It also goes to say just how weak this draft is in real life. Definitely not the year to have high hopes for a franchise or even All-Star player. Some serviceable players for sure, some guys that I like the long term upside but it's another year tanking for some GM's here in BAF unless they trade a ton for a good young player which ain't happening.

Me personally I would take quit a few prospects in this draft over cam. To each his own though.

I'm on my Hoffa, I'm just trying to stir up trouble over here. The rest of the offseason is going to be quiet in Utah, unless someone comes calling for the services of Vonleh or Exum. I have a draft pick to make and someone in free agency is going to get paid.

If we're just going off college, I still think Cam's a top 10 pick this draft, maybe top 5

Kinda depends on how you value Toppin and Okongwu, who definitely have the production but are older and play a less valuable position. Then you have guys like Hayes and Avdija who are complete projects too, so I could see someone picking Cam high

Oh yeah. Cam is still a top 10 pick in this. But I could make arguments for a few guys you mentioned over Reddish.

Onyeka Okongwu is probably the only guy that comes close to long term potential to me, but he has some things he needs to overcome. It's like you said, it's all subjective, but this draft ain't it for me. Guys I like for certain roles, some guys will have niches but eh, just don't see it.

Wiseman, Edwards, LaMelo, and Hayes have a lot of potential too. And all are super young prospects like Reddish was.

I think Reddish has a lot of talent I also think he has a more passive mindset when say a prospect like Anthony Edwards is more of a alpha type guy.

Now that might mean more bad shots for Edwards but I think if we are talking high end I think you need to have more of a killer approach.

Wiseman to me looks like the new version of Hassan Whiteside.
Edwards gives me poor mans DeRozan vibes.
LaMelo gives me Livingston vibes (Before Injury) with a Nick Young irrational confidence.

Hayes I'll be the first to admit I didn't really follow this year at all, I'd just be going off mixes and other peoples opinion really.

Reddish reminds me way too much of Harrison Barnes

Which honestly, is that a bad thing? Barnes biggest knock from people is that he's overpaid. Can play either forward spot, shoots the three extremely well and understands his role. Reddish will probably be a better on ball defender than Barnes, but it all comes down to whether or not he plays under control. If he's out there trying to do double 360 layups, that'll hurt him, but before the stoppage he was really coming into his own. Also what will his three point percentage be? If he can keep it at around 36/38%, with his ability to attack and run in transition, he's gonna be good. I think he can be a Caron Butler type with a better three if all things click for him.
