Official 2022 Draft Thread

[JShuttlesworth]

Watched a bit of Duke-Virginia. Wendell Moore's shot looked inconsistent in terms of arc and Mark Williams looked awkward as hell trying to post up.

I'm not high on either of them

Duren has really dropped

Yeah, but they're in our range and fit our needs (Williams obviously, but Moore too if you buy his shooting).

My guess is the following will be gone when we pick:

Banchero, Chet, Jabari, Ivey, Davis, Mathurin, Sharpe, Mathurin, Griffin, TyTy, Murray, Baldwin, Daniels, Beauchamp, Agbaji, Duren, Kendall Brown

That's 17 guys and right now we pick 20th, so add 2 more picks before us. Let's say Jovic because he's the top Euro, Eason because he's a big wing with good stats and shooting improvement.

With those guys gone, I can't say there's someone who I've seen and love. Maybe we will move the pick tomorrow just because we don't love anyone from the Sochan-Wesley-Christie-Williams-Moore-Ingram-Hardy-Keels-McGowens bracket.

I haven't really done my due diligence like I did last year, but Kendall Brown is someone who caught my eye. I know he's been mentioned a lot in this thread, but I'm just here to throw my hat on his bandwagon too. For now...

I also like Walker Kessler, JD Davidson, Justin Lewis, and Jaden Hardy.

Brown has the tools but he's too raw. He can't shoot. Not a scorer. He's athletic and a good, not lockdown, defender. But his recent games haven't been very good. No issues with the others on your list - good players. Kessler might end up being a shot blocking Plumlee which is a rotational player. The Pllumlees are a little more athletic but I mean a serviceable big that can chew up minutes.

I can't dispute any of what you're saying because I haven't seen enough of him. But at first glance he reminds me a bit of a Keldon Johnson type of player.

[DreamTeam09]

Again, if we keep our pick, I've narrowed down to Beauchamp. Big wing player, looks like he has some star potential, still young, just be a hard worker because he was in community college last year, and is now putting up #s in the GLeague.

+ We haven't had a wing player with bounce in forever

Wow, he's actually amazing and I'm writing this without even finishing the vid. His defensive presence suffocates them. Hits 3s too. Sign me up

Duren has really dropped

Hope he drops all the way to us, just remember he just turned 18 a few months ago, put that into perspective.

Harrison Barnes was once 18 and projected 1st overall. Kwame Brown was once 18 and drafted #1.

@ 0:15 Jabari Smith helps but should drop and the oppposing player is wide open for the dunk but Kessler from the foul line takes 2 steps and blocks the dunk from behind.

Yeah he's like Chet a little, but doesn't look as scrawny. Can he dribble / I'm a watch some more highlites now.

Draft express has
Beauchamp at 18
Kessler at 19
And us taking Orlando Robinson at 20.

I don't know who Orlando is but Beauchamp n Kessler in our range is amazing

Harrison Barnes was once 18 and projected 1st overall. Kwame Brown was once 18 and drafted #1.

He's not projected to be no 1 we're projected to pick in the late teens/twenties, he drops to us he's a steal. Raw athlete with a mean streak and great length that Masai and Nurse can mold.

I've seen enough of Jalen Duren, just a physically dominant player at 18 yrs old, 6'11 250 lbs and probably not down growing, just an impressive physical specimen that reminds me of a KG/Dwight Howard hybrid.

James Wiseman?

James Wiseman?

Duren is a lot stronger than Wiseman, he plays a power game reminiscent of Dwight Howard and has a smooth mid range like KG. He also has huge bear paws 10 inch plus and close to 7'6 wingspan, he's a prototypical Masai pick if he's available.

Wiseman is a lot better prospect than Duren. Let's not get crazy here.

[Reeko]

OT but has anyone else heard about this Canadian kid Leonard Miller? He's still a senior in high school, but he's a 6'10 SG that can score at all three levels.

We're obviously not going to get him, but damn Chet Holmgren has been absurd lately

17.4/10.8/1.8/1/3.3 on 68.5/60/75 shooting splits his past 8 games. Just absurd.

Sooo who we like at 31?
