He looked like he was moving through quicksand in high school.

How would this extreme lack of athleticism and quickness not stood out in high level AAU vs other upper tier prospects?

I think he's lost some of his athleticism, but also, it did stand out against higher level teams. It sounds like he lit it up in HS but struggled to get by people on the AAU circuit and didn't shoot it very well from the perimeter either.

I'm good with Liddell. If there's a belief that he's our guy, well then, I believe it. He'll be our Grant Williams.

I'm sure it's just due diligence talking to potential lotto picks but it makes me feel like **** could get moderately crazy and I like it.

Daniels can play immediately and make an impact in every area if the shooting develops quick enough. He has a beautiful stroke but didn't have the results in the G League. Really good defender, rebounds, can handle the ball and pass. Measured big, he's really a combo forward, which we're desperate for.

I wouldn’t say it’s a beautiful stroke. It’s super slow but it’s not too bad. Working harder to prepare before he gets the ball should help a lot. Would be a no brainer if he falls to us but there’s a reason he’s projected as a lottery pick.

He’s a poor man’s Adam Morrison.

He’s undraftable and needs to go back to school.

Speaking of beautiful strokes Jabari Smith has the best looking jumper of any prospect I can remember. I've had Chet number 1 for a long time but I think I've changed to Jabari after getting caught up in his highlights.

It did, in my opinion. Him and Jalen Johnson never wowed me in high school in terms of next level players. They always felt like they were missing explosiveness.

Chet scares me....I just don't trust him, but he definitely has the highest ceiling/lowest floor. I think Jabari is going to be better.

The more I see of Jalen Williams, the more intrigued I get. Not a great defender, but he has the tools to be.

Almost certainly would have to trade up for Dyson. Can't see it, unfortunately. He would be a lot of fun.

It wouldn't be the first time an obvious lottery talent slid to the 20s, but yeah, seems very unlikely. And I doubt I would be in favor of what it would take for us to move up to get him.

True. I had Maxey in my Top-5 and he slid to 21. Timelord dropped like a rock too. Here's to hoping. Maybe he'll refuse to play for anyone but the Bucks.

He is actually in this weekends workout for the Bucks.

If we have the opportunity to trade up for Eason without losing Khris or Jrue and don't, I think we'll deeply regret it.

Yeah, crazy that I'm still seeing him in that 15-20 range in a lot of mocks. He's the guy who, if he hits his potential, is gonna completely unlock our switch-everything defense. He's this class's Herb Jones.

Now that's a dude that reminds me of Jimmy Buckets.

I wouldn't bat an eye if Eason went 4th.

Saw some highlights he definitely looks like a man amongst boys. Great defensive instincts. Hard to believe someone with his talent will fall out of the lottery, let alone the top 10.
