Following Potential 2018 Draftees

I like SGA and think he can become a 6'6" George Hill, pending improving his shooting. I like how he ran the point for UK with poise in what was otherwise a loose and slightly chaotic offense. He's crafty and he can get to the rim in different ways.

Zhaire Smith is going to have to start as a primarily defensive specialist due to his limited ball skills and rudimenrary shooting. He'll be like a more athletic Royce O'Neale and his ceiling might be Doug Christie, imo.

I'd take SGA over Smith pretty easily.

I thought I was now okobo homer but after seeing most value him over shia.... lol

Shia fits better with donovan

with okobo our backcourt would be 6'2 and 6'3

Shy is 6'6, 7 foot wingspan, outplayed diallo and knox at kentucky, 80% ft, 40% 3pt

We would have to move up for him no doubt in my mind

rumor is Denver will select him in round 1

You need to see where he is in 2 more years. Bigs develop slowly, and get they're shooting later than guards and wings. Clint Capella wasn't even in
the NBA at 19 years old, drafted late (25th) like Bradley, and now he's staring at a max contract.

bradley is a stiff and Clint never was. big difference

I mean, that's what rebounding is for most big men. You position yourself and the ball falls to you. You don't have to be an out of area rebounder as a big man. When you are as big as he is that's all you have to do.

And you got to stop comparing him to the Collins twins. He is way more talented.

Is he thugh? look at Collins college career was vastly better even in year 1. Also the one Collins twin was a servicable starter. i dont ever see that with Bradley and no he is not more talented.

What? Bradley couldnt play because the roster is loaded at center, not because he is bad. The Collins were never serviceable starters. They were emergency starters in the era where teams still wanted statues for big men and they were still on the low end. If Bradley was in that era, he would be dominant.

Plus the Collins twins came out as seniors, not Freshman.

So I thought that this would be an interesting exercise. Name one pick that you feel confident will happen, one pick that is being projected in mock drafts that you don't think will happen, and one pick that you think gets traded.

Confident it will happen- Deandre Ayton to the Suns at 1. I'll take the easiest path on this one lol.
Don't think it will happen- Trae Young to the Magic at 6. Their GM typically values size/length/athleticism.
Pick that gets traded- Denver trades away 14.

Confident the Grizzlies take Bagley if he is available.
Confident whoever the mocks say Utah will draft, they wont draft that person.
