Sabonis vs Utah highlights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfUc0GpcGEk

Thanks for posting. You can see a bit of his dad in his game. With Towns and Sabonis you would have two bugs that can space the floor offensively and rebound effectively.

Sabonis isn't a great shot blocker, but I really like his game a lot. I think he will be a late lottery pick.

I am almost to the point of just taking Sabonis where we are at. If he has another game or 2 like this he will go in the lottery. The guy just has a meat and potatoes type game. Nothing is hurried. Looks to be high IQ. He would be a great fit for the this team. (as I have said before)

Walkup sure has been fun to watch.

He's on my short list. I would also be open to trading down, say with Denver, and picking up another one of their first rounders to grab a shooter or draft n stash Euro.

I haven't seen his dad's passing abilities out of him yet, but they have a similar game.

Buddy Hield is looking very special. I'm thinking of moving him up to 3 overall, behind Ingram and Simmons. I normally don't like seniors but this guy can just play and while his 3 point shooting gets all the attention, I am impressed with his whole game. On the same token, Jaylen Brown laid an egg and I'm no longer sure he warrants a top 5 pick. This is sort of my thinking right now:

1. Ingram 2. Simmons 3 & 4. Hield/Bender 5 thru 7. Poeltl, Dunn & Brown

I'm really digging this Buddy Hield kid from Oklahoma. I don't care if he's a senior, this kid looks like he belongs at the next level..and he looks polished.

I think what I like most about Hield is that he worked his butt off to really improve his game. You want players like that on your team. He would greatly improve the bench as well. A ton of options for the wolves to go in the draft.

Ricky needs a Buddy.

In all honesty though, Buddy might be able to start over LaVine due to high basketball IQ, overall game, and defense. Either way, we'd be in good shape in our backcourt going forward if we had a rotation including Rubio, LaVine, Tyus, and Hield.

We'd remain thin at forward depth, but there are bigs you can get to fill in those backup roles out there.

One game shouldn't alter how you see a prospect. See: Andrew Wiggins vs Stanford (2014).
