Following potential 2015 draftees

Nothing like some random gut feeling picks for who I think is gonna turn out best for each position from this draft right?

PG- George de Paula- with the right coach (hello Quin) his defensive potential is terrifying.
SG- Mario Hezonja- Actually don't think any of these guys will be great (even Russell) but I do think eventually he'll be a solid floor spacer.
SF- Stanley Johnson- Learns to finish around the rim and whala, honorable mention to Dekker who I see blossoming away from Wisconsin.
PF- Richaun Holmes- Out of nowhere pretty much, always at least one.
C- Towns- could have put at PF too, but wanted to avoid putting Upshaw in cause I feel like he will be good but don't really like him.
 
BTW, another thing to consider with the jump of 2'' in Booker's wingspan from previous measurements, is his youth. It is possible he's still growing and he might get even longer in the next year or two. Don't forget that he's the youngest prospect in this year's draft and he will still be 18 when his rookie NBA year starts.

Clavicles and acromion are the last bones to stop growing, typically around 25 yo for men. So, shoulders broaden and wingspan can continue to increase a little bit even if the arms aren't getting any longer.
 
Anyone else like Richaun Holmes as a second round pick? Measured 6'9.5" with a 7'1.5" wingspan and 9'0" standing reach.

Explosive, good defender, has rapidly improved on offense. I feel like he's gonna shoot up the draft boards, but as of now he's #48 on draftexpress
 
I agree de Paula could be a steal. reminds me some of schöder. I worry about his turn over rate and his shooting but as a second rounder he is worth the pick
