Michigans entire front-court measured outstanding. Fortunately no one in the country is going to be that big this year
NBA Draft

- Northwest Suburbs
I know it was likely Morez was going to be gone but looks like it’s a sure thing based off his day 1 performance.
Thunder are already insanely loaded and are the number one rated defensive team this season. If Yaxel is there at 12 for them that will just be the rich getting richer for Sam Presti.
Florida.
Will Campbell. He had a rough rookie season (especially that SB).
40” club is exceptional! Damn!
Fun fact, Yaxel is a month older than Josh Giddey, who is going into his 6th year in the league.
thats kinda shocking. I pegged him as a mediocre athlete, which is why he has to rely on so many off balance shots. Which thankfully he is really good at. If he's got that type of vertical at his height, jump over people Drej.
Uhhh… have you not seen his dunk package this past year? lol
He was trying to put everyone on a poster. Missed a few monster jams due to what looked like the ball just slipping out of his hand.
Mixed bag from Andrej Stojakovic today.
Vertical was great. 1st in running vert and 8th in stand still. Overall mediocre agility and speed drills. Not great with full court sprint, was one of the worst times.
Really struggled in the shooting drills, was almost dead last in three point shooting and was bottom half of others. (For reference, twenty five guys did a three point shooting drill, and he finished twenty third. Will be something he works on in the offseason to gear up for his senior year at Illinois).
Overall, not sure he helped himself much today. The experience will be big for this offseason.

They’ll be big, but as big as Michigan last year really? Who’d they add?
I'm not sure Illinois fans have ever been more spoiled by one player as it pretains to the term "athlete" than Terrance Shannon Jr.
Andrej could get to the rim and finish at will. He was never "mediocre athlete."

This to me is one of the games within the game of this draft.
Let's say the Pacers remain relatively average (obviously they'll have a very good team this year; definitely not suggesting they'll miss the playoffs) and the No. 5 pick turns into one of the top players in the league .... it'll be looked at as one of the all time worst trades for IND and a franchise savior for LAC.

Condon / Haugh / Chinyelu not big?
I think Arizona is in that discussion as well if they get Koa Peat back. They'll have Ivan K / Peat / Krivas.

Sounds like this has the potential to help him immensely if he takes the learnings and uses it to grow and develop to improve the weaker parts of his game. It didn’t do squat if he doesn’t change anything.
