Is there a Montrezl Harrell in this draft? If so, where is being mocked to go? Thank you in advance.

Sagaba Konate is the first name that comes to mind. He's testing the waters, not sure if he'll stay in. Would think he'd be a 2nd rounder if he does.

What do you think of Admiral? Seems like a 3 position defender with a shot. Some boards don't even have him mocked.

What site do people use to stay abreast on prospects now that DX went to ESPN Insider?

I've been wondering the same thing. I've just been watching YouTube clips and full games since early March. But, beyond that, and what I glean here and there from reference and convos I have no clue.

Omari Spellman and Udoka Azubuike fit the bill.

Spellman is undersized but an athlete and bulldog who can shoot the 3. Azubuike hurts your spacing, but Harrell doesn't exactly help it himself, and UA is going to win the physical battles while playing more above the rim.

Spellman is being mocked in mid to later 20's by multiple sites. Azubuike I don't see anywhere, although may be because he recently declared. He is a productive player and big athlete at a blue blood. I know it's the small ball era, but still have to think he's valued. Could be another DeAndre Jordan, who was a 2nd rounder.

Helps a lot to have a centralized place where there's a mock with clips and info attached. Don't want to jump all around to a myriad of sites and pages. If that's what's required I'd prefer to stay largely in the dark until the selection and then study up on that fella afterward to save time. Watched a limited amount of college ball this year. My knowledge is limited heavily to the NCAA tourney and the Big Ten.

All this said, I think the Bucks are in great position to truly go bpa, because outside Giannis everyone could reasonably be had for the right price, and we're majorly lacking in rotational depth.

This is the guy I have been searching for, I just didn't know he existed.

Yeah, this is the type of player I have been searching for years. Two years ago Chin O, last year with Ike and Lessort, but this dude has a nastiness that would be fresh air to this team. I actually missed your post and was scrolling around nbadraftroom when I saw someone was being compared to Ben Wallace I knew I found my guy.

You might like Schofield then. He's more of a 2/3/4 but very physical and can score from outside. Very interesting physical profile at 6'5 240. Dope name, too.

Also the brother of former Badger edge O'Brien Schofield.

I like the Stepien scouting reports for the most part

My thing with Wilson was always that his complete lack of toughness was disqualifying in terms of having a high ceiling. If you don't have that in college when you're a 6-10 240 junior (or redshirt sophomore), you'll never have it. Or at the very least it's a terrible bet.

I couldn't agree more. That was my big problem with Henson also when we drafted him. I honestly don't know what they seen in Wilson besides maybe playing decent in the NCAA tournament which shouldn't have solely qualified him for the pick.

Let's say the Suns win the lottery.

Luka
Get our first back
2019 Suns 1st
2018 Miami's 1st
2021 Miami 1st?

For Giannis


Edit: I miss being a tank team

Doncic is a nice prospect. I don't understand the hype as far as being generational. Great numbers especially for a young guy, but I just don't think he has the foot speed or quickness to defend. Offensively it will be much harder to get his own shot against NBA level players. I still have him as a top 5 pick but the "best prospect since.." hyperbole is a little out of control. I've said many times he's the basketball version of Andrew Luck. Very good player and prospect but the hype grew so much from such a young age that it became almost insurmountable.

[emunney]

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Doncic is the best teenaged player in the history of either the ACB or Euroleague. All of his comparison points are great players. Don't get caught up splitting hairs.

[Ron Swanson]

Ayton is far and away the best prospect in this class and is going #1 overall to whoever wins the lottery. After that I think the field is wide open. I could see Doncic going as high as 2nd pretty easily.
