Yup, would be ok if the Cavs didn't have 2 other 6'1" guards who plays heavy minutes.... To add to the other shorter SG that the Cavs have, personally I just don't like having an undersized backcourt specially if they are not good defenders....
McBride would be a decent back up pg prospect, the other two i would pass on
Eh that's because no one believes the Cavs are a fit for anyone.
Agree with this. The Cavs have enough undersized guards. They need length and some athletic players at that spot.
I really like Preston…kid has an amazing story and has made himself into quite a player. I met the guy, Brad Traina, who helped discover Preston, who had been a high school benchwarmer in the Orlando area. He helped get Preston to a prep school and tD1 scholarship.
I’ll preface this by saying that Kuminga has all the physical gifts you could ever want. I’ve watched some interviews & game tape. The kid speaks 5 languages and seems to be very intelligent. That said, he has only been in the US for 5 years and English is not his native tongue. He is very soft spoken, quiet, & shy. I’ve seen him be passive, bordering on lazy, on the court as well, which is more concerning.
You’re absolutely right. Internal drive is something that is very hard to learn…you either have it or you don’t. Kuminga comes across to me as extremely laid back & passive, bordering on lazy.
I’ve not heard that. I’ve heard Cade is only working out for Detroit and Green is only working out for Houston. I haven’t heard much about Mobley or Suggs and it’s been strangely quiet around them. I know Kuminga is working out for teams picking 3-6 and likely others too.
Well my assumption would be that Cooper would backup Garland and Sexton is probably traded.
I mean Cade is a great fit on any of the top 3 teams. But if you're a drafting top 3, and are as bad as the teams drafting top 3 this year, you shouldn't be worried about fit. If the Rockets really do plan on playing KPJ at PG, I'm not at all convinced that Green is a good fit there (personally I think that F.O. is trying to chum the trade waters by leaking that they really like a multitude of players). The Raptors at No. 4 would clearly prefer Mobley over Suggs. My supposition is that the rumor about the Rockets being torn between Suggs and Green is being put out there with the hope that the Raptors will offer real value to trade up and grab Mobley in front of the Cavs.
In a world where we didn't have Sexton, we could do much worse than taking Cooper with a late 1st. He has some red flags (defense, shooting form and shot trajectory), but his ability to recognize and create shots for others is next-level. He is an absolute wizard with the ball in hands and has a knack for getting to the free throw line - he's very difficult to stay in front of and he has the court vision to kill you.
