Who do you project him to be? Is Khris Middleton close comparison?

I don’t see Middleton as a comp. Think he’s more like a Korver or Bogdanovic.

I like that it's very different from a lot of the consensus. I like Howard quite a bit and wonder if the difference between him and Dick + Hawkins as a shooter isn't that big. What else are you seeing that has him this high?

I just think at his size he's one of the most skilled guys in the class. As I watched him over the season I thought he actually improved a bit on defense too.

When you say Mo Gueye for the Warriors, do you mean the WSU kid, or the 24 year old G League dude? The latter seems more like a Kerr guy.
This movie is like the Rocky Horror Picture Show where everyone knows all the lines.

Haha dammit actually like this board more than most.

Seems like Wallace is a great fit/solid pro. Thompsons seem sketchy. TJD and Jacquez are a couple guys I like for Boston at 35 that prob don’t get there.
