I'm thinking that Bouknight goes as early as 6. I think the Warriors like him a 7 too.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

I agree. I just have a gut feeling he's going to be a great player in this league.

If he stays... Bye Malik

25 ppg vs ranked opponents. This kid will be big time.

Love the pick. A lot of upside and protects ourselves if Rozier leaves. When Mitch says he's going to draft the BPA he means it.

WOW....never expected him to be there. I was even pondering if we would trade up with GS to ensure we got Bouknight or Moody.

Love it!

I went with a C. He's being billed as a shooter yet shot below 30% from 3pt. That isn't a shooter.

That and he makes me think of Monk. Who is more than likely gone, which I'm ok with. Also makes me think of JR Smith.

I feel like with Mitch, these drafts now have meaning. He really knows exactly what to do and I am happy to see the growth of this team.

Bouknight will be a much better shooter in our/NBA system

He basically was tasked with doing it all at UCONN just like Sexton

I'm fine with it. Let's see how he develops.

Only drawback is I feel like we've never had a great player from UConn here. Scott Burrell, Jeremy Lamb, Jeff Adrien, Roy Hibbert...then again, there was that one guy...

Emeka Okafor was very good prior to injuries.

Bouknight looks like Gary Harris.

Was my guy from the get-go. I'm super happy he made it to us and think he's a phenomenal fit in the 2 guard between Melo/Miles long term and can be a 20+ ppg threat while also being a high level secondary ballhandler who can take a lot of pressure off Melo
