Jordan Mickey will be the Celtic's starting PF by the end of the season. As for Larry Nance, if he turns into anything close to Draymond Green, then that will be awesome.

Stanley Johnson. Ironically, I actually think Jimmy Butler is a great comparison for him.

Quite a few guesses of first round picks in this thread that asks about 2nd round picks. Heat arecpretty high on Josh Richardson and have a pretty good history of drafting 2nd round guards that exceed expectations in Chalmers and Cole (or was Cole end of first round?), but I think Josh has too many players ahead of him to getcthe minutes needed to impress

Portis will be the biggest steal of the draft relative to where he went. He's gonna be a boss

Idk who it'll be but it seems the Lakers are STACKED with players who have the potential to be it this year: Upshaw, Larry Nance JR, Anthony Brown, Michael Frazier, and Jonathan Holmes.

I feel like Mitch thought if he signed all these project players in the draft one of them HAD to pan out lol

I'm not a TrailBlazers fan (Hornets actually) but I think that Pat Connaughton is going to be a very big surprise. He has tons of athleticism and a good jumper. Portland's thin enough that the kid should get some playing time early too.

I don't see him getting much playing time with Gibson, Mirotic, Gasol, and Noah already clogging up the front court. I'd like to see the Bulls move Gibson for a wing and that will open up some playing time for Portis.

Good point w.r.t playing time.

Bobby Portis and Jordan Mickey are my picks, i really liked both of them in the draft.

I agree. I'm saying moving forward from this year as well. I'll miss Gibson but either him or Noah should move this year.

I'd personally lean towards Gibson, because Portis seems like A similar player
