I think Huerter is doing a decent job is Hunter , Reddish really that much better than the other off guards? I think Hunter will be a good role player Reddish well you know my opinion on him. He shows flashes but I have to see more than that to draft him. Clarke could be a starter pairing with Collins could give teams alot to handle. Would the Hawks draft Clarke 5th? I guess it depends on how much they really like him. Is there a thing such as overdrafting? If a team wants a player and is afraid to lose him then makes sense to draft him higher.
215 at 23 years old with a maxed out frame. I don't see it D. Green. He has Shawn Marion athleticism with DMC game out of college. I don't know how you want to make this work but that's what he is. I think he can be a 3rd option on a championship team when he peaks which is why he's tied for 4th on my big board.
I am not sure what you meant by Huerter-Hunter?
No, Reddish is not that much better. He is that much better at being a better fit in our system but he's not really better than Hunter, Little, Louis King, Culver, Cameron Johnson, Talen Horton-Tucker, and Keldon Johnson. They are all around the same range in terms of overall similar to that area Kevin H, Okogie, Donte DiVincenzo, Jerome Robinson and those guys had last year. The issue is, how will they translate and the biggest for us, how do they fit in our system.
Guys like Louis King, Cam Johnson, K. Johnson, Culver, struggle due to size, shooting, or athleticism. The guys who have 2 out of 3 tend to do the best and if they have 3 out of 3, they aren't in the category. Those who have 1 out of 3, usually are stuck to the bench or struggle a lot as rookies.
That leaves THT, Hunter, Little and Reddish as the guys who have the best shot to translate as rookies. They have 2 out of 3. BBIQ does matter but not as much as rookies. More so for winning basketball and contending. Then we look at what we are. We love to pass, dribble, and shoot. Everyone we drafted last year was PDS types. In this list, only Hunter and Reddish are PDS types. Then we look at our style, how we play, fit, range, and potential. While Hunter is a PDS type, he is barely one. He isn't really a volume shooter. He prefers to score within the paint or just be a team player. While Cam plays our style of, chuck that ****! If you can hit it from 30ft, heck yeah! Floor spacing GRAVITY. Then he has great defensive potential, has age on his side and fits our pace. He is the only perfect fit in this draft for us. That includes Zion as well but don't get me wrong, ZION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> you get the rest.
I am as sold on Clarke at PF as I am with DMC. It could work but it won't look pretty. Too small. Much too small.
I would be okay with taking Clarke at #5. He fits our system, could develop into a SF, the best athletic at SF in this class with winning BBIQ, a defensive savant like Marion, just a special prospect. He can give you a Siakam like return in our system. But he's a SF to me long term even if he is not right now. I have Clarke highly rated on my board. His potential at SF is through the roof.
Hayes, Langford, & Hunter. Those are my favorite players at our projected draft spots.
