I have seen Keegan have some great shooting nights. So I am not opposed to trading for him. But if he is not available, you are also making a pretty good argument for not trading Grant. He is good at scoring and has actual positional size. Sure he does not fit in the same window of the 20 year olds but he does have 3 years left in his prime. Which is about the same length of time any rookie we draft this year will need to develop. Including the 185 lb Williams. (Whom I do like for the future)
Changed my vote to pure BPA. Haven't seen enough from Scoot or Ant or anyone on this roster to pen them down for anything long term. Hell for all we know Rupert/Camera/Walker could be our 3 best players long term from the current roster and we will have a giant hole to fill at guard.
I’m picking BPA with the caveat that short guards have to be so far ahead of everyone else (ala Kevin Durant @ Texas) in order to justify that choice. I certainly don’t see that from any guards in this class.
Yeah, the field is so flat that I really don't think there's a guard that's going to be miles ahead of everyone else.
Blazers Pick: LOVE: Sarr Like: Risachere, Williams, Holland, Buzelis GS Pick: LOVE: Salaun, Clingan, Knecht
I think "BPA" is more subjective in this draft then perhaps any in the last 10-20 years, so IMO its simply not as impt, there is basically no significant consensus on anyone
It's going to come down to who they have higher on their board, and I imagine things like culture fit, defense, age, etc. 5
