I imagine if you looked at his commit thread you'd see me multiple times saying his impact would be defensively. As a matter of fact even in high school he was better at D than offense. And the way the game is played now puts him in an even better position Staying here another year does absolutely nothing for him personally, I guess fans look at it as score some 20 point games and now you're ready but smart people that actually run a NBA team can see what he has to offer them now and know as far as developing him more, their staff can do much more than a school that doesn't play him at the position they will use him. He's first round, to say mid second round is laughable at most it would be a slip to early firstand this is right now. He's a great athlete so pro day he'll boost up. Golden State would love to have a guy that could do what draymon Greene does right now. Like I said though only thing that holds him back is the sacrifices he made for this school playing out of position and not being as developed as an offensive threat on the perimeter Chumma is easily the best draft prospect besides Barkley Auburn has ever had. I wouldn't say easily. Mike Mitchell was a scoring machine at AU. Led the conference a couple of times and was all time leading scorer until Chuck Person. He was 15th player selected '78 or '79.

Mike Mitchell was a four-time All SEC selection, an All-American and first round draft pick by Cleveland (1978). Mitch spent ten years in the NBA and 10 more years playing in Europe. He set AU records for rebounding, was second in scoring and was also an NBA all-star. Had you ever seen Mitch play for Auburn you wouldn't have made such a silly statement. I think Chuma will get drafted when he declares, but to say he's the 2nd best draft pick ever is not rational. https://www.al.com/sports/2011/06/mike_mitchell_among_greatest_b.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a big year as the centerpiece of an offense can easily throw him into lottery pick status, and even if that doesn't happen, he's still got late first/early second round talent and a year left to negotiate with. The pieces coming back to this team...are ample! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The range of 20th to 30th picks is full of good teams: OKC, GS, Spurs, Milwaukee, Boston, Philly, etc. and there is Brooklyn. lol. Please don’t go to Brooklyn. Ashton Hagans is projected for the first round as well. Don’t think his offense is there yet for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one Adam Harrington is on the coaching staff there. 2. Kenny Atkinson is a awesome coach. Like one of the best in the NBA. Every year he gets the absolute most out of his teams and overachieves. He has got this team 36-34 without 1 blue chip talent on that team besides D Russ who everyone was labeling a bust BEFORE he got to brooklyn. 6th in the NBA in 3 pointers made. I would LOVE for him to go to Brooklyn. It fits Chuma stylistically. They play a lot like how AU does. http://www.espn.com/nba/team/roster/_/name/bkn This is not a good team on paper and yet they are on track to make the playoffs.

I know you're the ultimate homer but Adam Harrington really doesn't mean anything realistically. But I'd rather him play somewhere with a more established structure of winning. But you're right about them seeming to be turning around but I'm not going to stamp anybody off of one year. We don't play chumma in his best position here so I don't agree with fitting him stylistically. For all we know he may be better playing with the ball in his hands more. And with levert being there and they seem to really like him seems like somebody already came in and establishing himself. If it was a pick between them and San Antonio it would be San Antonio easy. I rather go with some vets learn to play and takeover a role as somebody leaves than be on a team with a bunch of young talent trying to find an identity with even more competition essentially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just am a different type of fan for AU basketball as opposed to AU football because I actually BELIEVE in our head coach for this sport!!! WOOO!!! WAR DAMN BRUCE! I just wanted to get that Adam Harrington comment in because it is so cool he is a NBA assistant. It does not get talked about a lot around here. We have differing opinions on what we want to happen to Chuma. I want him to go to the worst team possible so there is a lot of minutes that can go to him and he can play a lot. The better the team the less chance of that happening. I hope he sticks around for another season is a monster next season like we know he will be and goes lottery. WOOO!!! WAR DAMN CHUMA BABY!!!! We have not had a lottery pick in quite some time. I believe in brooklyn and defend them because they are putting the right culture in place. They have a really good player development program. Joe Harris and Spencer Dinwiddie 2 of their best players were second round draft picks and they have really done a great job of bringing them along after they did not do much on other teams before they got to the Nets. And then you have 2 late first round picks who have performed solid for them in Levert and Rondae-Hollis Jefferson. I am very impressed by them. They are not the most talented team but they have a good system in place and bring it almost every night. 2 guys who they traded for on draft night.
