morestuff posted:I’ll feel pretty ok if the Hornets can land top three and get one of Flagg, Harper or Edgecombe. Bailey feels like a bust to me and the rest of the high lotto is kind of whatever This is basically what I want for the Pels but with the addition of Khaman if they miss out on the top 3.

RCarr posted:I’ve heard of one of those players listed above! Is this class considered strong? I know nothing about anyone but Randall Flagg the man in black. Strong #1, above average lottery, probably above average non-lottery.

the next draft is supposed to have more superstar-likely talent. i think the depth remains to be seen, though.

El Gallinero Gros posted:I see a lot of mocks having Toronto going after Maluach and I get why but I think I'd prefer to avoid someone who is raw, I think we need someone who is able to contribute immediately. if you want a rookie to contribute immediately, you better you hope you have the #1 pick in any given draft. and even they aren't better contributors than random veteran minimums some of the time. #1 picks can contribute immediately most of the time. #2 and #3 maybe half the time? you are lucky if anyone drafted #4 or later contributes by march of their rookie year.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Fair enough: based on what I've read about Mauluach, he's still fairly new to basketball and those types of players are mixed bags at best. I'd prefer Toronto pursue someone who can shoot, also. For what it's worth, Maluach has been one of the best defensive switch bigs in recent college memory. He also has shown a reliable set shot going back to high school. He has at least average hands and finishes well out of the pick & roll. The reasons he isn't a top flight pick is because his rebounding leaves much to be desired (and he doesn't appear to make up for it with box outs or grabbing contested rebounds) and he hasn't show many on-ball skills. I don't think him being relatively new to the sport is a reason not to grab him. He should become playable at about the same time as everyone else projected around his draft spot.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:Raps need someone who can create their own shot when the team is forced into iso. They don't have enough of that. VJ is not the guy for that. He can capitalize on other people creating an opening but doesn’t really do it himself in the half court.

Mean Baby posted:Realistically I think that is Fears, a lot of people like Tre but I am less sure. Fears is super raw and will probably look like a bust year 1 iirc, Fears is great at getting separation to create a shot. But stinks at actually finishing around the rim.

between 15-20 is probably where he "fits", talent-wise, in this draft.

Rick posted:The Flagg one is impressive because defenses put a lot of energy into keeping him away from the rim. Harper, too, though they probably didn’t focus on that with him to quite the same extent.

morestuff posted:Do the Sixers need more guards? Don't know why they'd take Edgecombe when they have Maxey, McCain and can retain Grimes if they want. If they don't want to gamble on Bailey then I think you get what value you can for the pick, the drop from Edgecombe to picks 4-10 doesn't seem that huge There isn’t much difference at all between 3-10, imo.
