Jarace Walker is better than all 3 of them.

Cam Whitmore averaging two turnovers for every assist and managing less than an assist per game only to end up as a potential top 5 pick is hilarious. Hard to ignore that combination of athleticism and power though. Worked out well with Jaylen Brown.

Most good NBA SFs at best had 1/1 ratios in college with a ton of them with negative ratios and few with positive ones. MPJ 0.3/1, Wiggins 1.5/2.3.

When it comes to AST/TO for SFs it's a little less concerning to me. Even Franz Wagner who was then considered a guard was 1/1.5 his freshman season. Anunoby 0.5/0.8.

I don't think anyone can go halfway on Whitmore you're either a fan or a hater of how he projects. His game is rim-pressure, shooting and defending and he gets to the rim almost 2x as much as Brandon Miller does despite being 1.5 yrs younger. It's a trait that will always be in demand and at a premium especially in a 6'7 235 lb package who is still 18 years old who isn't a liability as a shooter or defender.

Whoever takes him needs to put an emphasis on his passing immediately.

Scottie Barnes is a key starter/bench player in this exercise. Nudged out by Giddey who got selected in the All-NBA/All-star range.

Very good exercise which was covered by few draft nerds on Twitter as well.

normally I would have been really worried about taking a prospect like Cam, but I think he's the exact type of prospect that our new coaching staff can really help. Anyways, we probably won't be in a position to draft him.

#7 and another 1st for OG? We could end up with Wallace at #7 and Podz at #13

I can see Whitmore ending up like Jabari Parker or a big time star.

Guys with very poor assist to turnover ratios sometimes bust when they have every other trait as a strength and sometimes they figure it out and become all stars.

I see Whitmore as a boom bust player and I'm not sure I want to take that risk in the top 5.

He has him as an future all nba guy but it was down to him or Giddey, he went with Giddey.

The smokescreen jpegs gonna get some heavy use starting next week lol

Think teams will have a good idea about the players they'd want at this point and it's all about positioning/dealing to get those players.
