2020 NBA Draft Thread, Part 2 -- (8PM, Wed, Nov. 18, ESPN)

I might get killed for this but I actually like Isaiah Stewart at 26 if they decide to take a big man. Really high motor, good rebounder and low post scorer, and looks like he’ll have a nice pick and pop game.

Former top 10 recruit as well which we know Ainge loves lol. Defensively is a bit of a question since he played in a zone in college but he projects as a Kanter level replacement imo.

Long but really good video breakdown:

I like him. We could use someone who's not afraid to dog it up down low. Sort of a bigger Kenneth Faried. I think his effort and length could make up for some of his defensive limitations. He'll be more playable than Kanter. But yeah, he's definitely not a Brad/DA type of center. But hey, he's below 6'10" so maybe they'll consider him.

Im all in on Isaiah Stewart at 26 if he’s still around. He shot 42.7% on 2pt J’s last year and 77.4% on FTs— there are definitely indicators of him being able to shoot one day. Given his motor and work ethic, I’m optimistic he’ll get there.

He wont ever be a great defender, but I could see him becoming a Montrezl Harrell level player on the right team. Think we’d be a great fit for him.

Isaiah Joe is the must get for me with our 26 or 30. This guy is going to light it up from 3 right away. I would love to see him as a shooter off the bench.

I think we are going to see him jump up draft boards as we get closer to the draft. Much like Cam Johnson did.

High volume. Silky smooth. Get FT shooter. catch and shoot and step backs. This guy can really shoot it.

FINALLY, someone else preaching the Joe game.

I love this kid. high volume high conversion 3pt shooter. Exactly what you need off the bench imo. Raptors interviewed him recently, so I think he is gone by 30. Didnt shoot as good this past season, his 42% 3pt average dropped to 35% but on 10 attempts per game.

26 seems like the right spot for him, with, imo, his range being anywhere from 22-35. If not for his body/weight he would be alot higher in the draft.

Agreed. Someone is gonna leap. You don't have to watch him long to see that he shot is easy and quick with DEEP range.

Definitely could be gone by 26.

He has a 7’4 wingspan and a 9’1 reach, not sure thats really undersized.

That was going to be my comment as well. He is strong, a good rebounder/defender, high motor, and has a good post game. On the negative side of the ledger, he is not explosive (doesn't have great leaping ability), footspeed/overall quickness is not a strength.

Stewart
6'9". 250lbs, 7'4" wingspan, 9'1" reach not explosive. slower footspeed

Timelord
6'8". 240lbs. 7'5.5" wingspan, 9'4" Standing reach. Hyper athletic with a 40" verticle, very quick feet. Also developing a nice jumper out to 22 feet.

I would not use a pick on a lesser Timelord.

[itrsteve]

I hope Brad uses the first part of the season (whenever that is) to give RW3 some serious minutes - we wouldn't have to be so center-hungry if we let him grow into the player he's suppose to be.

Believe me—I’m all in on RWIII.

Its on a Kanter replacement. We’ll prob punt him this year and Theis will prob price himself out of Boston next year. Getting a decent backup big aint the worst thing.

Hypothetical:

If we traded Smart+14 to GS for 2, who would be your ideal pick?

Would rather Azibuke than Stewart for a Kanter replacement IMO. Wouldn’t hate either at 30.

If Kanter opts in he should be dealt, need to open up room for Timelord and likely Harry Giles

Lamelo
A big guard with defensive potential who can handle the ball and hopefully shoot a little. If he's like Lonzo except capable of creating baskets for himself he would be worth Smart + 14.

A somewhat plugged-in poster in the first thread said we're looking at Yurtseven in Georgetown. Think Kanter with some range..

sounds a bit like Kelly Olynik.

First I'd buy a pallet of sugar so I had enough on hand to pour in Zarren's gas tank every few weeks and then I'd take Hayes. Or just stay at 14 and get the same quality player and I wouldn't have to buy the sugar.

[AgentGreen]

Theres no guarantee at all; however, we have the 14th pick in a crap draft thats very similar to 2013. This is our last shot at taking a home run swing. Passing on a potential unicorn to get a guy who can contribute right away is ludicrous to me.

Do you think he'll be gone before we pick at 26?

LOL you think this guy would actually play under Brad Stevens?

He does most of the things that Brad demands from his players. Brad gives you the feeling that you have to earn minutes. If you make a bad pass or a poor defensive move, he'll sub you. Poku has the potential to accept these challenges from Brad to keep his playing minutes and perhaps might even be a starter in the future. If Theis can earn a starting position eventually then Poku has a big chance as well.

Look how skinny Durant was when he played for the Longhorns.
