2020 NBA Draft Prospect Watch - Revised Poll

[cberry78]

Cam was a reach last year and that turned out ok, if the FO is ok "reaching" for Bane at 10, I'm ok with it.

[Revived]

^^^ I agree with this. I'll only be upset about who we come out of this draft with if we leave someone like Toppin or Halliburton still available. Those 2 are the best fits for the Suns (imo) and I think Toppin would easily ROY on the Suns. As long as we don't pass on either of them, I'm OK with whoever we get.

I like Toppin a lot too and I agree he’d be a plug and play fit here. No chance he falls to #10 though. Would be nice if we had something to maybe move up for him if he falls to like 6 or later. But we don’t really have anything to give.

If he slides to 10 I'd personally take him because I think he's a top talent.

They probably take someone like Vassell, Bey, or Bane.

But my out of no where if Jones shocks us tonight prediction is RJ Hampton.

He's a great athlete who's supposedly has improved his J since last season. I've listened to him on a couple interviews and I've been very impressed with his attitude and maturity, seems like the type of person Jones and crew would like. Added wild card Jones former teammate Mike Miller has been personally working with RJ so Jones should have a good feel for him. Would be a big swing type pick but if you don't feel like you'll be picking high in the near future and also plan to sign vets for immediate help taking a high upside combo guard could make some sense.

IF at 10 - would like Toppin - don't see him being there. So the best player - not a project though. I want them to have some skills.

I think the Suns will trade back. I know I bring up Tucker but maybe not Tucker - just a trade back and another veteran type player. I can see Frank and possibly Diallo or Okobo a part of the deal.

Same here, he also has a skill set that we could use.

From what I've seen there's no chance Obi gets past NY and they might be trying to jump Cleveland to make sure they get him.

I have some concerns with him but I absolutely love his fit in NY. Thibs would be good for him and I think hes the type that has to be a top offensive option on a team to get the best value out of him and NY is a place where he can be that. I also think Robinson could be a good fit next to him.

I see Bulls offering Wendell Carter and #4 for #2. If I was GS I'd pounce on that. Take a guy like Haliburton, Toppin or Vassell at 4 with Carter at C. Unless they REALLY like Wiseman, and Minnesota doesn't take him, you do that in a heartbeat. I know Carter hasn't lived up to expectations yet, but had a great skill set coming out, has been injured a bit, and I think with a good system like GS, with floor spreaders, and not Boylen as a coach, he'd probably be a lot better and more ready than Wiseman, who was out most all his fresman year.

The Celtics are competing now, they want a Top #3 pick to trade it in a package for Harden, Beal or another big name.

Not for me...please not another C in today's NBA. At least Ayton can switch.

Okongwu is big, strictly a C into today's NBA, a great shot blocker, and solid finisher inside, but can't shoot outside of limited range, especially from 3, can't switch...just too limited, and we have a C who should play 35 mpg.

It's not like he'd be a guy slipping way out of range..he's projected at like 9, and with the injury that's a red flag. Don't think we'd take him anyway.

These wings and guards in today's NBA are more important, Should have learned this over the last few years, taking Ayton over Doncic and seeing the other bigs in that draft not be too impressive (Bagley, Carter, Bamba, etc...JJJ pretty good but he can guard perimeter and is more of a perimeter big).

C's just not a premium today to use a lot of draft capital or money on.

I think the Bam comparisons are way off too since Bam is valuable because he has the defense, but also the great passing, and can play point C. Miami doesn't need a true PG because of Bam...he plays kind of the Draymond role.

I'm a little surprised you are so high on him, given we usually like some of the same prospects, like Isaac, I think maybe JJJ? And it also seems you have said you don't think spending a lot of money on a C is a good use of money...or do you want to play him next to Ayton?

This guy likes him, as well as your man Okongwu. viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1860381#p76764321 Though his track record of bigs hasn't been the best. He had Bamba #1, Bol Bol #1, and then thought Zion would easily be the best player in the NBA, better than Doncic, etc. Of course everyone was high on Zion, but this guy was higher than anyone by far it seemed...even well into the season.

I asked him why he liked Hampton so much on page 3.

He is VERY opinionated..if you've seen him post on any board, you'd know. He's been banned from almost every board in the past and currently only is not banned on the draft board (and recently got reinstated on CA)....so people should refrain from arguments with him.

Yeah, he's a great guy on a team that has no clear star, and NY with Robinson to be the last line of defense is nice. I know people are SO high on Spencer Pearlman's thoughts there (he used to be a Knicks and GB mod)...and he isn't high on Toppin, so it really impacts their opinions. He has been wrong a lot in the past....we argued about Trae for example (I did with that board thinking he would be great for them that year if he slipped....I think they ended up with Knox).

I also like him in GS with Draymond, since Draymond can cover the middle and everyone else can stretch the floor allowing him to finish. Obviously I like him with us, especially if Ayton improves his defense in the middle and help defense and also continues to get better from 3 to spread the floor allowing CP3 and Toppin to do some lob city stuff and play the pick and roll game where Toppin thrives.

But I think Toppin fits in a lot of places that need that star, but preferably with a defensive C in the middle and a bunch of shooters to open things up for him.

Would it help there cause if they got the 10th pick in the draft - move up - what do they have 14 and something later...

[bwgood77]

Everyone suddenly trying to move up. I think people are probably moving up for either Wiseman (Boston, Chicago, maybe a couple others) or Toppin (likely most other teams looking to move up).

For some reason I don't see anyone moving up for Ball or Edwards. Charlotte will probably take Ball though and he will be a non defensive, worse shooting version of Lonzo.
