2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)


Has Roko going 36, Wieskamp going 40, and Josh Christopher going 33.

Has Jazz taking Miles McBride at 30. He's a guy I like, but don't love.
 
McBride is a good fit next to Mitchell. He can guard either guard spot, shoot it, and he can handle the ball and playmake a bit.
 
Someone play devils advocate to my love of Thor. I'm seeing a Siakam-esque vibe to him. Siakam didn't shoot the 3 in college but his FR year had really similar number to Thor on a per 40 basis in a really weak league.

Dude is exactly what we need on this team and where the league is going and where its at. To me his ceiling is mega high as in top 10 in this draft but his floor is actually high as well. Again, what am I missing?

I’ve seen nothing on the guy but his name is Thor for hells sake… he will definitely be good based on just that.

He's raw. He's a bit of a project, and his skills as a wing are limited. He'd play more as a defensive-minded 4, except that he may be a 3pt shooting threat. He's got measurables and athleticism that should impact the game. You hope he matures and impacts both ends like Josh Smith did, while shooting a bit more consistently. He needs to add some weight/strength and rebound more to play at the 4. If it works, you've got a 3D big wing who can guard the Anthony Davis types.

He's the kind of guy Toronto would draft as a developmental pick--like they did with Siakam and Chris Boucher.

Thanks.

I could totally see Presti taking him as well. OKC takes everyone I want to take a swing on historically.

I like his shooting motion and dont think its unreasonable to see him as a career 35%+ 3pt shooter as an absolute monster defender. Wet. Dream.

I think he was widely considered a 2nd-round pick before the Combine, where he measured well and shot the ball pretty well.
 
I think Trey Murphy is going to be gone by the early or mid-20s. He's pretty much the Robert Covington archetype that teams really want.

That he's 100% not going to be available at 30.
