Top 20, somewhere in the teens


I’m more 20-30



He has too much potential to go that late imo, defensively he looks to be really impressive already and the measurements give me peace of mind it will translate to the next level. The athleticism is there but he is super young and still working on his body and learning to use it in game. Shot looks alright and he has some juice on offense that potentially could be squeezed out as well


He’s a bit mechanical on offense on ball. His shot has a hitch. His ceiling on offense is probably 3rd option 20ppg.

I believe in his 3 ball and the hitch being worked out. Never see him becoming a high volume 3 shooter. That would require movement and or on ball creating 3s. Don’t see it.

I do think he will be able to attack closeouts and finish and also create middies. He will be more than just a corner shooter.

His D has NBA All Defense potential. He’s that good. Couple guys compared him to Caruso. Don’t think his D will be that good but I think he can provide more on offense.

Heard Vecenie give a Caruso comp for Drake and his D.

Where should that go in this draft?

I agree too that he goes in the 20-30 range.
