What I mean is: post the top five players you'd like us to get (assume we're able to trade up to the appropriate draft pick) in the order that you like them (not necessarily in the order they're likely to get drafted). You can add one player who's projected high that you definitely do NOT want.
These are players I think we realistically could draft w/o moving up. Josh Green - AZ Pat Williams - FSU Jaden McDaniels - UW Niko Mannion - AZ Isaiah Stewart - UW
Avdija, Pokusevski, Isaiah Stewart, Malachi Flynn. Obviously different spots where those guys will be drafted, but they are my favorites for now. I think Flynn has some flashes of Dame
My top 5 is Anthony Edwards Onyeka Okongwu Deni Avdija Patrick Williams Saddiq Bey One player that I absolutely would not want is Lamelo Ball
1. Tyrese Halliburton 2. Onyeka Okongwu 3. Devin Vassell 4. Isaac Okoro 5. Leandro Bolmaro DON'T DRAFT: Nico Mannion (although his nickname, the Ginger Ninja, is awesome)
Pokuseski is very intriguing I have to admit. He’s a 7 footer who can shoot 3s and make plays for others. He can play defense pretty well. His handles are actually impressive for someone his size. When he grab a defensive rebound he go and run out on the break to make plays. Since he’s from Europe everyone will say he’s the next porzingis. While that would be awesome I actually see more like a Draymond green in term of really being able to do about everything. And also I see Pokuseski, like Draymond, will be a ceiling raiser but not necessarily a floor raiser. He will need to play next to stars but if he does then the stars will be grateful for him. With that being said Pokuseski does need to put a lot of weight on him, like at least 20 pound. Also not consistent with his game yet. So to me he’s a project but in a few year down the road he will be ready to play solid minutes. I be willing to take a bet on him being the great role player out of this draft
I read somewhere that a lot of GMs were actually pleased the NCAAs were cancelled because every year their dumb-ass owner watches and falls in love with some scrub who goes off in a couple of games.
