Wingspan. I edited the original to make that clearer.

He is insanely athletic. Also a great passer. but he can't shoot, not a good rebounder for his size either. Projected to go 6th overall to OKC..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

obviously everyone shrinks without shoes but damn, some players really shrunk..

Keon Johnson 6'3.5 wo shoes .. yuk..

He set the record for the highest vertical leap in NBA combine history though.

You'd give up all that for a player who can't shoot and would be like 3 years away from being NBA ready?

I don't think smart is getting traded at least not this year Brad obviously likes him and would you really ask him about ime and deal him I think not.

Good list. Curious why Moses affects your thoughts on Jermiah Robinson Earl?


Because I believe he can be a 4 man in the regular season, but see him more of a small ball 5 man come playoffs. While being pretty good on the perimeter for a Big, not to my liking as 4 man defensively.

Gotcha. I was thinking he was more 3-4 than 5 just size wise. But, haven't checked into him that much since he seems destined to be between what were our 2 picks, and now probably gone before 45.

I wanna look at Herb Jones more at some point.

I'd imagine if it's a great haul then sure nobody is off limits. But my gut says no

That’s my guy for the 2nd round pick if he lasts until 45. I posted a video of his highlights. But that was before we got Al and Moses.

Sims is one of the best defenders in the draft. He can guard 3, 4 and 5. Great athlete who moves his feet well. He is quick enough to stay with guards on switches. Too bad he nor Rob nor Moses can shoot well, or else you can have them on the floor together.

Sims and Horford would be good on the floor together.

That could come in handy, able to guard 3 positions.

Herbert Jones is a really good defender and athlete but he is a (no) 3 and D player. Can't shot at all or else he would be a late 1st round pick.

I would look at Joe Wisekamp at #45. Really good shooter.
