2020 NBA Draft Prospects: Thread II

[KGdaBom]

I dont see falling that low

He was expected to go about 25- 30 before this report of him gaining 20 pounds. Could he go sooner? Sure he could. Will he go sooner? Very doubtful. Teams that are always trading away their assets to move up for some player because he might go sooner are most likely making a mistake.

There are a few of factors. First, he is an elite shooter. Some say he is the best shooter of 2020 draft. Shooters after these playoffs will be paid. A lot. Second, strength was the most glaring issue with him, the work he put in offseason speaks about him as hard worker, self-disciplined, mature person. Third, as I said he is high IQ player.

All that stuff is nice. Nesmith is the best shooter in the draft and much bigger. Odds are we can get somebody just as good or better.

Yes, Nesmith is at the tier as Terry as shooter. However, what I like about Terry is his potential as ballhandler and passer/decision maker. These two factors combined with high IQ can make him a lot better.

If it's a choice between Nesmith and Terry I'm going Nesmith. If neither is available I'm going next man up.

Malik Beasley's arrest definitely increases the chances of Anthony Edwards being our #1 pick.

Like that Lamelo wants to compete.

Edwards was afraid to go get measured and be 6’3.

I have pretty much accepted Edwards will be the pick and he is growing on me.

Right, because teams do not perform their own measurements when a prospect comes in...

To me Edwards passes eye test and looks legit 6’4-6’5.
beal is just 6’3.

I'm more surprised the likes of Okongwu, Nesmith, Vassell and Williams are not on the list.

Edwards is 6’3, without shoes.

Nba.com lists him at that height.

The average basketball shoe adds 1.5" to a player's height. Do you have an issue with a 6'5" SG, especially when you factor in his weight?

No. My preference is 6’6. Bias from MJ and Kobe

I still want the Wolves to take Lamelo over Edwards.

I saw Terry here in Minneapolis in high school and he was phenominal for all the reasons minimus mentioned above. Terry has a far higher upside over Nesmith from what I've seen. That said, Terry is so slight and maybe not as pro ready as Nesmith but no doubt in my mind Terry will be a great back-up PG. Nesmith has the size and athletic ability all over Terry but Terry has better overall skill.

Is one inch is a deal breaker? Because neither Jordan or Kobe had the mass of Edwards.

EDIT: For personal reasons, it would have been nice to see his wingspan, etc.

No, the deal breaker for me is low iq; low effort from Edwards.

Already went through Wiggins, trying to root for him to change after 6 years. Don’t want to go through it again.

Understandable

For me, I'd rather not go through the Rubio era again in a league that requires a scoring PG.

Yeah thinking about it, I’d rather take chances with Ty Terry as the future pg. Terry will be defensive liability like Ball and not as good rebounding but way better shooter.

Lamelo avg 17/7/7 though and won the rookies of the year in the NBL.

He’s a much better scorer than Ricky was at this point.

Mostly false narrative. You have no idea of his bball iq. He did have low effort moments but they were just moments. Wiggins slept through his entire career. Not a fair comparison.
