Man, it's crazy. The way he does his vids, I fall in love with the prospect in the beginning, thinking they're a lottery pick and then when he gets to the weaknesses section I'm thinking there's no way he could play in the NBA lol
Hall is currently projected to go in the 40-55 range..

That D may move him off my binkie list. Harrison Ingram up now, but I haven't watched it yet. Justin Lewis interests me as well.

USA Today - Marcus Bingham
Tankathon - Iverson Molinar

ESPN - Drew Timme
Out of the lot, only Braun looks like a Brad Stevens pick.

Yes. We have a 2nd rounder. Currently projected to be in the 49-51 range.zoyathedestroya wrote:Is the next Jokic or next Manu in this draft?
Possibly - you never know. In addition to Jokic and Manu, there's also hall of famer Ben Wallace who went undrafted. And the draft classes in 2021 and 2022 are deeper in terms of amount of quality players than there were back when those guys were draft eligible.
But more realistically, I'm thinking we just grab someone like a Gabe Brown/Vince Williams/Jake Laravia/Ron Harper Jr/Christian Braun/David Roddy/Darryl Morsell type - someone with good size, who is tough, physical, switchable defender who can hit shots.

Do you have thoughts on Keon Ellis or Dereon Seabron? I feel like we need some creation ability. They both look rough off ball, but for a bench guy could be OK and you hope they learn to shoot. And we know Ime'd make them play D before getting in, so I'm not worried about that. But, with Smart/White in the same boat shooting-wise.... might not be the best idea either.
Neither might last to us anyways. Would love to buy a pick early 2nd, but so would everybody, lol.

Keon Ellis - yeah, he's a guy i suppose I could've lumped in with that group i just rattled off. I like his defense - long, athletic. good, switchable defender. He checks the box in terms of defense, length and athleticism. But he's limited in terms of creating off the dribble. Ellis is a streaky shooter. But overall, he's just as good (maybe slightly better) shooter than some of the guys i named, like Morsell for example. Both Ellis and Morsell are pretty old too - which of course means less room to develop but on the plus side, more ready to come in and contribute right away. A big difference between Ellis and Morsell is frame - Ellis is really skinny, like one of the skinnier guys in the draft whereas Morsell has a very sturdy frame, almost built like a running back or even full back. With that being said, Ellis is a little quicker. So yeah, Ellis is a guy worth keeping an eye on and could possibly be a good fit here - will likely be available when we pick. Certainly worth keeping an eye out for Alabama (Ellis) and Marquette (Morsell) in march madness..
Seabron - interesting player. Has a decent amount of upside when you combine his length (6'7" with a 6'10" wingspan) + the fact that he's as good as anyone in the draft at getting to the rim and finishing at the rim. If he goes to the right team, works on his jumper and his defense, he could really turn into a really good NBA player. But that's a big IF. In the meantime, he kind of reminds me of like a 6'7" Dennis Schroder..Seabron is really good at getting to the rim but a) not good at much else and b) is that the best thing for the TEAM if he is really good at going isolation, taking his man off the dribble and playing hero ball? Seems like defenses started to adjust and towards end of the season, Seabron wasn't getting to the rim as easily anymore - seems like a decent chance he goes back to school for 1 more year to try and work on his game more and maybe be a 1st round (or early 2nd round) pick next year..

I believed we had a brief discussion about him earlier in the thread. I have trouble believing he'll fall far enough in the draft for the Celtics to get him but if he's there he would be my pick for sure. If there's one thing we know from Brad Stevens' tenure is that he likes shooting with size. The Celtics have also picked multiple draft and stash candidates in the second rounds recently as that gives them increased roster flexibility. So I could definitely see him being someone Boston is interested in.

They only do top 30, but fun for the draft junkies.
