I had to google Kris Dunn. Dude played for Providence.

All I can think is MarShon Brooks aka "The next Kobe" 

 

[nick.]

MarShon even had the young Kobe fro going too

[johnnyredstorm]

dude should be reported.

 

[frshstunna]

I can't wait to see some of the stuff in this thread in May n June

But back on topic , Dunn n Cam Payne are the pg sleepers in this draft ...wouldn't surprise me to see one of em in the lotto with some good workouts

 

[qstorm3]

Not to be out done by Towns, Duke's Jahlil Okafor officially enters the NBA draft.

 

[comptonprince]

Okafor has bust written all over him 

 

[keel252]

kid is a animal. wish somehow he would fall to the Hornets.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

if by bust you mean he'll never average less than 15 ppg than yeah, definitely a bust

swear some of y'all should be banned from the internet

 

[comptonprince]

At his very best best he will be Al Jefferson if he is lucky  once he hits them workouts his defense and weight will be a big concern 

1.Poor pick & roll defender.

2.Poor defender in space.
3.Poor shot blocker. 
4.Does not get back on defense.

5.Bad Endurance

 

[johnnyredstorm]

all you stated are his defensive inefficiencies but you're leaving out his strengths that overpower those downfalls. he's almost as fundamentally sound as Tim Duncan. okafor will be a damn fine scorer in this league. he's 10x the passer al jefferson is. he's not a blackhole. he has a good iq for a big man.

A big man that cant D in the NBA is trash I will take Rudy Gobert type center over Okafor type everyday

Guess you can just ignore the offensive end huh

 

[comptonprince]

Guess you can just ignore the offensive end huh

What NBA center puts up huge PPG these days? Rim protection/Defense  is whats more valued these days the fact that Winslow might get drafted before him should say enough

.....And that's why Okafor is a great prospect. He his skilled offensively, something a lot of NBA bigs AREN'T

Two of the best NBA centers, Dwight Howard & DeAndre Jordan, are so limited on offense, that it negates their GREAT defense
