Notebook: Moritz Wagner trending toward first round, NBA Draft Combine, more

I think Bamba is a distant third on that list. He is just sooooo raw on offense. its like playing 4 on 5.

Gimme Jackson or Bagley all day.

Go get em Duncan

That makes me incredibly happy. This has gotta be a dream for Duncan. He earned every second of this opportunity.

Also I wont rule out that the Lakers will give him a serious look. This is the team that signed Alex Caruso after a good summer league performance for 37 games and 7 starts last season.

Good workout can earn him a Summer League invite and I absolutely agree. This team is badly in need of shooting and like you said, they showed with Caruso that theyā€™re willing to sign undrafted FAs. They let Wear play a bunch too and I donā€™t believe he was drafted.

Give me bagley too, but not Jackson. Bamba will develop offensively. I think Jackson will at best a solid number two option/ good third option ( nothing wrong with that and I like him) I truly believe bamba will be a very good two possible low end number one option in 5 years.

His offense will develop nicely.

It is no surprise to me that Rob Pelinka found a tryout spot for a Michigan 3 point specialist!

Not to get this thread too off course, but I think Wendell Carter is better than Bagley and bamba and will have better careers than both.

Thatā€™s not a crazy thought, although I like bagley better. I like crater more than Jackson but I could see carter being better then all three. Duke really fell apart when he was out but dominated when he was in versus Kansas.

Moe will be working out with the Wizards tomorrow.

That three ball will be money ball! Too many teams struggling to keep pace in the league with the three.

I think Lauri Markannenā€™s success in the NBA last year may help Moe out when it comes to having a team pick him higher than his measurables/output suggest. Not saying Moe is nearly as good as Lauri is, but they have a similar game.

Oh manā€¦I certainly hope he doesnā€™t go to the Kings. What an inept franchise.
