not really, unless maybe you consider Jarace Walker to be that archetype for you eventually, otherwise guys like Lively or Clowney but 10 is way too rich for both at this point

What about Taylor Hendricks? He kind of fits that mold, not necessarily a center but could play small ball 5 in a pinch.

i think Hendricks is more of a 3/4 than a 4/5 tbh, but if he potentially shows the ability to play some small ball 5 great, that'll only make him better.

Hawkins athleticism is very underrated. He's not just a catch and shoot player. In the right system, kid will explode.

A tremendous resource for draft coverage.

I have all kinds of in-game signage ideas in case the Jazz draft Gradey Dick:
"We love Dick!"
"See Dick run! Run, Dick. Run!"
"Y'all don't have Dick."
"I'm a big Dick guy."

I think Orlando could take him at #11 and have him replace Gary Harris. I'm not sure he's really a top-10 guy, but I guess we'll see.

GG Jackson, Leonard Miller, and Maxwell Lewis all feel like "OKC" prospects.

So, what to people think of Bobi Klintman? Amazingly fluid for his size, U19 tape is interesting, Wake Forest season a bit disappointing.

I'm intrigued enough I think I'd like him at 16 for the Jazz, but it's one of those situations where there is not a ton to go on so you have to trust NBA evaluators.

If I could walk away with a trio of Ausar Thompson, Bobi Klintman, and Bilal Coulibaly I would be pretty excited.

You’d take the mystery box over the boat for sure.

Well, you can see how he moves and shoots, and you can see some interesting passing. Reminds me a bit of Franz Wagner. He looks raw, especially his handle, but he is big and coordinated and already has some skill. It's not so much a mystery box as a beat up car that is either (a) not very good, or (b) a sleeper.

Possible to expand more on this ? And who you feel OKC would likely pick ?

They have a history of drafting people who are body + skill outliers, at least in terms of how they combine (I'm very druink rn). So I see bigs who can pass + hypothetically develop as shooters, or big wings as guys who fit their "type."

GG is a Sam Presti guy, a Masai Ujiri guy and a David Griffin guy. I'd expect he gets taken in the 12-15 range. Maybe Leonard Miller gets in there and pushes GG down a spot or two.

I can see Maxwell Lewis but the other two I really don't understand. The Thunder are drafting more BBIQ guys and Jackson is NOT that. Not sure how good feel for the game Miller has.

Guess it’s painfully clear to everyone who Presti like to target .

GG showed some more playmaking ability in high school than he did in college. In an ideal world his development trajectory turns him into a linking piece like Lamar Odom/Andrei Kirilenko/Josh Smith in terms of his ability to be a secondary/tertiary playmaker. Do I buy that he'll develop in the NBA? I'm not sure, he is so young but his season at SC was just so so bad.
