2020 Draft Thread

[TB]

Something I'm not really seeing is, and I apologize if I've missed it, but is anyone worried about Steph's return mucking up our top 3 chances? There's 20 games in March/April. The schedule is brutal. But there are at least 6 winnable games, With maybe a game or three potentially there to be stolen. There are 6 teams within 6 games of us.

Maybe I have PTSD from the years spent discussing the Niner's top pick strategy only to have late season meaningless wins derail that.

Well to land a top 4 pick, being in the bottom 5 record wise pretty much gives you the same dice roll. So we are likely looking at a 50% (ish) chance of landing top 4 regardless of what happens. That being said, winning the tank race is the only way to guarantee a top 5 spot.

I'm not too worried about it either way... there are no clear cut top picks, we have zero depth to actually go on a serious win streak, and i'd rather see Steph get some games in with Wiggins and the young guys this year than waiting until training camp to start building something.

Depending on what his Combine measurements are and his overall performance this season.. MAKUR MAKER?

Watch on YouTube

He's a 7 fter with PG instincts (He's played a bit at the position) with good handles (Willing passer) and has a good shooting stroke (Just needs to maintain and keep consistency). A bit slow for his 1st-step, but hopefully his bball iq/vision will compensate over his athletic ability. Reminds you of another 7 foot shooter with handles?.. Though, both talent and intangibles go along way if you possess both.

They shipped out Burks and GR3 to make sure the team doesn't win games when Curry comes back.

An outlet for Kentucky basketball says his wingspan is 7-6 or 7-7, by comparison Durants was a little over 7-4. If Maker is available we have to take him, we need size and length. Now I don't know if you would take him over Wiseman but his draft eligibility definitely strengthens our options. A big guys development alongside Wiggins can prolong our run. A center that can run and bring the ball up changes a lot.

Of course it is possible he impresses at the combine and a rebuilding team throws us a good deal with the TPE.

Makur Maker is a decent talent but the dude doesn't any dog in him, high bust potential

[clyde21]

how about this, we swap picks with Orlando and trade Wiggins for Gordon?

Orlando gets: 1st overall pick, Andrew Wiggins

We get: 15th overall pick, Aaron Gordon

No thanks that deal sucks.

Wiggins>>Gordon

1st overall>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>15th overall.

Cmon clyde, you can't be serious.

[freypies]

Yeah, I have to agree with Coxy there.

I vastly prefer Wiggins + 1st over Gordon + 15th. I just don't see how Gordon is an upgrade to the point where we give up a top 5 pick for a 15th. I'm all for trading down, but I think we should get more value than that.

I don't think he'll be in the top 10. Seems like he'll be projected into the late 1st round (15 - 20s; Even early second round) as he's not even played collegiate basketball.

So, his draft position will solely be based on how well he does at Phoenix Hillcrest Prep and pre-draft process (Combines). He can withdraw from the draft in April (If he declares for it). He does possess some potential since he's still young. He's a low risk, high reward-type where you just need him to gain experience (AKA a project in the G League).

Wouldn't be surprised if he enters the 2021 draft instead.

Then Maker had a good year or two and then disappeared.

Assuming you're talking about Thon, he's actually player quite well since Drummond was shipped out

Has a mean fly kick on him too

There are some young Filipinos that are still having nightmares of the “Flying Maker” coming to boot their childhood in the face.

almost certain to join this upcoming class. 2021 would be a mistake i think if he declared then. If you can get him to play with any kind of motor you'd have a talent on your hands. I've just yet to see any "want to" from him even in higher profile matchups.

[AdonalFoyle4Prez]

He doesn't have the "Prove your doubters wrong" vibe from a couple mix-tapes of him (Though, these are mixtapes display their raw level of talent; not really polished skillsets since it's probably amateur bball at best).

Right now, he reminds me of poor man's Lamar Odom/Anthony Randolph (aka Baby Jesus to some of the older folks in the last decade).

This video actually makes me rethink my anti Wiseman bias. He looks a bit stronger than I thought. I wouldn't hate this pick if Warriors get lucky enough to land the top pick.

Okoro building his case as the ultimate glue guy while he's been hurt... two games out, two losses for Auburn. One against a pretty bad Mizzo team and the other against Georgia who they beat by 20 last time they played.

So they say Edwards and Ball are risks. Edwards is a freak athlete but undisciplined and asked to do too much at Georgia. THey'd be trying to maximize his athletic ability the same way they are trying to do with Wiggins.

Wiseman not worth it at all.

Warriors should trade down or trade the pick with the TPE for someone like Gordon they say, because chances are, there are no players in the draft ready to be significant players for another 3-4 years.

I'm not as high on Okoro because he is simply not a good shooter. If we could get him outside the lottery I'd be on board.That being said, I am coming around to the idea of trading down with a team like Minnesota for both of their #1s to draft Haliburton (would be the #2 PG next season) and to take a flier on a high upside player like McDaniels who needs a lot of development.

I fully disagree on Wiseman. And if he's there and we are picking, it will be a huge mistake to bypass him.
