won't know until we see who's drafted where

Jared Butler. One of the most NBA-ready players in the draft with the widest offensive skillset.

If they are drafted outside of the lottery I have Springer and Dosunmu as the two guys I like.

If taken as a late first rounder I think it will be Isaiah Todd if he figures it all out.

I'm warming up to Roko Prkacin as a big, tough wing who can play on the ball. He's showing up late 1st and mid-2nd round on people's mocks. I think he's as good a prospect as Franz Wagner, maybe better. He has a better chance to be a Gordon Hayward-type player than Wagner, imo, since he's more fluid with the ball in his hands.

Marcus Bagley has the tools to be like Trevor Ariza, though I don't know how engaged or tough he is mentally.

I think David Johnson from Louisville has starter potential.

Agbaji/Christopher and Butler will outperform their draft position, Filip too.

Jalen Johnson has lined himself up for this. Top 5 pure talent in this draft. Could easily fall to ? Late lottery/teens?

Idk what it is, I want to take him 3 or 4 in this draft. But I hope my team somehow selects him in the 20’s

Trendon Watford deserves a shoutout too.

Hmmm. Springer, Butler, Queta, Duarte, Petrusev, Prkacin... love em all.

Because "Steal" is dependent on when they are taken:
Non Lotto: Springer
Late 1st: Duarte
Early 2nd: Dosunmu
Late 2nd: Herb Jones

I have a few guys that i like as fringe starters whom i think can have long NBA careers because they can fullfill certain roles within the modern NBA.

Sidenote: I am from Europe and i am a big fan of the European style of basketbal and fundamentally sound basketball players.

- Petrusev
- Sengun
- Bouknight
- Grimes
- Jokubaitis
- Duarte
- Bleijenbergh

It really is impossible to do this without knowing who's going to be picked when and by whom, but if I was forced to pick 1 player who I think is undervalued, it'd probably be... Petrusev. The more I watch of him post Gonzaga, the more I like.

You dont think Springer is a lottery pick? I do pretty easily
Jones is not lasting until the late 2nd

My point is that is when they become "the steal of the draft".
I love Springer, but if he drafted at 8 I dont think he is the steal of the draft... but at 15-17 he is.

I "Think" all those guys will be drafted above where I have put them, which is why they become the steal if they are drafted in the above areas.

The thread is premature and requirements of it are asking to project outcomes as well so yeah of course Springer is a lottery talent and if he slides hes a steal.

If Tre Mann and Alperen Sengun look as good at the pro level as they do now, it's one of them.
