In the late 1st and 2nd round, there's Filip Petrusev and Matthew Hurt. I think teams would be hoping that Kai Jones can shoot.

Otherwise, I believe in Isaiah Todd as a shooter.

My mans Filip, gonna be a bench stretch big for years to come. Kaminsky type 2.0

Every year some prospect gets picked in the 30’s and ends up having a top 15 ranked career in his draft class. It’ll be Filip for sure

Sengun, Kopravica or Mobley are my bets.

You're kidding, right?

I like Sengun, but he's only a 19% shooter from 3

My picks are Mobley, Kai Jones and Petrusev..

Not kidding. Sengun is an 80% free throw shooter, young, and skilled. He's gonna shoot. Watch and learn.

Also LMAO not believing in Sengun but listing Petrusev.

This is why I've been high on Jay Huff for a while. His age is the only real negative, but even two years ago he was shooting threes and blocking shots at a rate that should've warranted draft consideration on a national championship Virginia team.

Difference is Petrusev has turned it into something very credible, he’s older of course. Sengun definitely has the right indicators for translation (FT %) but Filip has the translation right now as we speak.

Do you mean going 30 for 69 in one season? That's not what I call translation. That's how people got sucked into Obi Toppin.

Petrusev's underappreciated as a shooter and as a scorer, but he really sucks at everything else. Kuzma-y.

It’s better then Sengun’s %’s. I mean he sucks defensively but on offense he’s shown to stretch the floor I mean what more do you want to see?
