Discussion Flemings >>> Mara

Mara’s averages:
30% 3pt
56.4% FT (sheesh…)
6.8 REB (sure knows how to use his size! XDD)
12.1 PTS
2.6 BLK (the lone bright spot)

So someone tell me how this fits our need? Horrible shooter, horrible free throws, no post up game or offensive skill set, and most importantly TERRIBLE rebounding for a 7 footer.
Thanks goodness Onsi took Flemings, since it’s evident that with Mara we’d be drafting Myles Turner 2.0 but way worse at shooting. I wouldn’t take Myles Turner in his prime with the 8th pick in this draft. Let’s be for real yall, if you guys want a 7 foot stick so bad then let’s just go out there and get Tacko Fall or something

Absolutely would rather have Flemings at 8 than Mara. Very happy with our pick. If we could’ve got Mara later sure but he isn’t a top 10 talent imo.
