I would take a shot on Myles Powell around the 40 spot. Maybe higher. I like his potential. Kid can shoot the lights out when he’s feeling it. Can play off-ball or on. Makes good use of screens to separate and get his shot off. Is 6’2 but plays bigger. Has a 6’7 wingspan. Has a little Harden in his game. Good free-throw shooter (>80%) and can get to the line (7.2 FTA per 40).

I would take him in the 20s of the first round. He’s that player everyone passes on and plays really well in the NBA. He’s getting overlooked for his age, size and team he plays for.

Where did they have him at before? I’m pretty awful with international players and don’t even know who that is.

His measurements look pretty sweet but nothing efficient going on there. Does he do anything in the paint at 7ft?

tail end of the first last I remember but they might have been moving him up gradually all this time, he's super young and really underdeveloped physically at this point, has some skill and can stretch which is why they're probably big on him but I thought end of the 1st was a much better spot for him

Rim-protect (potentially)

They have had him hovering around the 17th-22nd spot for a while which I think is fair. 11th is a little high, in my opinion but he does have potential.

Just from watching some highlight videos, he doesn’t seem 7’0 tall. He’s more like 6’10/185.

He’s pretty small but has good form and could provide weak side rim protection and if he gets bigger and is truly 7 feet tall, he could be more of a modern center as he is fairly agile for his size. He’s a pretty good passer as well. He is still very young, so he has time to get stronger and expand his game. Has good touch around the rim as well.

Could we get some more takes on David Duke and Myles Powell? I’d be really interested to see what others think about these two guys.

I love Okoro, but I'm not going top 5 with him.

Not far off. Just had a look and I had him at 8 on my last one, I think he's anywhere in that 5-10 range for me.

I buy the upside, I just don't think he's a sure thing offensively, there's a bit of projecting that needs to be done there to go top 5.

If my Hawks got a top 5 pick, I would take him.

Any thoughts on Leandro Bolmaro? I think he has potential as a POA defender, and seems like a pretty good ball-handler for his size, with good vision.

What's Kira Lewis' ceiling in you guys' opinion? Every time I watch him he displays elite quickness and shiftiness and to me that would only get better in the NBA with the extra space he'd have. Personally, I'd take him top-10 this year.

Is he as good a prospect of Jevon Carter?

No idea unfortunately. I haven't really looked into Jevon Carter enough to judge.

*EDIT* TLDR; I could be was off, but I don't see the guy as a future NBA rotation player, from the description and from his stats and from knowing a little about how players transfer from the Argintininian league.

The long (and original) read:

From what I've scouted, Carter is one of the best college defenders I've seen, as far as POA. He's got a nice three point shot too.

But is a third string guard for a bad team, and imo until he proves otherwise I wouldn't want him being in a role any bigger than that.

What my thoughts on Bolmer are, from your brief description
-probably not as good a defender as Carter (because Carter was great)
-"potential" ball handler is nice but there is about 11 actual ball handlers in the draft already
-good vision is great, but does that sepetate him from the pack?

At the bottom of the league most of the players are interchangable for Gleaguers, Euro guys and top division 1 players. What can Bolmero do that would have him stick?

A well known, actualized version of the guy you described Bolmero "potentially" being is Jevon Carter. And he might be looking forward to a career as a 3rd stringer (better than as an interchangable guy). If Bolmero can't measure up to Carter, he's less than a 3rd stringer, meaning at best interchangable. I think most players drafted after 45 are interchangable, most years, so I didn't get much out of your description for Bolmero to be anybody worth looking at (although you were polite, so I'll look up his numbers). Maybe you were underselling him? If so I might miss on the guy.

After looking at his stats, he dosent seem to stand out at any category except decent volume scoring at decent effcienty (although the low 3% is a bad sign for a wing not known as a GREAT athlete or a guy racking up APG #'s).

I don't bet against young basketball players, buy I'll say the Mavericks brought in a more accomplished Argintininian a few years ago, who I had high hopes for and he dissapointed me.

The league Bolmero is in is not known for sending lots of high quality NBA prospects up, to my knowledge.

I think many foriegn players also don't like leaving their home, where they are a star to be at best, treated like an interchangable jag. I think that between that and the likley, ungurateed contract (which costs him guaranteed cash in his home country) Many players who maybe NBA caliber don't even try for the NBA. I also think the language barrier comes into effect, negativity with many NBA caliber players, who only don't make the league because of communication issues.

why are we comparing Bolmaro and Carter...? that doesn't make any sense to me
