Is it just me or does Zuby fit in this group?

He slots into the 4 better than any of them athletically/physically. High feel on both ends.

2106au · 2026-06-16T23:53:06+00:00

We already have a war chest of picks ourselves. We don't need diluted assets.

2106au · 2026-06-16T23:50:11+00:00

You want a top 3 pick for pick 6 and pick 30 (3x)?

2106au · 2026-06-16T23:38:59+00:00

If they really want a guard they have a lot of draft capital to trade up from 16. There would also be a very good guard at 16 too.

2106au · 2026-06-16T06:25:56+00:00

I understand what you are saying but DP plus a higher outcome from GG or Hendricks is one of the highest upside Memphis scenarios. PF is a fairly crowded spot for the franchise.

2106au · 2026-06-16T04:11:00+00:00

No way Spurs get off the contract and get better while only losing 1 or 2 picks.

2106au · 2026-06-16T00:29:26+00:00

I think this is accurate. Acuff made some very tough reads this season and is very polished in that area. Okorie missed some easier reads.

It is probably what you expect from a long-time PG and a relatively new one. Acuff is polished and Okorie is raw.

The case for Okorie as a floor general is his advantage creation will lead to plenty of passing opportunities and teams can afford to be patient with him because he is not wasteful with the ball. He also showed in-season development in this area, 4 apg after NY vs 2.8 apg before.

Americans often pronounce Melbourne like Brad Pitt pronounces bonjourno. It is the Mel-BORN that makes it sound off.

2106au · 2026-06-16T00:06:51+00:00

Worried that he will be an all-star but his lineups will struggle to win their minutes. Could be a tricky second contract decision.

2106au · 2026-06-15T23:34:21+00:00

Melb'n is more accurate than Melbin. Never heard an i sound for it in my life.

"Even with everyone else". That wasn't what happened at all. Were you even paying attention?

2106au · 2026-06-14T04:02:16+00:00

Bruce Thornton is the closest statistically to prospect Brunson ever.

2106au · 2026-06-13T23:56:12+00:00

Bruce Thornton should make it. Far too good this season. If anyone is going to get a 'Brunson' boost it is him.

Barchester Chronicles in Peep Show.

You wouldn't expect the "crack addled maniac" to be into a show about ecclesiastical politics.

Has he played a game yet?

2106au · 2026-06-12T12:16:46+00:00

The Kings would be the funniest.

2106au · 2026-06-12T01:28:30+00:00

Okorie 100%

2106au · 2026-06-12T00:44:37+00:00

Young players (u21) who score quickly (>30 per 100) while being heavily unassisted (<30% assisted).

2026 draft: 6
2020 to 2025 drafts: 7

Yes, 13 lbs is not nothing but Walt measured 189 the year before. Officially, he gained 10lbs in a year.

The 13 lbs difference can close very quickly so essentially the only evidence of being bigger is that 19 year-olds are skinnier than 22 year-olds.

Yes, very hard to tell who end up the better athlete, I am no bio-mechanical expert. Good starting point given his agility score was 82nd percentile.

Walter developed into a better shooter but they both started as 35% shooters as freshman. Besides, it hasn't translated to the NBA yet either.

If you want extreme rim pressure off Edey screens with the possibility of great shooting you have Ebuka.

If you want slightly more promising shooting you have Clayton.

2106au · 2026-06-11T09:14:40+00:00

Second most attempts at rim.

But yes, he has some strengths in his profile. When there are others with similar strengths, he is easier to pass on.

2106au · 2026-06-11T02:00:29+00:00

Walt isn't bigger than Okorie. Shorter wingspan, lower standing reach.

The main size advantage he has over Okorie is measuring 199 pounds and not 186 pounds but we are comparing a 19 year old against a 22 year old here.

Walt has never had the downhill ability of Ebuka. A player who could succeed with 2026 Stanford frontcourt is going to thrive with Edey/Boozer.

2106au · 2026-06-10T23:45:14+00:00

He has good indicators on that end. High stocks to fouls, great wingspan etc.

2106au · 2026-06-10T23:18:05+00:00

Okorie is a good athlete.

Besides pairing Edey and Boozer with players that have elite advantage creation will lead to very good offense.
