Dat2, first of all Hello! Great work, per usual.
I haven't put any real time into this list but I've caught glimpses of a lot of these players. My favorites today:
Kel'El Ware
Dalton Knecht
Ron Holland
Tyler Kolek
Jamal Shead
I think the Wizards need to be athletic. Kolek would be the exception. I think he's a starting quality PG.
Shead is like a buzz saw of a competitor. I liked him and Sears from Alabama. Another guy I did like from Alabama is Grant Peterson.
Focusing on our 2nd pick (26)...
The player I am enamoured with is Kyshawn George. A fluid wing with PG skills, length, a sweet shooting stroke, and superb vision & BBIQ... WILL HE LAST TO 26 ???
If we don't take Sarr, at 26 Kel’el Ware would be on my radar. A mobile athletic 7-footer, nice offensive skills and all-around talent with a ton of upside. Avg 16 pts 10 boards 2 blocks last season for Indiana.
If we take Sarr, and/or miss out on George & Ware, a upside pick I like at 26 is 18 yr old 6-8 Wing prospect from France, Pacome Dadiet...
Per NBA DRAFT ROOM:
SF – Ratiopharm Ulm (France) – HT: 6-8 – WT: 210 – WING: NA – Int.05 – A high energy wing who plays both ends, makes quick decisions with the ball and plays with all-out hustle. A good finisher and capable 3pt shooter.
If we take Sarr and or miss out on Castle, a strong candidate at 26 to me who is being a bit overlooked is Hunter Sallis, a 6-5 combo who can play either spot, can score, shoot, pass, and is a pesky perimeter defender.
Per NBA DRAFT ROOM:
SG – Wake Forest – HT: 6-5 – WT: 175 – WING: 6-10 – Jr – A smooth and explosive combo guard with a lanky frame and nice scoring ability.
Hunter Sallis is a smooth guard with a lanky frame, good quickness and great handles. He’s a great scorer from the wing and excels in transition thanks to his high-end athleticism. He’s a versatile player who can play on or off the ball and guard all over the court. He’ll need to refine his play-making skills but has all the tools to make it in the league.
Sallis is one of the most creative finishers in his class and is able to hang in the air, go up and under, and spin the ball off the backboard. He’s got the length and leaping ability to be an above the rim finisher and should improve in this area as he gains strength and power.
He’s got a really nice jumper, getting good elevation and releasing at the top of his jump. His outside shot should develop into a lethal skill at the next levels of play and his mid range game is already very advanced.
Sallis is a pesky perimeter defender with quick hands and always looking to get steals. He currently lacks the bulk to hold his own against NBA caliber 3’s but he’s likely to get a long stronger and bigger over the coming years.
Other players I like that could potentially still be on the board at 26:
Isaiah Collier
Carlton Carrington
Tidjane Salaun
Yves Missi
DaRon Holmes II
Adem Bona
Jamir Watkins
Melvin Ajinca
Ryan Dunn
