Tier 1
1. Chet - two way, high iq talent, will add wins to the win column, more skilled Jarret Allen/slower Evan Mobley . Gonzaga runs a motion offense, and featured Drew Timme at center. In NBA spacing, pick & roll, pick & pop action, Chet will be very hard to guard.
2. Jabari - elite jumpshot weapon for Cade, good perimeter defender, high energy, forward, positive A/TO, MPJ w/defense
3. Shaedon - See Ivey statement below, Cade needs a co-star 2 guard... Shaedon is bigger.
Tier 2
4. Ivey - Cade needs help creating offense and easy buckets, combo 2. You don't want to be in a position where Cade gets injured and your team is done. Or he gets face guarded or fatigued, and the offense cant score for a whole quarter.
5. Bennedict Mathurin - elite role playing 2, immediately makes the starting lineup better, can also feed off Killian as a 2.
6. Banchero - love his offense but a 4 that is weak defensively is the worst kind of tweener to have in the playoffs. Too talented to pass up past 6, maybe play as a small ball center?
7. Keegan Murray - hustle/stretch 4 that can replace Grant if needed
If we pick anyone from Tier 2 when anyone from Tier 1 is available, I will be very disappointed. But if we get down into Tier 2 I slighy prefer the shooting guards, but will hope for the best picks from Troy.
You need 2-way wings, 2-way shooting bigs, and you can't allow low iq players on the court. Assist/turnover ratio is crucial. Shooting point guards are icing on the cake IF they are plus defenders.
Weaver & Casey, govern yourselves accordingly!
