On the harsh part, I was referring more to that he wouldn't even have been a top 20 pick last year.I don't think Brewer is that harsh for Holland, he played 800+ games in the NBA and started 300+. I hesitate to say "floor", but with Holland's athleticism + defensive motor he's a good bet to be able stick around the league even if the offense never materializes.
He's the GG Jackson of the draft. He looks smooth but it didn't work for whatever reason.I seem be lower on Matas Buzelis than most people. What is so exciting about him? He does have height, but his stats are worse than players like Holland whom it seems like less people are sold on. I'm not saying Holland is best player in the draft, but what am I missing on Matas?
Cam Whitmire was the 20th pick so they are saying he isn't better than Whitmire as a prospectOn the harsh part, I was referring more to that he wouldn't even have been a top 20 pick last year.

I still am shocked that Whitmore fell that far when so many people thought he would go in the 4-6 range.Cam Whitmire was the 20th pick so they are saying he isn't better than Whitmire as a prospect
If he was a bit(maybe a lot) more assertive and a bit(maybe a lot) more ...alpha(hate using that description but couldn't find better one in my head) I'd be excited about him. There are things to like about him.... on a highlight you can see the appeal. Someone mentioned Batum as a comp for Williams. I think Batum might actually be a solid comp for Risacher, too... if he figures out the shooting. With the slightest of hopes that he might have a bit more in the bag of potential with on-ball offense.Wing with solid size, good looking shot, all around IQ, and probably the best defensive wing in the lottery
I think the current version of Batum is a Risacher comp (the more 3&D w/ less playmaking and more connecting). When I comped Batum/Williams it was more of the Charlotte/Point Forward BatumIf he was a bit(maybe a lot) more assertive and a bit(maybe a lot) more ...alpha(hate using that description but couldn't find better one in my head) I'd be excited about him.

Is risacher a better defensive prospect than dunn?
He will be on the court more to play defenseIs risacher a better defensive prospect than dunn?
Buzelis is the one guy I don't want us to draft. I'm fine with the Jazz going BPA based on their analysis - there's a chance someone expected to go in the top-5 will fall to use at 8. I like Sarr (not going to be there but I can dream), Dillingham and Holland and believe the FO will like Holland for his flexibility and what he brings to the table (high ceiling, tough, good shooter and defender). I flip-flop on Castle though it would be nice to have a guard who can guard. Though Holland can probably guard a shooting guard so....I seem be lower on Matas Buzelis than most people.

Ya that list didn't have many big names. Will still be fun to see who stands out though.The Elite camp will have future Stars players.
There were some intermountain players there a couple of guards played in the Mountain West conference, the Utah Center and Isaac Jones from Washington State that was all Pac 12.Ya that list didn't have many big names. Will still be fun to see who stands out though.
Dunn is about as elite of a defensive prospect as they come but the offense is so rough right now that he may not be able to see the floor. If he can become a half decent 3pt shooter and ft shooter then you are looking at a regular all nba team defender. He is a terrible shooter right now though and he needs to improve quite a bit to become playable for consistent minutes.Is risacher a better defensive prospect than dunn?
