Klay's primary attribute is that he can shoot. Not sure he is anything special defensively

joe table wrote:Archie Goodwin is probably the most intriguing plausible target for me. 18 years old, 6'4 with a 6'10 wingspan, great athlete. Inconsistent but still productive on a pretty dysfunctional KY team. Should have potential to guard both 1s and 2s, and seems to have more upside in terms of age/tools than most of the other guys we'd be looking at. Pair him with Jrue and you have a pretty intriguing two-way backcourt



Hasn't helped himself at the combine.

Chad Ford:

May 15 Update: Everyone still wants to love Goodwin, but every time they go to the tape it's brutal. Goodwin is going to show well athletically, but what he really has to prove is that he's in the process of fixing a very broken jump shot.


It's pretty hard to hurt your stock in a camp like this. But there was some negativity around the poor shooting performances by Archie Goodwin, B.J. Young and Vander Blue. All three players really struggled to look the part of "shooting" guards in the drills Thursday.

Ok. Didn't know if they had gone through the athletic drills yet. But if the idea is that they knew he had bad shooting mechanics from watching games and then he showed those bad shooting mechanics in drills, doesn't really seem too bad. He was one of the youngest players in the entire NCAA last year and still put up pretty decent numbers (including one of the top rates of drawing fouls per possession among guards)

Well it ain't good! "We thought you sucked and you've proven you do suck. At least you're consistent."

Please. No more drafting SG's who have to learn how to shoot.

Goodwin 44% FG, 27% 3 PT as a freshman

Caldwell-Pope 40% FG, 30% 3 PT as a freshman

FWIW I'm interested in Caldwell-Pope as well (who also has a good wingspan)

One stayed in school, refined his shooting, has wowed everyone at the combine and is now the 3rd ranked SG on the board. The other is turning pro after his freshman year with a broken jump shot, fell flat on his face at the combine and is the 9th ranked SG on the board. Goodwin may get it together and would probably make a good late first round flier. To draft the 9th ranked SG with the 11th pick would be crazy.

wherein Bob Cooney makes up quotes:

http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/six ... sions.html

They probably weren't the main topic of conversation during the NBA predraft combine last week in the Windy City, but the 76ers' situation certainly was at the forefront of a lot of talk. With the hiring of Sam Hinkie as president of basketball operations and general manager, more questions seemed to have come about than answers.

"Who is making the basketball decisions right now?" asked one league executive.

When told it was Hinkie, known for his analytics expertise, he replied: "Don't they have a basketball guy helping out in some ways?"

I mean really

do these unnamed league executives just ask questions of the ether
