1.Ty Jerome
2.Chuma Okeke
3.PJ Washington
4.DeAndre Hunter
5.Darius Garland

Any guesses on my priorities?

Do these player fit what we need?

The short? Do I see the correct dents that need filling?

3 point shooting, feel for the game and switchable defense?
Damn.

After watching more of/reading more of Bruno Fernando, I think he's become pretty easily my top guy at #30 if he's still available.

I'm not really high on centers but he's at least someone I could see work. I think he'll develope a jumper.

Yeah, I think his jumpshot is very projectable. Can finish around the rim with both hands. Strong dude, seems to play hard. Has the physical tools to become a defender though he seems a bit of a mess right now. Different body type and not the same freakish leaper, but in terms of skillset and projection, he reminds me a bit of John Collins who I also loved when he was coming out of Wake.

Okay I think I'm settled now. I want Jordan Poole. Maybe at #30, maybe in the second round or maybe as an UDFA but I want him.

Atlanta Hawks

Sources said North Carolina forward Nassir Little’s draft range likely begins with the Hawks at No. 8, but the Bulls (No. 7) are expressing an increased interest in trying to bring Little in for a workout ahead of Thursday’s draft. There had been questions about Little’s 3-point shooting in his freshman season at UNC, where Little shot 26.9 percent on under two attempts per game. But several lottery teams said that Little squashed any concerns during his shooting in pre-draft workouts.

Also, confirms my love for Chuma Okeke.

Take that site with a grain of salt. No matter what you enter you can't get Herro cause apparently he's a 3 point specialist and nothing else. And Chuma is good at everything. And PJ is a switchable rim protector with great 3 point shooting and what not. Again it's lighthearted fun.

Herro is going to be a problem when he gets stronger.

My guy Vanja Marinkovic is making his way to the draft from Belgrade, a pretty solid indication he believes he’ll be drafted. Marinkovic has been completely unheralded on every draft board with the sole exception of Matt Babcock, who’s very well plugged into Balkan hoops. Babcock is Miroslav Radjulica’s former agent. Marinkovic is rumored to be a target of Olympiacos and is an ideal draft and stash guy.

Reminder - all draftaholics are invited to participate in the RealGM draft contest held in the NBA Draft forum viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1851030. You can choose to do just the lottery picks or the entire 1st round. Scoring is 4 points for every correct pick, 2 points if you're 1 off, and 1 point if you're 2 off. Just post your picks there to participate, and you can edit them up until 1 hour before the draft. Enjoy!
