Only Hairston knows where the NBA 3-pt line is and shot at 36%, promising for a young player who can score in other ways. Hairston definitely helps with shooting needs and could be a great 6th man.

Add Glenn Robinson III.

Potential elite defense with an under-the-radar shot and decent offense.

MKG with the ability to hit wide open.

Torn between Porzingas and Anderson, went with Porzingas to show solidarity with Lamar. If we didn't have what finally seems to be a competent coaching staff I'd probably go with Anderson since he's less of a project.

capella is probably the only guy projected in the 1st round that we havent discussed in any of our draft threads.

I don't really think Capella is a good fit. Not a knock on him as a player, because I think he'll be a decent role player. But with Biz and Zeller, who are somewhat similar players, I don't know where he'd get playing time. And I don't think he's got enough potential to make it worth drafting him when he'll likely be sitting behind Biz, Zeller, and whoever else we bring in to compliment Al at PF for quite a while.

Payton, easily.

Payton. He would be a terrific pickup at #17. But his stock is rising so fast, he's gonna be gone late lottery.

I'd also like to submit Walter Tavares into consideration: 7-3 Spaniard that plays for Gran Canaria.

He's also like 7 inches taller. It's really the only reason he's getting drafted.

If you make me think of Gheorge Muresan in any way, you're immediately removed from consideration.

Sorry Tavares, you would have had a solid career in the early 90s.
