Exclusive Official 2020 Draft Thread

To be honest I don’t know what I feel about Okoro. So perhaps maybe hearing your thoughts will help

 

I personally see him as a bigger Tony Allen with better instincts offensively. He’s NOT a good shooter but he’s got elite defensive ability and is a good finisher.

 

They definitely have some similarities as prospects.

Do feel that Okoro has notably more polish and feel on both ends though. But if you don't believe in the jump shot developing I can see somebody questioning how much that really matters offensively.

 

It's hard to project Little tbh

 

My first pick is Patrick Williams that can play small forward this kid has great upside also very good playmaker. 2nd round Tillie I really like this kid can backup Zach. Another good passer that stretch the floor. Both players decent on the defense side. I know some people wants backup point guard that position I rather get a veteran for that spot.

 

I remember Kersey his rookie year and he got some time he was very active down low and on the break, a bit out of control at times, you could see his motor was high speed.
Littles game at times last year reminded me of a young #25.

 

I loved Jerome, but he was "a bit out of control" EVERY game he played! Still loved that reckless abandon!

I think Bey is one of the best wings in this draft and that’s mostly because he has skills like 3 point shooting, versatile defense, and underrated playmaking skills that are nba ready. He might not have the peak of some of the other players but he will have a nice long career as a star role player

 

I am curious to hear all of your guys thought on this. Who’s your favorite point guard out of this draft? And are there other point guards you wouldn’t mind getting?

 

If you consider them PG's I currently have Tyrese Haliburton, Theo Maledon, and Killian Hayes in that order.

 

Tyrese Halliburton. This may sound like faint praise, but I see him as another Shaun Livingston (the Warriors version).
Killian Hayes seems promising, but then, so did Mudiay and Ntilikina. For our second-rounder, I'd certainly give Rokas Jokubaitis a look.

 

Nico's my favorite. Think he's the smartest and I like his versatility offensively. Not the highest upside guy, but he's the one I trust the most to develop into a starting point guard on a good team. Definitely context dependent though.

For us, pretty sure the FO is still committed to Ant long term--I still have a lot of hope for him as well--so don't think point guard is really much of a need. But if the plan is to use Ant as a piece to make a win now trade or they've lost some faith in him, I wouldn't mind grabbing either Malachi Flynn or Cassius Winston in the second round.

Malachi is probably safer. Lower turnover rate and better defensively. But I think Cassius is more talented. You're just more worried about him translating athletically.

 

Patrick Williams? If their comparisons are right...

 

Me like.

 

Sure, why not? We get a player at #14 in a weak draft and his comparison is Kawhi Leonard. We are very lucky!

 

Seriously! He can become the best player out of this draft. While I do love the Kawhi Leonard comparison, I’ve also seen OG Anunoby comparison which would also be awesome. His defensive game should become one of the best simply because of his ability to guard the perimeter and the interior. His 84% free throw shooting suggests that he does have a good form. He just probably need more confidence in it when shooting 3s. If I was the blazers, I would pick him. He’s my favorite prospect

 

Personal favorite? Malachi Flynn. Have seen him in person multiple times. Is already efficient in the pick and roll. Competes defensively. Smart. Can probably step into that backup PG role as a rookie imo. Lack of sexy measurables will gift him to a smart team. Could be another vanvleet, but I also think he’s got some dame like traits. If Portland could get him in the second it would be a robbery.
