I think Miles McBride is a must take at our spot in the draft but he'll likely go earlier. His game absolutely translates to the next level.

Kobble, who are the top 10 guys for you in this draft? And who are the top 3-5 perimeter scoring playmakers here?

Kobble said KD wasn’t a shot creator, I don’t think he’s particularly qualified to make these types of assessments anymore :wink:

Just to follow up because I got caught up in other work, I think he's a taller, bigger FVV type player. I brought it up before, but his only mark against him is his low 2FG% which I do believe can be fixed at the next level. Other than that, every stat he has suggests elite:

Advanced: .346 career FTr, .307 career 3PAr, 3.1 STL%, 28.5 AST% to 11.1 TOV%, 6.5 OBPM, 3.0 DBPM
Shooting profile: 81% FT, 41% 3FG (58.7% assisted), 37.1% 2FG jumpers (18.2% assisted, 48.9% of shots)

He plays elite defense and led them to a top ten ranking as the alpha scorer and distributor. He turns 21 in Sept. I think he is a 3&D if everything falls apart, but has the handle and offensive creation upside to be an all star.

As far as creation goes, in no particular order:
Jalen Green
Tre Mann
James Bouknight
Jalen Suggs
Cade

Ziaire Williams is almost 6'10 in shoes? That's gotta help his stock.

Scotty Pippen and Aaron Wiggins looked like the only competent players in that G-League game towards the end. The middle of the game was brutal to watch, however. Lots of turnovers and silly mistakes from both of them.

Wait you’re missing Boogie Bouknight. Dude has a very good chance to an NBA scorer as soon as he acclimates.

DCasey91 · Post #592 » by **DCasey91** » Thu Jun 24, 2021 3:19 am

One of my boys Trey Murphy slowly rising

Also Joe Weiskamp could be one of the best sleeper picks this year along with Ayo.

Is JT thor in this draft? i saw him on tankathon a while back, but he's not on there now. Anyone know anything about him?

A video of him shooting at the combine was posted this week on the draft forum, guess he's still in for now

seems like he has length and "shooting potential" - to me he seems like a tweener who's too small to be a primary 5 and can't move well enough to be a 4

Negrodamus · Post #595 » by **Negrodamus** » Thu Jun 24, 2021 3:51 pm

Wait, EJ Onu is 6'11 with a 7'8.5 wingspan? Shot 47% from 3 and 74% from FT. My goodness. 17ppg his senior year at Shawnee State, but those numbers are eye popping.

He's still in the draft for now. Withdraw deadline is July 7th.

He's one of the most high variance prospects in this draft. Could amazing or could be the next Thon Maker.

Defensively, he moves his feet very well and has very good hands in generating deflections. However, he's one of the most physically weak players in this draft and was pushed around on the boards at the college level. Could be obliterated at the NBA level. Post defense will be very bad, too.

Offensively, a lot of upside. Intriguing upside as a shooter and a face-up driver from the high post.

Look I like Christopher a ton. That doesn’t mean he still has work to do (shot, facilitating defense)

Great size for his position and loves to use it. That’ll hold him very well

Kobblehead · Post #599 » by **Kobblehead** » Fri Jun 25, 2021 11:38 pm

I think there's a difference between a pick and roll creator and a guy that can iso and run pick and roll. We need to aim for the latter, IMO.

Post #600 » by **Foshan** » Sat Jun 26, 2021 9:25 am

will he even be around at our pick? Is he someone you move up for?
