i'm still curious.
Hard to draw much considering northwestern state is generally a small team. I think the one thing I take away is that I didn't realize how skilled he was. He was comfortable handling the ball and he actually has a decent looking shot.
The downside, from that short clip, is he doesn't look super assertive. He's kind of tentative in his movements. I can't tell how explosive he is, but it may be because he's so damn long it doesn't look like he's moving that fast.
I'll have to make sure I watch a game, probably when he goes up against Kansas. Azubuike isn't an NBA prospect, but he's a huge body that should beat him up.
The more guys I see in this class, the more excited I get. Porter, Bagley, Doncic, Ayton, Bamba, Brown... this is going to be like an 8 player draft by the time we get to June (and the Cavs will have the ninth pick (ha))
Love to hear your breakdown from the top prospects' pregame shooting routine and mechanics. Have fun man, should be an absolute blast!I'll be at the MSU-Duke and KU-UK games in Chicago tomorrow. I'll report back on Bagley, Bridges, Knox and anyone else you guys want a heads up on.
