Tyler Zeller - Decent inside and good jump shot. Might block a shot. Above average rebounder. Decent strength. Doesn't do much else.
Festus Ezeli - Good big butt type. Blocks, plays good post defense, and rebounds pretty well. Very good strength. However, has a turnover problem and can't shoot.

Are we getting real life Jeremy Lamb or 2k14 Jeremy Lamb? The most OP 2k player ever, dude was 07 Michael Vick
Boredo
Pretty slow is generous for Sullinger. dude moved like he was wading through silly putty
Fauci is a nerd
After listening to the pod in conjunction with these notes, is Kent Bazemore a top 7 pick? Class is pretty Poopy on the surface
That is certainly a train of thought, I recommend utilizing the scouting function
Very underutilized!

Maaliks Waynes is a classic example of the post Scottie Reynolds pre Ryan Arcidiacano Nova teams which were talented but poopy team chemistry
