Re: 2020 NBA Draft Prospects: Thread II

I really hope the Hornets fall in love with Wiseman during workouts. Getting one of Ball/Edwards and something extra like Bridges or Washington would be great.

We don't know what Melo, Ant man or Wiseman even look like right now unless we go to their instagrams or someone posts workout highlights on youtube..
When can we start working guys out? Or is Rosas fishing for trades and wants no part of the top 3 prospects?
How much did anyone even hear of these.During the NBA Draft Combine that is being held both virtually and in teams' respective markets, players sat down for videoconference interviews, conducted by team and league officials from late Sept. through mid-Oct.

1. Okoro... gritty defensive wing
2. Avdija ... skilled forward
3. Okungwu ... Traditional PF
4. Toppin ... athletic stretch-4
5. Halliburton ... size and unique court awareness
6. Hayes ... solid all-around both ends of the floor
7. Vassell ... Good length for SG and solid both ends of the floor

If I’m Minnesota I’m reluctant to grab Okoro due to so much overlap between him and Culver. If Culver is traded in more okay with it.
Deni is pretty awesome. I’m okay with him.
Okongwu is more of a C/PF combo. His ideal role is probably center, but he’s more than capable of playing PF.
Toppin is the type of player that is ran off the court in playoff games nowadays. He’s a good player, just not a good fit for the current NBA on defense.
I really like Haliburton. I personally have him as the best point guard after Ball.
Hayes may be a tough sell for Minnesota as a fit with Russell. They’re both very left dominant which could shrink the court.
If I can’t have OO or Deni, I happily take Vassell. Fit wise, he’s probably the best player for Minnesota with the exception of OO.

I don't think either Culver or Vassell can realistically guard 4s, whereas I think Okoro can. So I view Culver and Vassell as more 2/3 guys and Okoro as a 3/4 (who can also cover 2s).

My point is that there are already 4-5 players (luka, young, JJJ,SGA, possible porter jr and Mikal Bridges)
with more trade value than Ayton in that 2018 draft class. I can easily see the same thing happening with Wiseman and this draft class. This league doesn’t value centers as much.

Taking him at 1 is leaving value on the table in the form of a trade down, but if we can't get any offers we like I'd take him there. Ball and Edwards have just as many question marks about them as Terry, and although I think Wiseman has the highest ceiling I don't think he'd hit it here playing behind/alongside KAT.
