Just perusing through the draft express twitter feed, this seems like a pretty long draft class.

There could be a few diamonds out there. Most guys have good size for the position... which is one of the main things I like to see. Minnot and Liddell were pretty good too.

Normally there is a surprise guy that is like 2 inches shorter than his projection or that has trex arms. Didn't see one that stood out.

The one guy in this draft I can't quite figure out is Johnny Davis. Could tell me he is a bust or top 5 guy in the draft and I might believe either. You can explain his shooting and inefficiencies with the injury he had mid year and his team sucking... or he could just be a ****** shooter.

I like Johnny Davis. I wouldn't necessarily trade up for him but I would feel comfortable picking him in his projected range.

That one guy for me is Jalen Williams. Seems like a super fit next to anyone but who knows.
 
I keep looking at Jaden Hardy and I keep seeing a Bradley Beal-level scoring guard. Just needs more discipline and needs to play with more structure. G-league is messy.

Johnny Davis has some toughness and competitiveness, which bodes well for him working hard and improving. However, he's not really great as a 1, and he hasn't shown enough shooting to believe in him as a 2 just yet. There's some risk with him. His floor might be a Deanthony Melton type off the bench if he'll knock down shots.

This is another one I thought was notable. He's grown... as a point guard type wing this is bonkers. If the jumper comes around Dyson will be so so valuable.

Wingspan is a pleasant surprise. Otherwise, these are Gordon Hayward measurements at the same age. Give him a year, and he'll be around 205+ lbs.

Defensively, he can be like Lonzo Ball. Offensively, he can be a mix of Hayward and Dragic. I really like his skillset and ability to potentially play three positions. He really thinks the game and makes good reads. Plus he grew up in the middle of nowhere, Australia, so he'll fit right in here.

He needs the jump shot, but he has good enough touch on his floaters to suggest he'll get there.

I like the Spurs' picks at #9, #20 and #25 in this draft. That could be Dyson/Eason at #9, Hardy/Jovic at #20 and a big wing or Liddell at #25.

Nah. We'd surprise everyone and draft an undersized unathletic PG at 9 (who most had going in the late 20's to early 2nd round), a Doke clone at 20 and a draft and stash euro big at 25... But those hand pads!
