2020 NBA Draft Prospects: Thread II

[TheDominator273]

Man the term jump shot was really used loosely in the description of LaMelo's shot video. I think the fact that it's a set shot along with the low release is still concerning, it does look better and he gets it off quickly but he will get blocked his fair share in the NBA.

To me his shot has almost zero chance of ever getting to the point of average.

From left to right we have Undrafted(Dunkin R 2018), Pick #13(Herro 2019), Pick #30(Butler 2011), and Pick #14 (Bam 2017).

That doesn't mean they don't have a one time #9 pick in Iguodala 2004. But he is 36 right now. Can't forget Crowder, a former #34 pick of 2012.

These players have more real basektball value to your team than the fake draft values that have been ruling your team building thoughts for years.

It doesn't matter if he's not accurate anyway.

Haliburton will annihilate some games with his shooting and it will be ultra fast, clean set shots and they will start a new religion based on this miracle that seems to defy the rules. A couple will get blocked by a defender throwing himself at the ball and it will go out of bounds and he'll take and make the next shot on the same shot clock because he doesn't hesitate so no one has time to get there.

That’s Goran Dragic not Duncan Robinson..... but still 45th pick

Great correction!

That’s why the #17 lotto ticket > $17M Gordon.

[Jedzz]

There are so many intriguing players in the 5 to 20 range this year. I really think this draft is going to look good in the future. Maybe worried about what's left by 17 a little. Celtics have picks 14, 26, 30. Probably trade them, but snipe positions before 17/33.
Looking at the Heat roster makes me want to add Vassel, S. Bey, Nesmith, some skill with size to be versitile SG/SF+ players.

6'3 190 lb Dragic PG
6'2 190 lb Nunn PG/SG
6'5 195 lb Herro SG
6'7 230 lb Butler PG/SG/SF
6'7 215 lb Robinson SF/SG
6'6 210 lb Jones Jr. SF/PF
6'6 215 lb Iguodala SG/SF/PF
6'6 230 lb Crowder PF/SF
6-11 240 lb Olynyk PF
6'9 255 lb Bam C/PF

With that attitude a draft pick would never be traded. Goran Dragic was the 45th pick so unless you get someone as good or better than him you can't trade even pick 45.

Now let's do the other team in the Finals.....

LeBron James: Pick #1
Anthony Davis: Pick #1
Dwight Howard: Pick #1

Even Dion Waiters was picked much higher than all those bad boys.

I like that we arу trying to add multiple ballhandlers, above-average passers into the rotation

5'11 185 JMac PG (ballhandler/passer)
6'4 195 DLo PG/SG
6'4 190 Beasley SG
6'4 200 Nowell SG
6'4 210 Evans SG
6'4 215 Okogie SF/SF

6'6 195 Culver SG/SF/PG (ballhandler/passer)
6'6 230 Kelan Martin SF/PF
6'9 210 Jake Layman SF/PF
6'9 215 Vanderbilt PF/C (ballhandler/passer)
6'9 215 Juancho PF
6'7 240 JJ PF/C (ballhandler/passer)
6'9 265 Reid С (passer)
6'11 250 KAT C (passer)

Precious Achiuwa has always been intriguing to me. Go back to his high school footage. He displays a comfort with the ball he didn't get a chance to show at Memphis. Sure, it may not be advanced, but it's better than most guys his size.

Bad decisions often led by media hype + lack of skilled scouting ... top it off with the commonality of players losing their mojo once the $$ rolls in

A lot if Lamelo fluff coming out today. What's going on?

It’s not an “attitude”. It’s a specific value proposition I said I wouldn’t make for Gordon.

I would definitely trade 45 for Dragic.

GIGANTIC swing and a miss by you.

So what's your point? Is it going to be the same to assemble Dlo/Towns/Booker? or Dlo/Towns/Oladipo? or Dlo/Towns/Simmons? Is this the point you are making? Let's see it.

Wolves have been trying to play the former high draft grade/value players in the past. It's not the draft grade that matters, it's the players.


2013
Brandon Roy Pick #6
Derrick Williams Pick #2
Rubio Pick #5
Love Pick #5


2014
Wiggins Pick #1
Bennet Pick #1
Rubio Pick #5
Garnett Pick #5
Brewer Pick #7
LaVine #13

2015
Towns Pick #1
Wiggins Pick #1
Garnett Pick #5
Rubio Pick #5
LaVine #13


Btw, Rondo former #21 pick. Fairly important in Houston/Denver series, 24mins, shooting 50% FG and 45% 3FG. Getting 10 shots a game. The good news for #5 pick Culver is Rondo has been shooting 55% FT in playoffs. You can suck at FT and still do other things.
