I like Tre Johnson over VJ.

Kasparas Jakucionis to me is going to be very good but his shooting is suspect. He will need several years before he's good. He should stay in College one more year but he won't.

My process for this draft is take bpa with Sac pick: Essongue, CMB, Bryant, etc. Then with LAL pick basically a good intangibles and rebounder like Yax.

Finally in the 2nd, trade for one and take best center available.

Kinda like Thomas Sorber for the Hawks based on their picks and roster.

Seems like a front court 4/5 guy is the bigger roster need there or what do people see as the biggest need? Kind of quietly accumulated a pretty good collection of young talent.

I assumed he would get people excited but he might be a sure All-Star talent. Flagg is just the better player right now according to experts.

Jase Richardson's BPM + Shooting Efficiency #s are really impressive.

Ditto for Kon Kneuppel

Adding KK to the Hawks roster as the heir apparent to Kyle Korver's 3-pt legacy would be genuinely wonderful for the franchise...

Kon Knueppel (Duke, SG/SF)



Previous Mock Position: No. 10
Size: 6'6", 217 lbs
Age: 19
Nationality: USA

Pro Comparisons: Kevin Huerter, Corey Kispert, Saddiq Bey

Kon Knueppel hit the 20-point mark against Arizona and Alabama, scoring within Duke's offense off catch-and-shoot chances and physical drives. His skill set and body are tailor made for spot-up scoring, but Knueppel's ball-screen playmaking and vision off the dribble have been highly effective as well.

His lack of explosion does show when he's in traffic trying to separate, but NBA teams are going to see a plug-and-play wing based on his positional size, shooting, passing IQ and competitiveness on defense.
