Indiana Pacers Draft Pick Watch Thread

[Ruzious]

Bit late to the draft research and watching game tapes, but is it just me or does Cole Anthony give off a lot of Jennings vibes? Not even in a negative way, I just saw a lot of him on offense in the games I watched and seems like he could be a similar type of scorer.

Jennings was much faster and a better finisher, while Anthony has a better jump shot - which doesn't say much.

Yea, Jennings was the first guy I thought of when watching Anthony.

Well alrighty then. It's funny how people don't remember how fast Jennings was. Anthony is nowhere near as fast. He's more comparable to Trey Burke.

Jennings with Cole Anthony's/Steph Curry's physical profile (6'3, 185 lbs) and a better mindset would be a hell of a player. I wouldn't view that as a negative comparison at all. Also, the Tyrell Terry love is giving me vibes of Tyus Jones all over again. I think Jones was probably the better prospect, and he turned into an incredibly average rotation player. Hopefully you bank on Terry being a more versatile shooter/scorer and not just a spot-up guy, but nothing in his college tape screams to me "dynamic offensive play-maker" quite like the hype is making him out to be.

The more I look into the 20-30 spot the more I just say move the pick and try to pick up a 30-45 pick you like.

I don't think they're really similar as players at all but the Bucks fan love for both of them is pretty similar.

Trading back at that range is 99% a bad idea. If you want a later pick try to buy one or trade future seconds.

Agreed, I think you’re going from guys with lottery level athleticism to guys without it that have a role player ceiling

[emunney]

Barring a player I like dropping unexpectedly, looking most closely at:

PG: Maledon
SG: Joe
SF: Woodard
PF: Reed
C: Azubuike

[Matches Malone]

Of the guys in our area, this would be my Top 5 for pick #24

1. Tyrell Terry
2. Josh Green
3. Robert Woodard
4. Theo Maledon
5. Cole Anthony

I think the 76ers are Tyrell Terry's floor personally but I see some scouts are saying he has a very wide range of where he could be drafted.

In today's ESPN mock they still have Terry going late 1st (28th).

Woelfel said Terry canceled a workout with us.

I don't think that rules out a promise though.

Which is why I would move the pick and try to pick up a second later.

Yes. My big board for 24 basically looks like this:

1. Whichever PG slides (guessing it'll be Cole Anthony or Tyrell Terry
2. Cassius Winston
3. Xavier Tillman
4. Robert Woodard
5. Desmond Bane

Now we're talkin'!

Hoping we buy a second to pick up Nate Hinton, that guy is fire

[emunney]

Fun to imagine Hinton in the Pat C. role.
