Let Allen become a stretch 5 next to Zion.

He can shoot threes, though.

Makes no sense... Fro's strength is based around being elite pick-n-roll player...

His jumper isn't broken or anything, he's just never had to use it. I think it's reasonable to think he could develop a respectable 3P shot in the NBA. There's certainly precedent - Kawhi was a bit of a bruiser in college with a <30% 3P%. Draymond didn't start attempting 3s until his junior year in college.

(Only the first 20 seconds are relevant here)

Short frame tho - at 6'6'' with average sized arms it'll be tough (damn near impossible) to get that shot off against NBA sized 4s who are often 7ft tall

7 feet tall? maybe in 1982. the average PF right now is 6'8.75" not even centers are all 7 foot. we played a 6'7" RHJ at center the past 2 games.

the guy also has a 40 inch verticle and a lefty release. i doubt he will ahve any issue getting his shot off vs anyone

Outside of Lauri Markkanen and Kristaps Porzingas who is over 7 feet tall playing PF?

How do you know he'll be playing PF? He has NBA wing level athleticism, handle and his jumper does not look broken.

I would draft him without thinking twice about it. he's an athletic freak.

Even with the injury to the LeVert, I don't think the Nets will be top 3 bad to get Zion/RJ/Cam cause the other teams ahead of them are realll bad and wouldn't be interested in a trade down. They'll probably be around 4-6 imo. That being said, there's still good talent to get, but where the Nets are going to will be interesting and probably signal their FA plans.

I think Nassir Little and Quentin Grimes are the players they'd target if they're in the 4-6 range as of now.

My dude is still Keldon Johnson. I probably need to broaden my spectrum lol, but I'm riding with KJ right now.

Zion is the obvious, but after him, KJ it is for me.

These are also 2 guys I'm high on, especially Little. I wouldn't be shocked if Little winds up the best player out of this draft yet goes like 4th to 9th.

We don't necessarily need to be bottom 3 bad to get top 3 pick with the changes to the lottery.

At this point we need the best talent rather than position fit, especially with Caris able to slide from 1 to 2 (possibly even 3)

Anyone seen Jaylen Hoard play yet? He's putting up some pretty big numbers thus far for a freshman, though his shooting percentages leave a lot to be desired. I haven't caught Wake yet this year.
