Harrell is LISTED at 6'8. Woulntdnt be suprised if he's actually 6'6 or 6'7. Pass!

he plays bigger than his height and he got like a 7'2" wing span

Weaknesses: Still very raw as a basketball player ... Doesn't have much of a post game at all ... Appears somewhat mechanical with the ball in his hands offensively ... Not a great defensive rebounder (2.2 DRPG). Needs to work on his technique instead of relying solely on athleticism ... Has a great wingspan, but is still slightly undersized for a power forward at 6'8 ... Footwork is rough ... Poor free throw shooter (51%) ... Can be overly aggressive at times, particularly on defense ... Really needs to diversify his offensive game beyond around-the-rim plays if he wants to be more than a one-dimensional role player at the next level

NBA Comparison: JJ Hickson/Bo Outlaw

I'll say it again...Pass!
 
Frank impressed me in the tournament but he is going to have to get seriously stronger and more accurate with his shot to be a quality starter in the NBA.

NCAA basketball is totally different than the NBA and success or mediocrity in one doesn't always mean it will be the same in the other. Like I stated earlier in this thread he will be a solid NBA player as is, in the right situation but in order for him to be more he still has a bit of work to do with his body and game.

i wouldnt draft kaminksy for the simple fact that hes white

every year it seem like theres this white boy killing shit in college only to be drafted and never being heard of again - off the top of my head i dont think there is a white player currently playing in the nba i would want on my team outside of depth (unless hes euro)

if kaminsky turns out to be different its something i would just have to live with but i see him being nothing more than a 8 pts 4 rebs 15 minute rotational guy that jon leuer shit

Wanted to go with Okafor, but I'll take Towns. My biggest beef with Okafor is he catches the ball so high, then tries bully ball. If he caught the ball closer to the paint, the game would be much easier. He's not gonna be able to catch the ball damn near at the corner 3 like that in the league
 
charles barkley though lmao i will take your opinion before his -- its so obvious watching him over the years do work for ncaa that he doesnt do his homework for teams/players -- what he says during the tournament is useless more often then not -- his nba analysis is better but even then we all know hes only there for his entertainment value and not his wisdom

the thing about kaminsky other than being white is this -- im looking at it from a different lens than you

the way i see it is it took him several years to get to the level hes at so i dont know how much better he can get and as it stands he will struggle with nba size and speed -- you can overcome one perhaps but both are tough he would have to be lethal from 3 and as we know the nba 3 differs from the college 3 (he a little slow with the release too) and even then its hard to have a place in the league being able to defend no one

i personally think there was some upperclassmen taking advantage of underclassmen thing and will have a similar career that of jon leuer who had a similar career to franks during his time in wisconsin who was also similar in size and skill set
 
Really doesn't matter who's the best center anymore. PG's, SG's, SF's and PF's don't pass the ball to centers consistently enough for them to do the damage they could do if anyway. Centers drafted to the NBA almost become non-factors b/c the coaches and players won't run plays for them. More than half their points come from tip-ins or as a relief/accident pass from a PG who got trapped. Pisses me off a little. They took the big man out the game.

Good point, see how they phasing the position out of the ASG.

But I think the position still serves a purpose and you want a good of one as you can get.
