This video's 12 minutes long unlike most of RDCWorld's skits.

Clippers GM leaving. Bob likely headed to LAC (imo, nothing official).

Only kris murray really intrigues me tbh and ino what this team needs more then anything is scoring, we could barely score against the goddam kings defense in the playoffs

#THIRTEEN, but please stash and don't burn a roster spot - the highlights mostly show BC making a lot of wide open or lightly contested shots, a few badly defended crossovers, etc. Not enough to judge, but I could easily see his dribble being picked and a lot of those shots swatted against quicker, longer defense - nothing there to make me go "Wow, what a prospect!" yet.

If we get Coulibaly, next year's team will be the "Oui Believe" team.

Jackson was 17 when he started his Freshman year. To me, his one on one interviews show a rather thoughtful kid who dealt with high expectations. I I see a lot of JK in him. I don't see the Dubs as a good fit, but I could see him developing into a solid NBA player down the road. I may be missing some of the red flags that others see (0.8 assists ugh) but I think he is deserving of consideration at this slot. With that said, I'll take the 7'2" wingspan.

Agreed with several of the comments ahead of me: Coulibaly seems much more in line with what the Dubs typically look for: BBIQ, fundamentals, attitude, wingspan. Other things can come along afterwards. But that also makes it seem like he'll go before we get a chance to draft him.

Honestly the G.G. Jackson account report has so many negative/red flag comments in it, I wonder how he's so high. Is there more than meets the eye going on here?

Jackson did himself no favors by going to SC, which is a dumpster fire on the Titanic, going over Niagara Falls.

#THIRTEEN

There's an emerging trend here, with the lower seeds offering a lot more of what most of us here would be looking for in a draft pick. (The exception, at least from my point of view, was Hawkins v. Jackson-Davis, but even that one was close and maybe a bit of a seeding fluke—I think they're my two favorite prospects so far.) Anyway, this could bode well if the W's plan to keep the pick, since it suggests their priorities might run somewhat counter to league-wide consensus (*if* they're thinking along the same lines we are).

#THIRTEEN easy one. Coulibaly has the wing span that our scouts love. As with prior drafts, I’m prioritizing defense. This guy could be Wiggins replacement some day (4 years from now). Great potential. The other dude Jackson is way too much of a risk. Headcase. No defensive effort. Yuck. Avoid. All that said, I doubt we will have a chance to draft Coulibaly, some other team will snatch him up.

The young guys in this range are like throwing a dart with a blindfold on. They all have tools, but who's got the maturity to develop on any team let alone a vet team?

The big bodied wing with a huge wingspan is an easy get over the slim forward who can shoot a little.

How does GSW go about getting unrestricted free agent Jerami Grant?

Jackson sounds like the beginning of a third timeline which won't see any time on court until the post-Kerr era.

Bilal might be the only player in the NBA next year who has experience guarding our future WC nemesis Wemby in practice.

#thirteen mostly due to the repeated concerns about attitude for Jackson. Jackson may go to a different team and turn out to be a better player, but it’s hard to imagine him flourishing in a win-now environment with limited opportunities.

If they choose coulibaly I hope they draft and stash so that he’s a bit more ready to contribute when he does come over.

Le treizieme, s’il vous plait!

Coulibaly looks like he could be magnifique in a few years. Long-limbed wing at 19 that can be stashed seems like great value pick.
