2019 NBA draft

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

I've now heard two coaches, including Coach K earlier this evening, extol the virtues of Ty Jerome. I went back and looked at some Virginia film, and I'm adding him to my list of guys the Celtics should seriously consider. Smart player.

O Connor at The Ringer compares him to Van Vleet, thinks he will overcome whatever defensive liabilities due to a high basketball IQ, very underrated Draft sleeper I think

[NotMyKawhi]

you guys should grab bol bol if he's there

I don't watch a ton of college b-ball but I do watch the tournament, then fall in love with guy who do well there. That's why I really like Okeke and Edwards

Questions:

Who is the best big bodied center to go up against guys like Embiid? I like about Rob Williams and Theis (if he's back) but still think we need another big guy just in case we lose Al or Baynes.... both of of them were injury prone last year getting another guy could help.

Who are the best Draft and Stash candidates in the 20-22 range? I don't think we will end up with three first rounders on the team next year so I think Ainge either makes a deal for a future pick/picks or looks to stash someone overseas. Okeke may as well be considered a D&S, just because he probably won't see the court next year.

That my friend will not happen in this draft. Most of the bigs have talent on the offensive side of the ball. No Bruisers to got at Embiid in this draft with NBA talent.

Tacko Fall.

Foul machine. Too slow to guard the perimeter.

Still no love for Jaxson Hayes. I know the NBA is obsessed with big men who can stretch the floor, but if the price isn't too silly I'd trade up and grab him. Makes even more sense that we seem to be going (forced into going) young and fast.

If the Knicks are serious about not wanting Barrett, I'd also be talking to the Pelicans about a trade.

The whispers about Herro won't go away though, but Danny rarely drafts who the whispers are about, so we'll have to wait until draft night. I'd prefer to pass on Herro, but wouldn't hate it.

If we keep the current picks (which I doubt), then I wouldn't mind taking a look at Ty Jerome in green also.

I have been talking about him a lot. Great shooter, smart on offense, overall high b-ball IQ. His athletic ability and strength are somewhat of a problem. The only two things that might prevent him from having a long NBA career.

How is the 2020 NBA Draft looking?

Keep a eye on Incoming Harvard Freshman, Chris Ledlum

So, we got 2 bigs under contract for next season. As I wrote in the Horfie thread, Bitadze, Clarke, Washington, Claxton and even Fernando are looking better and better by the hour. I actually like what Bitadze brings to a young team as a Horfie replacement as he's so versatile on offense. Clarke would be fantastic, too....

In case anybody cares, that's my top60-ish

means guys whos value I like, the others I pretty much would avoid

Clarke can't play center. I don't even consider him a big. He is 6'8 walong with 210 lbs. Tatum is bigger than him in everything.

You're drafting him to use him as the Nets used RHJ.

I have read that the Thunder are looking to package pick 21 with salary to dump as well.

I know we already have 3 first round picks but do you guys think we should consider doing that and hope we hit on these picks? I'm guessing depending on salary cap, it may make things a little dicey by adding pick 21 to our repertoire as well.

Hahah, well PJ Washington is there for the taking. Bitadze, too. Both are more PF/C type players. Clarke is more mobile.

As a fan of UVA I watched a lot of Ty Jerome. In many ways he seems more fit for modern NBA than Brogdon but my concern with him is whether he is physically able to compete in NBA. His shooting, ball handling, vision, passing and even his defensive tenacity were all major pluses at NCAA level. Is he strong enough and fast enough for NBA? I’m not sure but if it is he would be a solid fit for Brad’s system.

Except he can hit 3s from everywhere.

Reminder - all draftaholics are invited to participate in the RealGM draft contest held in the NBA Draft forum viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1851030. You can choose to do just the lottery picks or the entire 1st round. Scoring is 4 points for every correct pick, 2 points if you're 1 off, and 1 point if you're 2 off. Just post your picks there to participate, and you can edit them up until 1 hour before the draft. Enjoy!

Cam Reddish will be steal of the draft if he falls outside top 5 as projected. Stock is at all time low but talent is too good to ignore. He apparently played all year with an injury just recently disclosed. I still think he will end up a better pro than Sekou, Hunter or Cullver.

If Clarke can add 10-15lbs over the course of his first 3 years or so he'll be fine. His defensive potential across the board is significant. Measurables are good but they are just one aspect in analyzing a talent. Be careful of giving them too much weight and actual production, too little.

Did you watch him play at Duke?

The injury line is just BS he used to justify his lack of effort and terrible season— if he was really hurt he wouldnt have played. Dont buy it for him or Langford.

Yeah I e seen that posted here a few times. He is 6’8 and 207 with short arms. He is not a big: he played bigger than that in college against people that are smaller than your NBA PFs and centers.

He is a good player with great defensive that you hope translates in the NBA. He is a Jordan Mickey but a much much better athlete.

In what way exactly is he a Jordan Mickey? On height?? Will he flame out the league and eventually the G???

I think he's more like Nance with a jumpshot but that's just me.

Yeah. Nance would be another possible comp. He is a better passer than Clarke though. Big fan of Nance. I think he is waisting his time in Cleveland when he could make a lot of playoff teams better.
