List 5 players you'd be happy if we ended up with, and 5 players that are mocked as first rounders that you want us to avoid. My lists: YAY Stephon Castle Cody Williams Devin Carter Zach Edey Tristan Da Silva NAY Alex Sarr Matas Buzelis Rob Dillingham Jared McCain Donovan Clingan
Yay: Alex Sarr Cody Williams Rissacher Salaun Ron Holland if he can hit open threes with good mechanics in his workout with the team Nay: Castle, I really liked him but this shit about him having to be the starting PG is a turn off: https://swarmandsting.com/posts/wil...s-push-away-hornets-as-draft-fit-01hy8q25e7sq Clingan Topic Dillingham and Sheppard if this is about our team because I am sick and tired of small guards.
Yay: Sarr Rissacher Sheppard (best basketball player and shooter in the draft) if we plan on getting rid of Simons Clingan Ware Nay: Castle McCain Edey Holland Buzelis
Yay- Risacher (#1 target IMO) Salaun (BOOM or BUST) Ware (If his mind is right, he'll be top 5 from this draft) Walter (Will be taken lower than where he should be, one of the only true 3 & D guys) Da Silva (He'll be one of those guys that stays in the league for 10+ years as a do-it-all glue guy) Nay- Topic (Just don't get it, but I said the same thing about Luka) Dillingham (See: Topic) Sheppard (See: Topic, Dillingham. But, I do like him) Filipowski (Next big Duke flop) Carter (Getting way too much love recently) 2nd rd yay- Snead (Dawg! Great backup and just like Sasser, way underrated) Newton (See: Snead. A good defensive, backup PG with size? Ideal next to small SG) Hukporti (Super athletic, tough, I think he could stick as 3rd PF/C) Holmes (Very good shot, can handle the ball, wants to block everything, good switching on D) Klintman (Poor man's Risacher. With some maturing he could be a good bench contributor) Nay- Kolek (Why?) Tyson (No NBA level skill) Almansa (Looked completely outclassed last year...in the G-League) Ighodaro (Just looks awkward. Could be this years Jackson-Davis, though) Mitchell I've seen him mocked in the 1st quite a bit, wouldn't even take him in the 2nd) There's actually more 2nd rounders I like as role players than the 1st rounders as potential starters. For as many guys as Kentucky and Duke have drafted, one of them should win the national title every year.
Yes - 1) Holland 2) Buzelis 3) Risacher 4) Salaun 5) Holmes (in a trade down scenario) NO 1) Clingan 2) Dillingham 3) Collier 4) Shannon 5) Kintman
Omitting Sarr because there is zero chance of him being available to us. Yay: Risacher Williams Salaun George Ware Nay: Dillingham Holland Collier McCain Filipowski
Yay: Castle Risacher (Changed my stance on him) De Silva Missi Holland Nay: Salaun Mgbacko Dillingham (fit) Filipowski Collier
