What is the pick again, top 5 protected?

With the Warriors' luck the last couple of years, Wolves will finish out of the protected range and then win the lottery and end up top 3.

It’s top-3 protected in 2021; if it doesn’t convey in 2021, it becomes an unprotected pick in 2022.

OK, so #4 would be nice.

Keep an eye on the young center from USF....the kid can do more than just run up and down the floor. He’s pretty good.

[Rudruff]

#4 would be nice, but watching a Wolves rep sweat through the 2022 lottery hoping Emoni Bates doesn't go to the Warriors would be fun as well.

[ChuckDurn]

OK, so #4 would be nice.

Something to keep in mind is that with the revised lottery odds, even if the Wolves finish with one of the 3 worst records, they would only keep their pick (i.e. get the #1, #2, or #3 pick) 40% of the time, the other 60% of the time it would convey to the Warriors. And obviously the odds that it conveys to the Warriors goes up for each “better” place the Wolves are in the standings. (Though the quality of the pick itself obviously gets worse.)

Zhaire Williams from Stanford looking hot. He seems like Paul George ish, Cam Reddish ish type. He is 6'8" + and can get any shot he wants. His weaknesses seem to be defense, strength(He is skinny AF), playmaking. But he has really good potential. Probably going to follow the Ingram route

I like him/ Jalen Johnson with minny pick. Gosh I hope wolves are bad enough to get 4-8 pick

Evan Mobley. Evan Mobley. Evan Mobley.

man I wish our #2 was in this class.

Mobley is reminding me of Anthony Davis. Not quite the defensive presence Davis was in college but the iq, passing, and shooting touch. Would love to get Mobley

Ron Harper Jr at Rutgers looks like an NBA talent, 6-6 245 pounds with a long wingspan. Has a nice developing all around game.

Great find!

Very impressive shooter. Quick release....and dare I say his release reminds me of Klay in this video. Really smart player. I like him big time. Going to watch Rutgers just to see him.

Also looks like a guy who will take a big step forward (physically) with NBA training.

Was thinking about that as well. He has a soft body, but plays with strength. He moves guys easily and has an advanced post game. But he plays like a big wing. Hopefully in the NBA he could get his body to more like 235-240 and toned.

I love the way he anticipates, moves, and sets up for shots. He's really skilled and you can tell his dad made sure that shooting was a focus for his training and upbringing.

[The-Power]

Little note of caution regarding his shooting: he's a sub-70% FT shooter for his career.

Who I really want to replace Draymond long-term is Scottie Barnes. Plays like Draymond in a number of ways (with more athletic plays), has that kind of fire as well, and is the type of prospect that shouldn't be categorically out of reach for us because he's not a high-level scorer.

Duke's Jalen Johnson looks good! It is exciting to think that the Warriors might have two FRP's next draft.

Right now I’d say he’s the leader in the clubhouse.

Bruh BJ Boston is soo bad. Like. So many top prospects this year are not actually that good and almost backs my statement that 2022 is better. Like you have many guys shooting less than 20% from 3. Did this guys do anything during the summer or were they always this bad? BJ boston has taken like 11 3s and missed them all. The way he plays like he is still in high school. Never passes and just tunnel visions to the rim. Making Edwards look like a pro

Many of these guys are talented but are just super raw. The 2019 class guys are way higher floor than this class imo. We haven't seen the gleague guys yet so maybe I should reserve judgment a bit

[DAWill1128]

I saw a video the other day where the guy said Mannion is actually supposed to be in next years class but he got reclassified. He was originally in the 2021 class as the #1 ranked player. When he reclassified to 2020 he slid down the rankings which still had him high as the #9 ranked player going into his year at Arizona.

Little detail like that might make the Warriors higher on him.

You don't think it's a little premature to say that? I mean the season just started.

Boston is legit, you can't teach his explosive off dribble, ability to attack and finish, and wiry strong frame/athleticism, i agree he's raw and he's taking bad shots but his talent is pretty absurd

who else is not killing it? Mobley is amazing, Cade/Suggs are killing it, Ziaire looks like a shooter stud in the NBA, Christopher has been beasting, Jalen Johnson looks pretty good, Barnes hasn't played yet and we haven't even seen Green/Kuminga in the G League yet

so yes you def need to reserve judgement for now

[clyde21]

i said this in Mobley thread on the draft board but Mobley should be our #1 target right now, he might go higher than the Minny pick but if he's available take him and run, he's a special talent.
