2020 Draft Thread, Part 2

ShayDee · Post #361 » by **ShayDee** » Tue Sep 29, 2020 6:02 pm

I've come around to the team taking Deni although I still believe Wiseman is the BPA in this draft but In addition to Deni I still want Bane. Use our own 21 pick if necessary, maybe Minny at 17 or BRK at 19. Absorb Taurean Prince contract if it means we getting the pick. I hope Bob sees this

Whoever has Bob's number please call him and relay the info. Bane will be huge for us next year especially and down the road when Klay/Curry ages

From top 80 Prospects

3pt shooting(Overral): Bane, Markus Howard
3pt shooting(Movement): Nesmith

perimeter defense(Guard/Combo Guard): Ty-Shon Alexander, Malachi Flynn, Trevelin Queen
perimeter defense(Wing): Vassell/Okoro(I don't trust Okoro that well, His heigh and Wingspan might betray him against pros)
perimeter defense(Big "C or Small ball C"): Paul Reed, Precious

Rim protector: Wiseman, Jalen Smith

Size for his position: Ball

Most versatile: Advija, Pokusevski

Rebounder for his position: Nate Hinton

Highest basketball IQ: Terry, Bane

Most competitive: Okoro, Deni, Vassell, Bane, Ty-Shon, Reed, Tre Jones, Payton Pritchard, Oturu (There are so many guys here, can't name em all)

Least competitive: Edwards, Ball sometimes, Wiseman(before College he used to coast, might be different now)

Best playmaker(Guard): Ball, Winston, Hayes
Best playmaker(Wing): Deni
Best playmaker(Big): Tillman, Reggie Perry, Poku

Quickest: Kira Lewis

Highest upside: Wiseman, Edwards, Ball, Okoro(If shooting comes), Poku(so many things click), Jahm'ius Ramsey, Jaden McDaniels

True Leader: Winston, Tre Jones

Most Overrated: Edwards, Deni(In terms of his upside, properly rated floor), Okoro(he doesn't deserve to go as high as mocked), Patrick Willaims(If anyone drafts him to defend perimeter they will be highly disappointed), Saddiq Bey(same as Williams), Okongwu(not as good as people think)

Most underrated: Wiseman, Bane, Nesmith(Will shock people how good he is), Jahm'ius Ramsey(really good shooter of catch/pull up, where he is mocked is insane given he is one of the youngest in this draft with good athleticism and shooting)

most overrated? James Wiseman - Took money under the table, quit on his team instead of paying money back, has stats like Damian Jones in college, but Jones did better except FT% and FG%, Tough to compare stats when all you have is 3 games

most underrated? Lamelo Ball - Next Luka Doncic, Warriors should keep him to see how he fits

Tyrese Haliburton says he's talked to three teams: Warriors, Knicks and Pistons.

He seems confident he'll talk with the Timberwolves at some point, too.

He can't defend 3s/4s yet though, and I have questions about his shot creating ability is far behind, idk man

Tyrese Haliburton said the Warriors could see him filling a role similar to the one Shaun Livingston once filled.

Deni Avdija on potential fit with the Warriors: “I think this team is a great team with a lot of great guys, a lot of good All-Star players who I can learn from. … For me, I just want to develop myself to be in the best possible place for me.”

What's up with the top 10 draftees either not attending or cutting it short? I get the pandemic, racial injustice and all, but I think nowadays, these talents will be drafted somewhere between 1-14 (unless scouts are really tagging them for real areas of weaknesses, thus making them hustle to make themselves look good), don't really care where they land, and are all about the money/status. if they're talented enough, they'll be lucky to extend their playing careers beyond their rookie contracts.

The more I watch Devin Vassell's games, the more I believe he can become a star wing player (aka Kawhi Leonard) for us for the future. At 19, he can still make an immediate impact as a 3 & D player right now. He's athletic, a hound on defense due to his high defensive IQ/awareness, and shoots high arcing 3s (41% of 3FG%). Not a knock to Wiggins, but if he makes strides with us, I'll give props where props are due.

Next level for him is to be able to tighten his ball-handling and play-making/decision-making, put on some weight to absorb contact better, and develop his all-around offensive game. If he gets this all down in 2-4 years, our next dynasty can begin with him.

I think in a draft like this where there's so little consensus the agents advice is to put the onus on the teams to make a decision with the least info possible. Ball is already considered likely to be drafted top-3, he doesn't really have much to gain by working out or interviewing.

It's a common agent ploy. They prefer to make teams rely on the "consensus" than find out their clients weaknesses.

If this guy was better at offense, He would have been the pick, can rebound as well as defend both Bron and AD and super athletic, can play 3 positions?(SF/PF/C), He could have a better carrier path than Jerami Grant

Do you see how many problems the undersized 6'9'' Adebayo is having with AD?

James Wiseman tweets, 'F*сk Amеrica Bro I'm Moving to Hawaii.' The tweet is supposed to be about him "moving to Hawaii" to get out of the United States if Donald Trump wins a second term.

Um... it may as well been Wiseman.

That's Hassan Whiteside, not James Wiseman.
