Will not be exactly mad at those selections but I have Darius Garland ahead of those two.

After the 3 first picks, there is not a clear BPA.

If you think about roster contruction makes sense choose Reddish or Hunter.

We have 4 guards (Dennis, Frank, Dotson and Trier), 1 Center (Mitch) and 1 foward (Knox).

We need more fowards at the draft.

DX’s new mock has Brandon Clarke dropping to #14. I think it’s safe to say we won’t be targeting him

They also have Culver at #6 and Cam Reddish at #7. Was not expecting Cam to drop that far but I can’t blame them for putting him that low

look at the “flavor of the week” sneaking into the top 4 :o

Pre-Draft Analysis
Strengths
- Dynamic shooter with deep range and tremendous confidence. Gets into his pull-up jumpers naturally with excellent footwork. Ability to make shots off the dribble and with feet set should allow him to play off the ball as his body continues to develop.
- Handles the ball on a string. Smooth changing speeds in the open court and operating out of pick-and-roll. Has good vision and is a willing passer. Uses both hands to distribute and finish creatively.
- Has strong intangibles. Competitive and intelligent on both ends of the floor.

Improvement areas
- Physical profile is average. Has a lean frame and average length and he's not a freakish athlete to compensate.
- Average tools hamper him at times finishing around the basket in the half court and slowing down older and stronger guards defensively.

TWolves should draft Brandon Clarke if they stay at 10. Nice fit with KAT.

Pelicans would have been a nice landing spot for Reddish if Tatum/Brown or Ingram/Kuzma would not find their way to NOLA in the offseason.

Strengths
- Elite athlete at the point guard position. Gets to wherever he wants on the floor with explosive shiftiness. Can accelerate powerfully while operating at different speeds. Attacks the paint ferociously despite his narrow frame. Playmaker defensively who shows toughness and outstanding instincts as a rebounder.
- Excellent ball-handler with superb creativity as a passer and finisher. Naturally unselfish facilitator who finds a nice blend between passing and scoring. Making a high volume of 3-pointers on the season and is an 80 percent free throw shooter.
- Late-bloomer who appears to have significant room for growth. The youngest sophomore in our Top 100, younger than a handful of freshmen projected to be drafted.

Improvement areas
- Has solid height but is extremely thin. Frame is very narrow and may always be on the skinny side. Does not appear to have great length. Struggles to finish around the basket at times. May have some issues early in his career dealing with the physicality of the NBA game.
- Plays with a casual demeanor on both ends of the floor.
Somewhat careless or wild with the ball at times. Turning the ball over at a very high rate. Doesn't always demonstrate enough urgency defensively.
- Jumper has been streaky throughout his career. Made just 29 percent of his attempts as a freshman. Shoots with a low release.


why i never got the RWB comparisons with Ja

With those picks I’d take cam or hunter too

It’s the clear choice at this time. That could dramatically change with workouts. Someone always rises

I'd be happy with Hunter for sure and replace Reddish with Garland and i'm happy with either at 4 or 5.
