April 18 Update: Adetokunbo is a bit of a mystery man. A long, athletic point forward playing in the fourth division in Greece. While no one knows what he'll be like playing against top competition and warn that he's a year or two away from even being ready for the D-League, they see the skill set and size and fell like in a draft filled with little upside, he might be worth taking a gamble on.

Feb 12 Update: Scouts are flocking to Greece to see Adetokunbo and no one is exactly sure what to make of him. He looks great in a workout. He is skilled, especially as a ball handler and passer, and has great size and length for his position. However, he is doing it against incredibly weak competition (one scout compared it to NCAA D-3) and it's unclear how he'll translate against players who have NBA potential. He also has a number of visa issues which complicate the matter.


~ Chad Ford, who rates him at #35.

I like this one

I also like that we can sign his brother to ride the bench, as we're wont to do

Draftexpress, a much more reputable website than nbadraft.net, has him around 25 right now. We should trade our second this year and next year to get up and get em.

In the early stages of the Sixers' coaching search, two names have risen to the top of the list, sources say: Mike Brown and Brian Shaw.

I'd prefer if he were the Nigerian Slam Artist, assuming he's a Sixers, of course.
