ORUalum Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Daum will be back at SDSU next season. He missed his opportunity last year to come out early when he was much more likely to be drafted. Take out the foreigners and college seniors that will be drafted and you got what, maybe 35 - 40 slots for underclassmen??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cornelius Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I have to agree that Daum will be back at SDSU (unless a P5 school makes compelling pitch to him). He almost HAS to enter the draft to get feedback going into next season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUParentLurker Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Disagree that he'll for sure be back at SDSU. If the draft analysis comes back saying they question the level of competition then he should decide to transfer to a P5. One more year in the Summit won't change his eval.

ORUALUMNUS99 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Personally I think Daum should stay at SDSU his biggest challenges going forward will not be solved by going P5. He can't jump over a South Dakota phonebook and he does not have the lateral quickness to even guard Summit league small ball power forwards. If he goes power 5 he goes from being an all American to maybe a second or third team all conference stretch 4. Granted I could be wrong and if he ends up giving a school like Wisoncsin 16 and 8 for his senior season he would boost his stock tremendously probably into the late 1st round.

theeagleman5 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Daum is a really good Summit player but looks slow and plodding in the NBA...TheEagleman would be very surprised if the guy is more than a mid-late 2nd round pick.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 now up to 190 declared (at least 60 w/agents).........Daum is not even listed in the top 100 prospects he'll be back and pursue 3,000 pts and cement his legacy at SDSU and in the Summit League Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUParentLurker Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Daum is slow. But he's pretty big and has freakishly long arms. He could at least be serviceable as an inside defender. Then on offense he's a match up problem with his range. Honestly, the thing that would worry me the most is his body type. His legs look way to skinny. I'd be afraid of him becoming injury prone. But that's all the more reason for him to go pro now and not spend another year getting older in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Which is why a year at a P5 school starting over with new coaches, teammates and a new system does not make sense. Is it going to get him on a better team in Europe? Nope. His options are start his career in Europe now or finish what he started at SDSU and try to win a game or two in the NCAA tournament next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUALUMNUS99 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 His defense is the main reason he won't get into the NBA now. Like you guys have said he is a big body and has extremely long arms, but for some reason Daum does not have a defensive position that he can guard even at an average level. Talented big men even in the Summit league give him problems and he is not fast enough to guard the "small ball" four men that are so prominent in today's basketball. I put small ball in quotes because often times these 4's are still 6'7'' to 6'9" at the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUParentLurker Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 See I think his defense was poor partially because he tried very hard to stay out of foul trouble. I don't think he is as bad as he looked. The guy can shoot 40+ percentage from NBA range. If I was a betting man I'd wager he finds a spot as long there are no injuries.

ORUJason Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 If you are a big man with slow feet, you won’t stand a chance in the D League, and will never sniff the NBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy will shoot you out of the gym, but his inability to compete on the defensive end would make him a liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
