RealGM Consensus Mock - #7

[El Chivo]

is Dyson Daniels a longer Derrick White?

love the fit for Eason in Portland.

-Portland has a gaping hole at the PF spot
-Eason went to HS in the pacific northwest
-I can see Billups being a good coach for eason, who can really connect with him and get through to him. Billups played alongside a PF with kind of a similar game who also had an intense on court demeanor (Rasheed wallace) and they won a title together. Billups is a young, strong black man who has been there and done that, won a title, had a hall of fame playing career.
-Eason being a little bit of an older prospect is also a good thing for portland because they're a team that needs to win now - they have a small window to try and quickly get back into the playoff picture, with Lillard getting up there in age
-the 7 spot is just right for Eason. Not really a reach. With his size, strength, skill set, athleticism at age 20, he's decent value in that spot

Lillard, Anfernee Simmons and Eason is a solid core. Then i think the blazers make a run at signing Ayton at center. Blazers have a bunch of cap space freed up after trading mccollum, nance, covington and powell - they can give Ayton that max contract.

Lillard, Ayton, Simmons, Eason. They can get back into the playoffs next year.

is Dyson Daniels a longer Derrick White?

white is 6'4". If he was 6'8" (like daniels is) and if white was only 19 yrs old he'd absolutely be a top 7 pick in the draft.

Daniels is 6'6'' (White is 6'3.25'').

white listed at 6'4" here:

Daniels at the combine measured 6'7.5". They round up if you're a half inch over so he would be officially listed at 6'8"

That's in shoes. White was measured 6'4.5'' in shoes.

[BlazersBroncos]

White measured 6'4.5" in shoes at age 22 (And a month or so from 23), Dyson was 6'7.5" in shoes 2-3 months into being 19.

There is a good chance Dyson keeps on growing for a bit, he is close to 4 years younger than White was coming out.

Definitely not a good chance he keeps growing. It's rare for guys to grow noticeably past 18

Almost certain Daniels is the pick if he's here at 7.

Portland has to love Daniels agreeing to do a group workout for them instead of the usual individual
workout. He's unlikely to ever be a star player but is so similar to Jonathan Kuminga, who also
went 7th in last years draft to the GSW out of the same G League ignite team.

If Daniels is gone at 7, likely Portland will trade down for one of Sharpe, Murray, Ivey has to be there
at 7 and they should be able to draft one of Eason or Sochan while picking up an additional pick or
player for the drop down.
