2020 NBA Draft Thread

Great year if you need a point. Outside of the obvious guys that will be gone (Anthony, Hampton, Maledon, Ball) there’s a lot to love in guys like Haliburton, Hayes, Mannion, Jones,

From the arguably little I've seen I'm very low on Hampton. Mind you that is exclusive based on HS tape.

Watch some Breakers tape, specifically his game against Ball. Really shows the depth to his game. Great feel/anticipation, good handles, willing defender, high level competitor, obviously very good athlete and fabulous stroke. He's skinny as hell, but he looks Top-5 material to me so far.

A player I'd follow as a possible target for the Bucks is Amar Sylla - from Senegal and I believe playing in Belgium this season. Just turned 18 and a long skinny 6'10 now - we'll have to see how much weight his frame can hold. He's a tremendous defender - excellent lateral quickness for a 6'10 guy. He played on Euro champion under 18 Real Madrid team but was overshadowed by Usman Garuba - who's thicker at 6'9 and could be a top 3 pick in the 2021 draft. Sylla had to move to PF, and that might help force him to develop more skills.

Pretty striking resemblance to a young Giannis' game/tools from what I've seen so far.

Keep an eye on A.J. Lawson.
