Man, this would be so awesome for us. But I think you'd also see pretty strong tanking teams from the get-go.

He's got the size at 6'11 but I want to knowIt seems his natural position is a rebounding wing/power forward who can create and shoot. But at 6'11 with a 7'0 wingspan he should have the frame for it. He needs to add weight if he wants to be a center full time, but at 220 pounds he has a solid base.Long story short, the guy has been on NBA radar since he was a freshman in high school because he shows a legitimate ability to play inside and out. He has guard skills as a large pf. He is the kind of player franchise's tank their tails off for.He's a PF. He would probably be most effective playing next to a bruiser like Baynes or Zizic. Most Cs in the league are still big strong dudes despite the media narrative.And all signs point to a go. Duke it probably is..

I'd say they win 15-20 games tops..

Most Cs in the league are still big strong dudes despite the media narrative.And all signs point to a go. Duke it probably is..I agree his natural position is PF. But due to his size, he wouldn't struggle for stretches at C. I can't imagine how good he would be in a spread it out system. If we stick a banger in there to clog up the lane, we lose a bit of that. I actually think he would complement Horford beautifully. Horford is a center at this stage who doesn't rebound. Bagley is a large PF who excels at rebounding. He is also quick enough to guard those perimeter 4s that are everywhere (one of the main reasons Horford at PF is useless is his inability to cover those 4s.)
I don't want Doncic. I am a huge fan of line-up flexibility but we do have 12,000 small forwards on our team.

Quote from: celts55 on July 19, 2017, 08:55:56 AMCool, but what does reclassify mean? Thanks againHe's old enough to get drafted next year, so if he has enough credits to graduate high school now instead of next year he can go to college this year and then be drafted next year (as opposed to going to high school for another year, then go to college and enter the 2019 draft, which is what will happen if he doesn't reclassify)Basically he'd be changing what grade he's in to become eligible for the NCAA and NBA draft a year earlier
Cool, but what does reclassify mean? Thanks again

Not a SF..Someone has to defend the opposing point guard. Doncic probably won't be great at defending 3's let alone point guards.

Could we have a future of play-making wings with Jaylen as the defensive pg?
Wow, Bagley moves like a guard. Unbelievable how mobile and coordinated he is for someone who is 6'11. Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjwDQd_6BbY&t=83s
