Jeez - at this rate, Sims and Bassey may still be there at 56.

Sharife's slide is starting to feel Grant Riller-ish...

body, position and game style very similar to McD?

Nah, more defensive minded. He plays like a center without the center body. Good shot blocker.

Yeah, he's a bit hard to figure out. Mocks had him all over the place, but he climbed steadily up 'til draft day. He has a rep for being athletic but to me he moves like a 'Bol' - kind of gangly and robotic. He also has a rep as a floor stretcher but only shot 29% from 3. Like you say, he does block shots. Who knows - there were def better options available, but maybe he turns into something.

That really sounds like what we saw from McD though - wasn't it?

Your friendly reminder that there's a dude named David Duke in this draft.

Not really apples to apples in that Thor seems like a skinny big that can play a bit on the wing rather than McD that seems like a skinny wing that does spot duty down low, but - to your point - they would kinda/sorta play the same role and I actually like McD more in that role (lanky, Siakam, disruptor type of archetype). It's kind of a puzzler - liked several guys much better - suppose we felt we were taking BPA but I don't really see it.

You've done well considering you hit the wall around 30 picks ago!!
