I was so close to mocking him to Chicago in the mock draft challenge, lol. I don't think it's a huge reach, there is a clear top 12 (I'd argue 13, add Nesmith) and Williams is a part of it. After the first three guys, I don't really see a huge difference between 4-12.

Can we not spoil picks in this thread? I'm specifically avoiding the other one because of it.

Oh, and agreed.

Williams is the only pick I got right in the top 4.

His scouting report scares me.

Sorry and no problem moving forward.

OKC wants Poku, right?

Is that what they are moving up for?

That’s been the reporting for a while.

Could also move up further, in which case it’s not Poku.

For a wild draft night full of trades and intrigue, this has been pretty mild mannered.

Post #1277 » by **Texas Chuck** » Thu Nov 19, 2020 1:41 am

was afraid Dallas might take Poku so like OKC jumping them to take him.

As mentioned in the other thread, Shams is spoiling picks. I won't post them here (and request that you don't either) but feel free to check his Twitter feed if that appeals to you!

The most comparable draft to me was the pre-lockout draft with all the financial uncertainty and there were 2 trades of note involving veterans (Stephen Jackson and George Hill). I expect a trade or 2 of that caliber this draft.

As a reference...

https://www.espn.com/nba/draft2011/news/story?id=6692627

If I counted correctly only 3 top 20 picks were traded and one of them barely made the cut at 19. None if the top 5.

Stephen Jackson and George Hill in 2011 are about the same caliber of player I see traded going into a very uncertain draft due to no college season in a very uncertain financial off-season.

Which 2020 players equal Stephen Jackson and George Hill of 2011? Aaron Gordon and Derrick White?

As reference ... So far only 1 top 20 pick has been dealt.
