> Bobi Klintman | 6-9 wing/forward | 20 years old | Cairns Taipans
>It has been a season of ups and downs for Klintman in the NBL. Playing for Cairns as a member of the league’s Next Star development program, Klintman has put up some big games, especially in the first half of the season when Cairns was rolling. However, he missed sporadic time dealing with a few minor injuries over the back half of the season as Cairns fell out of contention.
> Klintman is a 6-9 wing/forward who can knock down shots from the perimeter, having made 35.4 percent from 3 this season and 80 percent from the line. He’s excellent on the break, where he can handle and make nice passes. He’s still learning his own capabilities as he grows into his frame; his feel for the game is still developing after he picked up the sport late in his youth. In total, he averaged 9.7 points and 4.8 rebounds per game this year.
> Most teams expect Klintman to hear his name called in the post-lottery range of the first round, even if his rawness and age make him a bit polarizing for evaluators league-wide. The conversations surrounding him are similar to those involving Rui Hachumira, the Gonzaga product who went No. 9 to the Washington Wizards in the 2019 draft.

Not a bad pick for 15-20 though he’s a bit foul prone for my liking and his decisionmaking…it needs work to function under Darko’s 0.5 offense since he turns the ball over more than he assists
“Picked up the sport late in his youth”
Say no more
As an arm chair GM i’m going to have to pass, thx tho
How so many mock drafts don’t have Yves Missi for us is confusing asf. The guy’s the prototypical Masai centre of the draft (that isn’t Ulrich Chomche) and fulfils our need for more athletic backup centres.
A tale as old as time
