Now Im trying not to skip to the weaknesses of players and just watch their clips, so Im trying not to just focus on Moses Moody struggled from the paint, but Giddey's jumper is just too blatant for me to ignore. Form wise its better than Lonzo Ball and MKG, but I think you get my point.
Sengun is ok. The only thing that worries me is that this draft does not have alot of long wingspans . I know there is alot of NA and false metrics out there (Franz Wagner comes to mind), but Sengun doesnt look to have a long span, and thats what the team likes, especially for interior players. They are likely to look at someone like Isaiah Jackson at 14, IMO.
Thoughts?
Im fine with Springer. You dont think he is a clone of Poole?
Sure, I understand your points.
Giddey's jumper is not good, it's his main weakness, but bear in mind he improved a lot during this season. Try to find some monthly splits on this stat, you'd be real surprised. I wish I could find it to pass this info to you, I've looked on the draft board but couldn't find it, but I'm sure it's there in some page.
What I don't like about Moody is his ballhandling, passing and playmaking. I don't know, he just seems too stiff for me, but I'm being honest in saying I didn't study much about this player. I just think that, in the NBA, he will play a lot in the perimeter, and these traits will get exposed a lot in the beginning of his career.
Sengun's wingspan is not good, but he's just too productive at this point. Check his stats:
19/9/2 + 1,3 steals + 1,7 blocks
65% FG
81% FT
... in just 28 mpg.
To me, this shows he's clearly a step above his competition level. He's dominating in the league he's currently.
That, coupled with the fact he's only 18/19, is a huge "green flag" in projecting an awesome development curve for the future.
I don't know about Isaiah Jackson, but I'd say, at the moment, there are clearly 20 better players than him in my hypothetic big board.
About Springer, I think he's hugely underrated for now. I'm quite sure he will rise in the next few months leading up to the draft. Springer is just a Suggs/Brandon Roy light type of player. Poole's just a streaky scorer, whereas Springer is a very good defender who can playmake, handle and pass too.
