After seeing this, I don't mind at all if the 76ers get the 4th or 5th pick because this guy will be likely available.

Is it just me or can this guy shoot very deep 3s, while at the same time possessing extreme athleticism?

Embiid, Noel, Saric, and Hezonja?

[Eric Cartman]

Could be the next Jan Vesely for all we know, can never be certain in that scrub league.

[Flush]

Poor man's Rudy Fernandez.

That guy has weaker competition than Wilt

[Dr.J4ever]

We're talking EL ball here, not Australian high school ball, which Exum dominated.

Also, it's not the league, even though the EL is a tough and physical league which plays Fiba rules and full blown zones. You also have to see his Gordon Hayward skill set, with Zack Levine freak athleticism, and good size, and length.

I mean, when Lebron was in high school, no one said, it's just high school ball.This is an extreme example, but you get the point.

to clarify:
the highlights of that video are 99% from the ACB, which is the second best national/domestic league in the world (EL is a continental league).

I watch him every week Mario is easily a 3-5 pick (and after the NCAA finals I'd say he's easily top 1-3 talent), thing is though, he's full of himself, and it shows in his game, that might change once he arrives to the NBA though.

turned off the video after that initial clip

this guy is the next Kobe no doubt, uncanny resemblance

Okay thanks for that. I agree about Mario's draft placing. Not many would agree with this but one famous media personality in Philly named Spike Eskin has him no.1 on his big board with Mudiay going second.

I heard he has some defensive issues, but nothing that a tough, demanding NBA coach can't correct.

BTW, they say 76ers GM Sam Hinkie is always in the stands for Super Mario's games.

[Eric Cartman]

Let me get this straight, Lakers getting Mudiay because the Sixers passed up on him for this kid? Sign me up.

[RRR3]

Holy shit he can jump like a goddamn kangaroo

[morbius]

I fear he'll get over-hyped and go somewhere 4-7 in the draft. I think he could really blossom on a team without high expectations from him. His talent is undeniable, but adjustment to NBA is never easy. Could end up being a better Rudy Fernandez, but they also share diva complex, at least for now.

Not exactly. I say Philly goes for Mudiay, if he's still available.

I'm just saying it's unpredictable, and if we end up with this guy, it's all good. We can get our PG later on, and maybe even free agency.

What? You're not satisfied with Ish "The Dish" Smith?

Agreed. I will admit a few of the plays were quite eye popping. I wish more high school players went to Europe at times to see how they handle themselves with former NBA or top European talent.

Unless he's hiding Stocktonesque ability somewhere in that 6' frame, no, 76er fans are still looking for the franchise PG.

To be fair, Ish has been effective, and has made Noel even better than say, an MCW. Ish might stick around next season as a backup PG if he can improve his shooting.
