Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 5634205, member: 60"] I think Donnie will have good measureables for his height and reach and all that. I think he's bulked up and can prob hang more muscle without impeding any of his skills. I think he'll crush interviews with GMs and scouts and coaches. I'm less worried about his lack of explosive athleticism because I think he has a bball IQ and has enough athetlic ability combined with height and reach to be totally fine in the NBA at least as a rotational guy, especially if he's not a first or second option in a unit on the floor (his extreme upside I think would be a second guy at the very top of his potential, but I think that is unlikely). I am worried about his health a little. He not only needs to stay healthy, he is someone that I think will benefit from NBA-level training in terms of recovery, running properly, how his body works, etc. He has to train his body a bit better and be aware of how he is landing and moving in general. I really like him as a top of the second round prospect. He seems like a coachable kid with room for growth and he's competitive. This goes without saying, but I think he is someone that would exponentially benefit from going to an organization like a Spurs, Cs, OKC, etc where they are already good, have a great infrastructure, would love to be able to offload some guys eventually that may be looking at signing large contracts coming up and can be replaced with a rookie deal and someone that doesn't have to play 32 mpg off the rip. I know everyone wants to go to a good org, but when you look at someone that has clear talent but may need some real training/coaching but is open to it, I think it means even more. The three things that struck me when I saw him in person: 1) his height listing isn't fake. he's real tall. 2) you can see his innate talent, clearly. 3) he is a bit awkward in his body still.
