2018 NBA Draft pt 2 - NOW WITH A POLL

jakecronus8 · Post #41 » by **jakecronus8** » Fri Jun 1, 2018 7:48 pm

Only picked one because I'm intrigued by Okobo.

My top 3 for guys in our range would be

Musa
Okobo
Bates Diop

I'd also try to buy a second for Isaac Bonga and stash him or set him up with suki.

Just watched some Spellman stuff and now I like DiVincenzo. Punchable face and all.

I think he's going to be great defending PG's, I watched him vs Villanova defending Jalen Brunson. Forced a ton of tough shots and locked him down in OT. You have him play off the ball offensively and put him on the best guard defensively, maybe even 3's.

Going up against Brunson is like the worst example if you want to tell how he'll do versus NBA PG's.

I'll preface by saying I don't watch College basketball but...

To me, Donte DiVincenzo looks like another productive player who is on the older side as a prospect (will turn 22 this coming season) and was a role player in college. He seems to have benefitted quite a bit from a great game in the national title.

It would seem a Z. Smith would be a better idea. As he is younger and has figured out a lot of things that Donte does at a much younger age. He also seems to have better athleticism and projects as a quality defender. His 3 pt numbers were also good, albeit on low volume.

Is it that Donte has a better chance at helping us next year?

I'd love to have them both. Good point about the age, though Donte Di's 42 inch vertical isn't about age. He's simply a more gifted player than he's been given credit for. But there's something special about Z. Smith - his combo of athleticism, body control, length, and BBIQ I think makes him arguably the best guard prospect in the draft.

Okobo could be the next Tony Parker, or... he might get exposed for being too left-handed - not to mention being lazy on defense.

I also really think some team ends up in love with the last name and drafts him way higher than expected.

Very bad.

So is Khryi a Sterling Brown sort of player in a sense?

Khyri, Bates-Diop, Brunson

I don't feel good about any of them. Hope a big falls.

RiotPunch · Post #50 » by **RiotPunch** » Fri Jun 1, 2018 8:58 pm

Zhaire, Huerter, DiVincenzo.

But I like a lot of those guys listed.

Sorry, I went with the PG that won player of the year and who I think is going to be a really solid PG. Is Shamorie Ponds a quick enough scoring guard for you? Khyri Thomas defended him well too.

Watch on YouTube

Kind of, 3&D players. I think Khyri is a better shooter and I'd give him the edge on defense as well.

Well we can’t really have too many of those guys in the modern NBA so why not if nothing else?

I understand and could get behind going for a player with more upside like Zhaire Smith over Khyri. Especially with Coach Buds history of developing players. I just think Thomas is going to be a really solid player and I see Avery Bradley in him. Which is a player I've wanted on the Bucks for a long time.

He worked out for the Blazers (pick 24) today. Workouts upcoming with Nuggets (14), Bucks (17), Spurs (18), Lakers (25), and Nets (29). Projected mid-to-late 1st.

Went with Okogie, Troy Brown, & Huerter out of the options. Bates-Diop is my #1 though

Baddy Chuck · Post #58 » by **Baddy Chuck** » Fri Jun 1, 2018 10:44 pm

Zhaire Smith kinda reminds me of Ronnie Brewer. I'm not sure whether I like or don't like that.

Post #59 » by **ReasonablySober** » Fri Jun 1, 2018 11:26 pm

I'm gonna run this for a week, screenshot the results, then update the options with guys like Gary Trent Jr or anyone else reportedly working out for the Bucks.

TroyD92 · Post #60 » by **TroyD92** » Fri Jun 1, 2018 11:33 pm

I like Thomas or Smith at 17.

I'm hoping we find our way into the late first and pickup Vanderbilt/Robinson.

Who Do You Want at #17 - Pick 3
