2022 NBA Draft

What do you guys think about Christian Braun? The more I watch the kid play, the higher I have him.

[The-Power]

I think Timme will have an NBA career. Likely he'll get eaten alive but the more athletic bigs but how
many of these are on NBA rosters.

He'll get eaten alive by any competent Guard or Wing.

Someone I've come around on a little. Didnt think much outside of his transition O coming into the year but I think he's someone that will be able to attack advantage situations inside the halfcourt as well. I'd be very surprised if he ever carved anything more than a bench role on an NBA team and I wouldn't take him inside the top 40 but he's a decent athlete and someone who can be connective tissue as well as a play finisher both above the rim and from a C&S perspective.

Zaga has issues with athletic teams, just point blank, they are just not athletic enough, we just saw this against Baylor last yr

Their boosters pay like the one superstar prospect and then expect Mark Few to recruit any differently than he ever has.

[Kobblehead]

What do you guys think about Christian Braun? The more I watch the kid play, the higher I have him.

Overall, his production doesn't standout, but he's tall and athletic and he shoots it well enough. I can see him having a career similar to Pat Connaughton.

[Kobblehead]

Drew Timme will have a better NBA career than Chet Holmgren.

These nonathletic scoring bigs have an extremely low hit rate at the next level. They're fun as hell to watch in college, but that's usually the extent of it.

[CptCrunch]

At this point, Chet is one more bad game from dropping out for the #1 for me.

It is becoming clearer and clearly that Paolo is the best player this year despite his lower floor than both Chet and Jabari.

The realistic ceiling on the other 2 are simply potentially too limited.

[Kobblehead]

I think Banchero is the best positional passer in the lotto, but he just doesn't shoot it well enough for my liking.

I have Jabari Smith as my far and away leader for #1.

BTW, this just highlights how great a prospect Cade was, in hindsight. He combined the passing of Banchero with the shooting of Smith.

i think the opposite in terms of floor here, to me Paolo has the highest floor/lowest ceiling of the three.

Can someone break down the differences between Chet & Bol Bol for me besides Chet being a better passer & Bol being a better scorer?

[Kobblehead]

Any of the Villanova guys draftable?

Collin Gillespie
Justin Moore
Caleb Daniels

[Kobblehead]

Can someone break down the differences between Chet & Bol Bol for me besides Chet being a better passer & Bol being a better scorer?

Chet has better handle and is a better finisher. Also, far better intangibles. Most reports say Bol had awful focus, attitude, and love for the sport. So aside for the bad body and injuries, Bol Bol had a high chance of being a bust based on intangibles.

Chet has better functional athleticism

but Bol was a top prospect for me too so

I think Timme will have an NBA career. Likely he'll get eaten alive but the more athletic bigs but how
many of these are on NBA rosters.

He'll get eaten alive by any competent Guard or Wing.

It'll be interesting to see how Timme fares at the combine. If he really is 6-10 235, he will make an NBA roster for
he can score and is strong enough to hold position. He's an old style PF type, a mid to late SRP for not everybody
has to be shooting from 25 feet.

It's hard to imagine any NBA team being in the market for an unathletic inside the arc scoring F that can't rebound or defend, though.

30% from 3, 67% from FT. Even if he can score in the post like KAT (he can't), there is no place for him in the league unless someone really wants a post player to lead their bench unit. Oh, he doesn't rebound either.

Let's recap

Cons
Unathletic for NBA
Doesn't defend well
Doesn't rebound well
Doesn't shoot well

Pro(s)
Has pretty good post play

hes not, he's like 6-8.

he's a 3rd unit bench big in the NBA in a BEST case scenario, europe much more likely route. he has no discernable skills outside of scoring in the post, can't shoot, can't defend the post or in space, not a passer, can't even rebound really, is undersized and positionless in the NBA in the worst way possible.

please stop this Timme nonsense before it starts.

Can't shoot, can't defend in space, can't protect the rim. That kind of PF is just about the worst archetype for the current NBA.

[Upperclass]

Branham looks like the best 2 guard prospect in the draft.. plays very under control, nice shot, first step and doesn't even have real skill yet

[clyde21]

AJ Griffin looks way closer to 6-4 than 6-6 to me
