Honestly, I think if he falls outside the top 10 he becomes a ridiculous value. I don't see him as a future superstar but I do see him as someone in the vicinity of Montrezl Harrell or Pascal Siakam in terms of talent level and position. And like those guys I mentioned, I do think he's got some allstar potential there, too.

I brought him up in this thread -- which I started. Since I said it was intended to find guys outside the lottery, I couldn't mention him except on that basis.

I was careful to suggest more in terms of position and talent level rather than game. I find game comparisons are often tricky and dangerous things when it comes to the draft. Honestly, both Siakam and Harrell are rather unique players in the league right now and don't compare well to each other so much. Draymond Green is another guy like that. I see Clarke being another of those unique guys that doesn't necessarily have a comparison but who also finds ways to be supremely versatile and effective on both ends of the floor from the PF spot.

Diakete is slated to go undrafted, and as a FA, he'd be a bargain for sure but in all likelihood, he'll go back to UVa.

CJ Massinburg, Admiral Schoefield, and Ethan Happ are a trio of seniors that have probably hit their potential, but would be very solid contributors, especially since they won't have to be "the man" anymore. If you consider the Brogdon pick at 36th overall a bargain, then yeah, these three guys are all potential bargains. You can lump Dedric Lawson in here too, but he's not a senior.

Carson Edwards is more of a boom/bust Jodie Meeks type bargain, but his game really demands the ball whereas the other guys can fill a supporting role more easily.

But I think all these guys are bargains in the sense that they are journeymen-type players who can carve out a career. I don't see any Ginobili's or Parkers in this draft.
