There are a lot of guards and wings in this draft, but many of them have real holes or question marks:
-- Jeremy Sochan is a versatile and disruptive defender, but his scoring is a question.
-- Nikola Jovic could be the Serbian version of Gordon Hayward, but he lacks the ability to get separation and struggles finishing at the rim.
-- Jaden Hardy is supposed to a natural scorer, but he struggled shooting the ball from 3pt in the G-league.
-- Patrick Baldwin was a top-5 recruit, but he had just an awful freshman year.
-- Bryce McGowans has an NBA body, but was just terribly inefficient last year. Maybe he's a project like BJ Boston.
Top half of the 1st round is strong, but I think a bunch of the late-1st and 2nd-rd prospects are going to pull out of the draft.
