DD is not Stanley talent wise. He has skill and upside, more so than some already taken.

But both lose confidence easily & are not overly aggressive. Too happy to blend in, but not go getters. Could be a long night for DD.
 
Trying to remember -- have we ever had a guy declare and then not get picked in the first round? I remember Khalid was picked around #30, but I don't remember which side of the line he fell on.

I agree. DD suffers badly from lack of confidence at times, not being picked could be devastating to him. Hard to imagine a guy with his skills and talent who can also shoot the ball well may not get drafted. Maybe 55 to the Heat? That would be ideal.

Khalid was a 2nd round pick, after Jake.

I like Deandre but was really stupid to come out, there was no need too in a loaded draft class.
 
KJ Mcdaniels reminds me of Stanley Robinson a little in their style

Being picked by Miami who be great for DD. Miami likes shooters & being teamed with Bazz would give him confidence...

Cleanthony Early to the Knicks. Love the move. Great value.

Cleanthony is from Middletown, NY. He's coming home! I like the pick. Sad to see older guys falling when you know they are talented.

Damn it!!! My Sixers had like 6 billion picks in the second round, and they let Daniels go to the Raptors??? It's tough being a Sixers fan...

...congrats to DD and to Shabazz!!!
 
Feeling a lot better now... #37 isn't so bad, considering. I think he has a real shot to make it with Toronto. Now we just need NG to be selected.

Imagine how high Deandre could have gone if he hadn't stunk it up at the combine. Regardless, this is a great situation for him and he has a good shot to not only make the team but get playing time.

While I think it would have been better had he stayed (and I clearly wish he would have as a UConn fan), I don't know that it was stupid to leave. If he comes back and is inconsistent, he wouldn't be better than a late first round pick. He's the same age as seniors this year, so striking while the iron is hot and getting paid this year makes a lot of sense.
 
Happy for DD. Hope he has a great career in Toronto. If they can retain Lowry, with Derozan etc they should be a formidable team for years to come.
