Is this where we think they will get picked, or how good we think they'll be?

1. Jabari
2. Chet
3. Banchero
4. Murray
5. Ivey
6. Sharpe
7. Davis
8. Mathurin
9. Duren
10. Griffin

Guys I Like.... I think Jabari is going to be the best player in the draft, but if you give it 5 years I think Duren ends up being the steal for where he is picked possibly a few time all-star, or at least just a really solid starting center like a Robert Williams III big impact on the boards and defensively.

I'm fine with Ivey or Murray.

Chet is the one guy I have a hard time getting a read on as far as how he will translate to the NBA I'm just not sure. His college defense stats were dominant but not sure if he translates. If nothing else he'll be a Tayshaun Prince like player in that he's able to hit 3s that people can't easily defense because of his height, and he's able to sneakily block some shots and make it hard to shoot over because of his height. If he puts together better lateral quickness he could be really hard to drive on simply because you can't get clear shots up over those long arms. He could be anywhere from great to bust I'm just not sure.

Top 10 (how good I think they'll be):
1. Paolo Banchero
2. Mathurin
3. Daniels
4. Murray
5. Ivey
6. Chet
7. Jabari
8. Davis
9. Duren
10. Dieng



Dream Scenario: Banchero drops to 5 and we take him due to Sharpe and Ivey or Murray going in the top four. We trade Grant for 7 and get Mathurin.

Personally I see Chet as more of a PF or even SF. I do not see him as a center. A help Defender for the center. I do like Mathurin.

However, There are tons of guards I like in this draft. Well a few anyways, We would save money drafting a center or potential pf in murray. Trade back into the draft for a couple additional picks. I'd consider KO/Grant to the Hornets for both their picks. I think teens is about what we can expect for Grant and/or KO. 20 something best cast for KO.

If the big board represents how good they will be in the future, then:


1. Banchero
2. Holmgren
3. Smith
4. Sharp
5. Mathurin
6. Murray
7. Davis
8. Ivey
9. Daniels
10. Washington

Dream scenario: Holmgren falls to 5, and we trade Grant and get Sharp or Mathurin
Nightmare: We trade Grant to move up to 4 for Ivey.

Love: Mathurin, Davis, Sharp, Banchero
Don't love: Ivey, Duren

I'm happy with Mathurin, Murray

Basically this list for me, except I like Chet and hope he doesn't gain like 50-75lbs just because he gets flack for being a skinny guy. If he wants to prolong his career, he'll stay below those weight gains for the sake of his lower extremities health

Just wanted to see what you would say

1. Jabari Smith - rich man’s Rashard Lewis. Multi time all star

2. Sharpe - he’s the perfect 2 in todays league with some risk. #1 class players rarely bust.

3. Mathurin - I think he’s so underrated. Still young and maybe he takes a Donovan Mitchell type leap as a ball handler.

4. Banchero - Detroit Blake, probably an all star down the line

5. Duren - the league undervalues elite rim runners these days. I think he’s a rich man’s Robert Williams which is an all star.

6. Jaden Ivey - I’m wary of his shot and I’m not sold he’s the Ja athlete scouts say. Regardless at the least he’s a role player.

7. Dyson Daniels - he reminds me of a poor man’s Cade which is an above average starter

8. Keegan Murray - TJ Warren, which I would not be thrilled for with a Top 5 pick

9. Jeremy Sochan - Can defend all positions and maybe he’s Draymond

10. Chet - I don’t see anything more than a specialist.

Dream: draft Sharp and trade up to get Duren.
