same

but none of them will be on the board by 20 is my guess. Maxey is the most likely as of right now but my guess is that he pops in virtual workouts and interviews.

Malachi Flynn looks like a guy who would be great if we ran any pick and roll at all.

I would not be too upset if they took him at 21

What's keeping Grant Riller from being a first round pick? Just his age?

Yea don't expect any of them to fall, especially with Miami 1 spot above us with an aging Dragic at point.

Possibly Bane or Green

Guys like Stanley, Hampton, Bey are wildcards

And then the plethora of guards for at least 2 of our seconds. I wouldn't mind Immanuel Quickley at 34 as a specialist, could see him being much higher valued on teams boards actually. The mock drafters are usually behind the trend

just as long as he doesn't stop by China for some window shopping.

I'd want them to trade 21 and all the 2nds for RJ Hampton

I’d be ok with that. And go the “nuggets route”. Possibly using RJ as an asset to pair with Al or Tobi for a talent upgrade.

But given our status, it’s more likely that we’d trade it for a more proven player. Like a Schroeder or Reggie Jackson type player.

Lamelo more likely be in europe, if ever he gets out of the NBA.

I’d rather have Dunn or MCW than Lamelo. At this point of time

Yup. I think he’d be drafted way higher than what he’s projected to be. Maybe even ahead of us

Tre Jones (everything)
Skylar Mays (everything)
Josh Green (defense and assisted shotmaking)
LeAndro Bolmaro (defense and size on the wing)

I don't really want an offensive bench piece with that pick. We need more guys that can defend their position in a playoff game so we don't have to take them off the floor in crunchtime of a close game.

I like everyone you mentioned, except for Green.

Bolmoro BTW.. looks like a very skilled and entertaining player

I just love Green's size and physicality as a defender. And his jumper is very projectable, to me. I could easily see him shooting 36-38% from three in due time. To me, he's the perfect championship level 4th or 5th starter. Not too unlike Danny Green. Just not as consistent a shooter.

Kobblehead · Post #1051 » by **Kobblehead** » Sat Oct 24, 2020 5:59 pm

Bolmaro is a way better prospect than Deni Avidja IMO. I don't know how Deni is projected to go top 3 and LeAndro is sitting at the end of the 1st round.

Lol.

I was just about to ask you about Avdija. GSW is reported to be interested in drafting him.

Avidija is longer and is more athletic. He is also more skilled.

I project Bolmoro as a guy who will have a hard time adjusting to NBA athlete and speed.

Right now I have Avdija and Killian Hayes as my top 2 then Wiseman as 3rd overall.

I think the bigger question is.. why is Lamelo ball ahead of Bolmaro..

Kobblehead · Post #1053 » by **Kobblehead** » Sat Oct 24, 2020 7:45 pm

I don't understand what Avidija is bringing to the table to go that high.

Are teams thinking they can run their offense through him as a scorer?

In terms of a role-playing skillset, he can't guard anyone or shoot. So he's really only a help-defender, at best, that doesn't space the floor on the offensive end.

I just don't get his appeal as a prospect other than his physical attributes.

Kobblehead · Post #1054 » by **Kobblehead** » Sat Oct 24, 2020 7:45 pm

I'm surprised you like Wiseman. You were pretty early on the "bigs have no real value" train so it surprises me that you value a bucket-getting big that can't defend in space like Wiseman.

The game is getting so much slower and less athletic, though.

I think Bolmoro is a stud defender from day 1. He'll be like Rudy Fernandez without the jumper.

I think this is the perfect team for Markus Howard. I'd definitely rate Maxey higher and if he's available at 21 they should jump on that, but for all the issues Ben Simmons brings from a roster-building standpoint, one plus should be that he can allow the player who's guarding 1s to be a little bit less of a playmaker and defender. It's not like any of these players figure to be plus defenders in the NBA, they're all closer to being combo guards than point guards in terms of passing ability, and Howard (who's only a year and a half older than Terry) is at another level as a shooter, especially off the ball.

Mike Conley 2.0.

75% of his field goal attempts are three point shots.

He does nothing offensively other than stand behind the arc and jack up threes. No passing, no dribbling, etc.

I just don't like prospects like that. He's like a smaller, skinner Duncan Robinson.
