Not just saying this as a Jayhawk but Svi could potentially give us some 3 pt shooting that we really need. He needs some work on the defensive end though.

Rodions Kurucs, a highlight on him:

Rodions Kurucs, Position: SF/PF Height: 6'10," Weight: 190 lbs., Current team, Barcelona
Team with Alex Abrines, bill as the Barcelona Brexit...

These guys look amazing on video up against their present competition; however it takes them much longer to become acclimated to the NBA. You'll probably see a much improved Terrance Ferguson this season.

Albert Dadson correctly picked Kevin Hervey, UT-Arlington College #57 pick a week ago. Should see him in the Summer League & OKC Blue G-League development.

Looks like the OKC Blue are going to be improved over last year.

Diallo is a freak of an athlete. That gets said a lot, but he qualifies. 6-6 but almost a 7 foot wingspan and a 44.5 inch vertical. So far has not shown to be a great shooter and he should be better on defense than he was at Kentucky. A few projections had him as a late first rounder. Thunder sees something in him when the spend cash to go get him (while facing an $80 Mill tax bill).

Diallo sort of strikes me as an OG Anunoby type. Not necessarily a good shooter, but has a great body, a nice big chest, and plenty of athleticism to go along with it. Doesn't seem like he would be a good fit for playing with RW, but I guess we'll see how it works out.

All trade fodder.

I'd think a pretty good chance a couple of them will be on the roster....low $ guys going to be needed for the last couple of spots when you are facing the tax bill they are.
