They don't trust themselves. Stevens has yet to draft in the first round.

I wish they’d have posters from here give their best available as a comparison. I I certainly don’t mean me as don’t know **** about anyone, but many do here.

Because Bilas sucks?

Based on what's left I could see Cam Whitmore or Leonard Miller potentially coming in here and potentially having a role if they're exceptional as rookies.

Sure. And that's a chance you take if it's a guy who could be as good as Embiid.

But not a wing who doesn't pass (when you have tatum and brown) who relies heavily on his athleticism..

Not really. Situation, position plays into that also. Like Denver drafting MPJ

MPJ is an elite shooter at 6'10". So even if injuries took his athleticism, he's a good NBA player.

Whitmore is only 6'6" with a 6'8" wingspan, an average at best shooter and relies heavily on his athleticism. A guy (at age 18) with knee injury concerns - it's a red flag. Hence, why he's still there on the board..

Tatum wasn't much of a passer in college either.

He got drafted onto a different team.

Our celtics team right now. We have 3 guys (tatum, brown, KP) who can drop 25-30+ points on any given night. And KP and JB aren't good passers. We need guys around them who can create for others and won't be ball hogs - especially with Brogdon still on the team.

Tatum was also a top 3 pick. That's where you draft a star. We're picking 25th - where you draft a role player. Role players can't be ball stoppers.

Whoever we draft will not be starting. Need someone to score off the bench.

Another tryhard for the Heat

The only guy I’m “not feeling” is Nick Smith Jr. Please not him

If Miami drafted him, you know he'll be solid or better...

The point is if a team can afford to stash the hit is less hard
