I would be extremely nervous about drafting a Thompson twin at the top of the draft.
Im not high on Dick (jesus christ.....) but more than anything, the makeup of that is good. Swing for the fences upside in Ausar, bankable skillset in Dick, and reliable sleeper who could likely contribute right away in Sheppard.
This is where we deviate. Im higher on Ausar than Amen and think he's a value at 9.
Okay, nice. For those of us that missed it, could somebody list it?
Amen and Ausar are bigger mysteries than Bilal at this point IMO. Kinda funny how that works. For better or worse, Bilal's senior team experience has shown where he's at. Some people like that he's playing a lot of minutes at a high level, some are scared off because he's not playing a big role. You can't really gauge anything from OTE, so it's just taking a leap of faith and trusting the evaluators. I feel pretty certain that Bilal would dunk all over OTE and the Thompson Twins would also struggle outside of a very limited role in the French league, but it's all speculation. It can't be proven one way or the other.
Yes, give me a second.

yep, and sheppard is one of my top five at 28. i'd be thrilled with getting him there.
Players went 4/20 from the field against Jarace in isolation… pretty impressive.
