You go to watch the projected #1 pick and you walk away knowing Kessler is the best player on the team

I think this this everytime I watch auburn (and jabari is great, no slight). He's so agile! I think Walker has the frame to fill out as well. He's going to be a beast. especially if he ends up on a team with a good point guard.

Watching Michigan-Ohio State. Diabate looks really comfortable guarding a good freshman 2 guard in Branham. Slides his feet so well. Scoring well the last couple games on cuts now that Dickinson is a real threat from 3, but lots of guys would be getting buckets on chances like that.
Where's the D?

Glad I identified his potential but sad that someone else is going to draft him in the lottery.
Sometimes I wonder if Jabari Smith will be like Vin Baker/Joe Smith.

Re: Official 2022 Draft Thread
Liddell is a nice kinda 30 year old Paul Millsap type (not the same rebounder though), but he takes forever in the post to get to his (excellent) jumper because he's not that big or quick. It's like the opposite of how easy Barnes gets good post up looks quite effortlessly.

That is a good comparison. Lots of similarity in their games watching Gobert video, if teams see that he might go late lotto but probably not. A solid first rounder.

I am not sure his quickness and vertical are comparable to Stewart.

Followed the draft threads closely last year. I can't recall a single time a realgmer brought up Banton as a second round pick. Which is crazy to think about because you think we wouldve seen the Raptors draft profile in him + Canadian

Isaiah Mobley?
If he goes undrafted could just sign with Cavs and play with his bro.

6'10 and shoots the 3 at 40% over the last 2 seasons. A/T of 2.

Looks like a young Marc Gasol. Also - my favourite part of that video is dan schulman. I wish he would do play-by-play for Raps.

Maybe. Just wish he was a little more mobile/aggressive, especially on defense. The shooting is nice though. Gives me Channing Frye vibes. I believe we worked him out last year, so there's obviously some level of interest.
