Based off watching a dozen DraftExpress videos I'll be kind of bummed if Malik Beasley or Wade Baldwin don't drop to Charlotte at 22

Are we still at the part of the year where DraftExpress is overrating Euro prospects? Like 10 dudes in the first round seems high

What's Denver going to do? They still have a ton of guys under contract for next year and three first-rounders. I'd love it if Charlotte could trade up to 15 and take Baldwin but that'd be a hard deal to puzzle out

Dejan Bimble posted:He might be there for them. The more I watch of him the less I think. He'd have to be an incredible three point shooter to be a starter. His ceiling is probably backup pg who plays good defense, but he's never played good defense, he just has the body. Having those arms and not being able to make layups makes me think he's flawed as a person, maybe venal, or craven. As long as he's a pretty good shooter and an average defender, he'd be what Charlotte wants. With Lin probably gone, they need a backup point that can play next to Kemba defensively, and the market is pretty bare on those. Plus Charlotte hasn't had a pure craven player since Byron Mullens left

Rick posted:Dejounte Murray might be the PG version of Kawhi. The Celtics need to trade at least one of their picks if they can't stash it, so that might be a grade partner for him, but he might already be gone. Two freshman guys with terrible shot selection don't scream Spurs to me

Dejan Bimble posted:Deyonta Davis's lack of bounce hurts his pnr finishing potential a bit, but he still looks like he could be a real late lottery value He seems to be basing his conclusions on the labels he throws on players years into their careers. It obviously makes sense to hunt down two-way players but the hard part about drafting is figuring out whose skills will translate.

Malik Beasley apparently taking meetings with the Magic. Seems a little high for him but I can also see them trading down, they've got a weird mishmash of players at this point and maybe don't need another project.

Crazy Ted posted:I've always been under the impression that 6'4" with an average wingspan for that height has been the cutoff. Yeah, I always thought of "ideal" size as 6'2, 6'6, 6'9, 6'10, 7'

Quandary posted:I'm a huge Hield homer, bur fwiw saying he had a bunch of mediocre seasons isn't a great critique because he got significantly better each season. It wasn't like his freshman and senior years were good with mediocre middle seasons. Yeah, but the idea is that late bloomers are generally more developed than their peers and some of the advantages they had as an upperclassman will disappear when they get to the pros

Is there any reason people like Patrick McCaw other than his physical specs? I've seen a lot of people pushing him as a good sleeper pick but he looks like a true second-rounder from everything I've read and watched

Here's that annual SI column of anonymous scouts making GBS threads on prospects from 20k feetquote:Wade Baldwin, 6'4" sophomore guard, Vanderbilt: "*Sighs.* He'll get picked because of his size and his length, but he just doesn't have that sense of vision to be a floor general. His numbers show he's a good shooter but he takes a little too much time to get his jumper off. One of the longest guards we've see in a while. The question is, can he lead? What he did at Vanderbilt suggests he can't. I think it's pretty well known there was a disconnect between him and that coaching staff. Who's to blame, I don't know. But you're talking about a freak athlete with size. It wouldn't stun me if he goes in the lottery." quote:Jaylen Brown, 6'7" freshman forward, California: "Biggest mystery in the draft. What does he do? He's an average ballhandler. He's a below average shooter. In AAU and college he played bully ball, but that doesn't translate to the NBA. Little bit of a funky personality. I don't know that anybody really knows what makes that kid tick. His basketball IQ is lacking. Special physical specimen and athlete. The trouble is when you make him go multiple directions. His last month and a half was awful. Makes me really nervous." quote:Marquese Chriss, 6'10" freshman forward, Washington: "I saw this coming at the Pac 12 tournament. You're talking about an above-the-rim athlete, prototypical of the NBA. He's a multidimensional guy. They don't make a lot of 6'10" kids with 40-inch verticals. He didn't always play hard, but he's just a baby. He reminds me of [former LSU forward] Tyrus Thomas. He disappears for long stretches. That's his personality. I don't think he knows he should be a star." quote:Brice Johnson, 6'11" senior forward, North Carolina: "Best rebounder in the draft. Quick off his feet. Best paint finisher in college this year, so I don't see how that guy fails. Didn't block as many shots as you'd think but they needed him to stay on the floor so he couldn't foul. Guys who rebound at that pace, they can do it at the next level. I don't think he always plays hard. I believe he's eventually going to be an NBA three-point shooter because he's got a good stroke. He's got rounded shoulders so he's not going to be able to score in the low post."
