Wiseman could essentially be another Andre Drummond, which in today's NBA isn't exactly a good thing.
He is slow off his feet, takes forever to get his jump shot off, and as strange as it sounds, he comes across as somewhat uncoordinated to me - too big to make a lot of fluid movements like a massive bodybuilder would be limited in certain movements.
He also reminds me of a bigger Marvin Bagley but not in a good way. Also he's got great top speed, but in the half court from a stand still his acceleration isn't great.
Okongwu could essentially be another Clint Capela, which again is not exactly a good thing in today's NBA and I'm surprised people are unable to see that. The comparisons to Bam Adebayo aren't apt imo and are more a product of comparing him with a flavor of the month who has the same physical profile rather than actually stepping back and really analysing.
This isn't a good draft at all. It's one of the weakest drafts (if not the weakest) of the past ten years so if we were to move up any year this would be the year. Personally I'd either stay where we are with the picks, trade the picks for underrated players already in the NBA atm, or at 14 just draft one of several players that could be available.
An option I would consider if I was Minnesota would be trading the first pick in the draft to Atlanta for John Collins if Atlanta aren't too enthusiastic on resigning him. There aren't many players from this draft I'm confident will end up as good as him.

I think your description would be closer to Wiseman's floor, but I definitely wouldn't make that trade..

I was shocked at each of our picks at who was still on the board. Of course, Danny screwed it up, but still. This is similar to last year where the idiots who run these bad teams in the lottery who don't know what they're doing, will take big names instead of great projectable players. This bodes well for us.

You wouldn't make the trade if you were Minnesota, or you wouldn't make the trade if you were Atlanta?
BostonCouchGM wrote:it gets tiring every year reading everyone parrot the so-called experts claiming the upcoming draft is a weak class. Besides 2017, seemingly every year they say this and every year they've been dead wrong. It's worse this year because of the lost season so these supposed scouts have so little information to go on therefore the talking heads who rely on these usually clueless scouts are in the dark like never before. I promise you at each of our picks, there'll be a potential starter or even star, available to draft. Almost assuredly Danny will choose the wrong player though. And like after most of his drafts, I'll be left on an island telling everyone how bad the picks were, hammered by everyone for it, only to be proven right once games start or year(s) down the road when they don't amount to anything special. But who knows, maybe this will be the year Danny knocks it out of the park and saves our season and salvages the last vestiges of his war chest and of course if that happens, his apologists will conveniently forget all the wasted picks.
The more I study up on this draft class and read the various mocks and Big Boards, the more excited I become because if they're at all accurate it means some of the best players in this draft will fall to us like with what happened last year.

Can you name some of these players so we can see how good you are at evaluating talent.

Drummond is 100% my comp for Wiseman.
