Dual-Threat Rigby 8,648 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Brooklyn would be cool, they’d need him more than anybody. They’re also the best destination for him to further his offensive development. Kenny is tier 1 on that side imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,042 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I don't agree with Brooklyn because they have too many young bodies that can do what he do. So I don't think playing time would be great, he wouldn't really have anybody great to learn under...But really little more playing time than anything. They have a bunch of young long guys who can handle and shoot and should be able to play defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a bunch of young long guys who can handle and shoot and should be able to play defense. He'd allow them to go small more often. For the Philly series for example, while Dudley was their best scorer at times, you shouldnt have to rely on a 40 year old player as your best small ball 4. They're a roster that should be playing small ball more than anything (especially with how soft Allen is), and he'd automatically be one of their top 3 defenders on the roster (they stink on that end, especially from the perimeter). It might be tough playing time NOW, but in 1-2 seasons after, it'd be a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,648 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Him and Caris, presuming Chuma's athleticism will return, is one of the best two way young forward duos Brooklyn could conceive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,397 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Does anyone think Chuma gets legit nba minutes next season after recovering? I doubt any roster is important for him until 2nd year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,818 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I could see a team holding him out for his first year to make sure he gets all the way back. Rosters will look very different next season. With all the big time free agents picking new teams a lot team's needs will be different than they are today. Especially for teams like Brooklyn, for example, who have an opportunity to make a splash in free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,648 Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Hawks could realistically get Okeke now (if they wanted to). I feel like they’ll trade down on one of those top 20 picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,042 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Last write up about chumma from the professionals.....sounds familiar It is a shame that Okeke went down with an injury in the Sweet 16 against North Carolina. Okeke was having the game of his career against top-tier competition and it was making his draft stock soar. Some felt that had Okeke stayed healthy, Auburn would have won the title. If he follows up that performance against Kentucky and then against Virginia or Texas Tech in Minnesota then we’re probably talking about Okeke as a lottery pick. He fits today’s NBA as a small-ball four with plenty of defensive potential. We will have to see how he responds to this injury, but if he remains the same player then that is exactly what he will be in the NBA. Okeke has an effortless shot and can really stroke it from deep where he hit 39%+ combined in his two years under Bruce Pearl. He’s very active on the defensive end where he averaged over a steal and a block a game for the Tigers. Okeke also knows how to take advantage of smaller defenders and be able to post up on the block. He has a very versatile game that includes athleticism and decent playmaking ability. Where Okeke may struggle is potentially creating his own shot at the next level. Okeke benefitted from playing off two great guards like Bryce Brown and Jared Harperto get him open. But there are so many aspects of Okeke’s game to like whether it is the three-point shooting, guarding multiple positions, or perfectly fitting in as a small-ball four. It all comes down to how he bounces back from injury, but in the late first round to early second round Okeke will likely reward a team for taking a chance on him, as his upside is among the top 10-15 players in this year's draft.

I was following the NBA thread on the non Auburn sports page. I think Chuma goes no later than 35th pick to Pelicans. I think the additional picks they just acquired allows them to gamble on an injury pick like Okeke. Could go Spurs sooner than that. My opinion anyways.
