Thr total opposite, idk why but I think Cho will pick anyone at any position but Oubre. Oubre is the right guy tho.


He's a tall semi athletic wing who can't shoot and is a project. Why wouldn't Cho pick him?

If we go overhyped I would prefer Henzonja to this guy. If Winslow, Booker and Oubre are the wings at our pick it should be the order I listed. I would pick Winslow but if they took Booker I would not be to upset. If they took Oubre I would be a bit upset because it would make no sense. The worst shooter of the group with the farthest to go to be a NBA player and the biggest possible bust factor of the group. He is a good trade down target but there is no way he is close to best player available at 9.

Where does the Oubre can't shoot narrative come from?
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

Pretty much because his biggest advocates say Winslow can't shoot, while Oubre's numbers are significantly worse on significantly fewer attempts.

He certainly didn't show himself to be a top tier shooter this year, but that doesn't mean he won't ever be one.

Winslow can't shoot. Anybody that can't make midrange and FTs but can luck into a few 3s rattling in can't shoot.

He shot 32% in high school from deep and 34% in college. He just can't shoot.

Yup. Lol. I promise he won't shoot over 31% on 3s in his rookie year.

Im considering making a sig bet on who will shoot better from deep their rookie year. I don't see either one shooting well at all.

That's fine, but saying a guy lucked into making shots is embarrassingly trollish, even for you. That's the level of analysis you're left with in this argument. "He was just lucky."

Please sig bet me on this now. Winslow won't be able to toe that line in the NBA.

You know I clowned Winslow's toeing of the line since the beginning. My stance ain't changing until he prove he can shoot legit 3s in the NBA.

I don't even have to think about it. Winslow can't shoot. Y'all can throw those numbers around all y'all want. He's too uncomfortable back there for it to translate to the NBA from shooting 20fters to 23fters.
