What is Gary Clark's draft range, and why is his floor the GOAT?

But seriously, looking for others thoughts on him as a player, feels like a great fit for the modern 4 to me, enough so that I'd be fully comfortable with a squad taking him in the 1st, and yet I rarely see him mocked at all.

I think he's a possibility at 29 for the Warriors. He's definitely in mocks I've seen (Tankathon for example).

Isaac Bonga for the Warriors or I'm staging a riot in Oaktown.

I'd like the Warriors fit for sure.

Tankathon is actually the only one I've seen him on off the top of my head.

What do y'all know about Mustapha Heron? Seems fairly similar to a guy like Alkins, but better shooter.

in the few times I watched him, good scorer and a solid shooter (questionable shot selection), but seems to need the ball a lot while not creating much for anyone except himself. Maybe think the worst or at least bad version of Jordan Clarkson?

Yeah his passing stats are not good at all. Shabazz with a better shot maybe.

LOL! I just looked....did not know they were that poor. Expected his 3 Point % to be a little higher also....might be more related to shot selection than shot mechanics.

Bonga seems to me like the type of player who will got mocked in the 30-35 range all the way up until draft day and then some team will end up taking him in the 18-22 range. I think the average team will have him as a really early 2nd but at least 2-3 teams will have him really high on their boards due to his potential and be more than happy to take him a lot earlier. There's always a team willing to take the risk they get a Thon Maker or Bruno in order to potentially steal a Giannis.

I've continually said I'd love for the Suns to take him at 31.

Am I the only one that really likes Shake Milton? I rarely see his name pop-up, but I see him as one of the better prospects in the Draft. To me he is easily a lottery talent.

No I love him too. Great size, a career 43% 3 pt shooter (shot that every year and on this year on 5 attempts per game), good size at 6'5-6'6. I love him for the Suns too, depending on whether or not they get Doncic or Trae or some other pg in the mid lottery. I figured they'd address PG earlier though. If they didn't, and he was there at 31 I would be very happy with him too.

The Suns NEED 3 pt shooting in the worst way, though they need a lot of things.

Milton seems like he'd be a really good 3rd guard. The eye test never did heaps for me, but he is statistically proven to be an elite shooter and he has good size.

I feel like he could have a Brogdon-esque role at the next level, though their actual games differ somewhat.

Having a tough time ordering the likely later 1st and 2nd round bigs in the draft. What order would others put these players in (not that they'll all come out)? Is there anyone else you'd put in there with them?

Konate
Spalding
Hall
Spellman
Wagner
Tillie
Metu

Hall is a little hard to read IMO. Can slide, super athletic, super long, but terrible frame, bad passer, generally not good feel for the same and doesn’t take a lot of shots. But when he shoots his short shots are money and he can finish dunks really well, but with his frame if he isn’t dunking he has a hard time with contact. I can’t see him busting, but I could see him not succeeding.

Spalding is kind of underrated. He’s long, blocks shots and gobbles offensive rebounds, he’s super fluid, but again he doesn’t have a good frame. Could see him rising a lot.

Ray Spalding is the next Taj Gibson

Some people missing on that list, a "people" missing on that list

DeVonte Graham is a really underrated passer.
