DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

[Mavs2019]

I'm not that high on Bane. To me he's an effort player. Doesn't have the tools to succeed on a larger scale. My comparison for him is Alex Caruso.

I think the Bane to Caruso comparison is not fair to Caruso. I watched Caruso his whole college career and his athleticism popped at the college level (and still shines at the NBA level in moments) and he has at least a couple inches of length on Bane (if not more since Caruso was still growing when he was last measured).

But to your overall point, Bane does not stick out enough in the college setting to give me much hope about his game translating. Just my take.

To evaluate Bane on the existing evidence is fair, but we know almost nothing about 70% of this draft class. Wiseman played like three college games. None of us fans know what he did the last nine months. He could have delevoped a mid and long-range game like Kevin Durant.

Pokusevski could look like Ivan Drago. The fact that there haven´t been any recent videos of him (afaik) is highly suspicious to me. This gives me Dirk vibes, when Pitino wanted to lock him up in the Celtics basement until the draft.

He probably worked out for the Thunder, took his shirt off, and Presti was like: Everybody hand over their phones now. You get a sledge hammer, that camera over there and there, destroy them. Draw up the NDAs, you know blabbermouth over there.
