What's new

2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)

Some of the prospects that have a good chance of sneaking into the 1st round are Josh Primo, Joe Wieskamp, Isaiah Todd, and Quentin Grimes. That means someone's probably going to slide from top 20.
 
Aren't the lotto teams generally the same as those with high second rounders. I hope (for his sake) that he's not thinking he'll go in the lottery while the teams are pegging him for first half of the second round.

Not really, no. Washington doesn't have a 2RP right now. A bunch of 2RPs have been traded to non-lottery teams.

Add Bones Hyland and Josh Christopher to your list. The big from NC Day-Ron Sharpe may be on the 1st-rd bubble too--he's been shooting the ball well. Definitely a guard or two is going to drop to #30. I'm starting to think the Jazz may have a chance at Roko if both Thor and Murphy are gone. Ayo Dosunmu may be a real possibility at #30.

This is also good for the Jazz because it means more teams will call to acquire the #30 pick.

Hyland and Christopher have already boosted their stock and are 1st round prospects already though.

Maybe… only 30 guys are first rounders. Last year it seemed Bey and Woodard would go late first and both guys slipped.

Here's what I've got ---

Top 5: Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green, Evan Mobley, Jalen Suggs, Scottie Barnes
6-10 range: Jonathon Kuminga, Jalen Johnson, James Bouknight, Alperin Sengun, Moses Moody
11-15 range: Keon Johnson, Davion Mitchell, Kai Jones, Josh Giddey, Corey Kispert
16-20 range: Franz Wagner, Usman Garuba, Isaiah Jackson, Sharife Cooper, Chris Duarte

None of these guys are dropping to #30, unless Isaiah Jackson somehow takes a fall.

However, 6 of these guys will be available at #30:
Ziaire Williams, Trey Murphy, Josh Primo, JT Thor, Jaden Springer,
Roko Prkacin, Tre Mann, Jared Butler, Cam Thomas, Bones Hyland,
Ayo Dosunmu, Day-Ron Sharpe, Josh Christopher, Quentin Grimes, Isaiah Todd.

If the Jazz want to hone in on a guard, that's probably pretty safe. They'd be looking at Ayo, Bones and Christopher.

Brandon Boston showed how far away he is from contributing during his Pro Day yesterday. Still adapting to NBA range.
