2020-2021 College/Draft Thread Part 3

[Huey Freeman]

This is a stacked draft so we better come out of it with some dudes.

I don't know where people are mocked but I haven't heard anything about DJ Carton so hopefully we get him with one of our picks.

Yeah, this cat attacks the basket strong. Seems to be a good finisher.

No it wouldn't. He's a good rotation wing that offers reliable outside shooting at a position we need depth in.

Its the 19th pick, what are you expecting?

To me it’s more disappointing if we take (two) older guys but I could live with one older guy + a high upside player for example

Duarte + Hyland
Duarte + Tre Mann

I doubt thibs plays the rookie anyway so go with the higher upside pick at 19….

Like a Zaire Williams or tre Mann if they’re available!!!!

Heck even bj Boston!!!!!!!!

what do people think about Alperen Sengun? Is he someone worth trading up for? James Bouknight, Davion Mithchell, or Keon Johnson are who I'd want if we traded up, I was wondering who else is worth trading up.

Sengun is intriguing but really reminds me of Enes Kanter or Al Jefferson but a slightly better passer than both. He's talented but wouldn't really fit here with Randle, Toppin, and Mitch already in house and with the fact he doesn't project as a good defender in space or at the rim (poor athleticism). If we take another big, it will likely be because someone really good fell or a back up in round 2. If he's there at #32, take him cause that offensive production off the bench for 3 years could help, but I wouldn't invest in a throwback center with limited defensive upside.

Good thing we don't need a point guard.

Let's get as many guys in here as we can with NO ONE TO PASS THEM THE FCKING BALL

Generally speaking, bpa is usually a better bet than drafting for need.

However,,,, when the need is a glaring one, at some point you have to factor that in.

Especially considering there appear to be a lot of viable options there where we are slated to pick

I hear you but I don’t think the draft is the option to rectify that problem!!!!

Especially with thibs at coach!!!!!

Our new starting pg will come via the draft or free agency!!!!

I just question the idea of getting another SG. On the low RJ and IQ are the SGs. Replacing Burks scoring is cool as a concept but we had burks and that didn't stop teams from doubling up Randle and putting their toughest individual defender on RJ

Someone like that could still find minutes in the rotation. He's capable of playing off ball so Thibs doesn't have to rely on him to do much with the ball. He comes from a good program and brings experience so he might be a rotation player depending on free agency.

We got another pick right after 19 so if they wanted to use it on an upside player they could. Even with the 2nd rounder, there's options for an upside pickup there as well.

Fair enough!!!!!

I just don’t think we’ll use both picks and I’d rather go for upside with the pick we’ll use!!!!

We can always find another rotation guard via fa!!!!

But I get what you’re saying!!!!!
