2022 NBA Draft Thread: We Going to Have a Pick! (lmao jk)

Mathurin has the same statistical profile as Ivey. As close as you can get….but I see a much more natural transition to the pros with his size and his shot has way better indicators. Wiggins isn’t a bad comp. He’ll probably be a bad/average shot creator…only his very high end outcomes result in him being a true wing scorer, but he still has that potential. If it doesn’t work out, he very easily fits into the most valuable role in the league. Can’t get enough 6’6 athletic guys who can shoot. Same tier of prospect of Ivey….but when it’s close I’m siding with the guy with a more promising jumper.

Considering how limited Mathurin is off the dribble right now, I don't see how he can be compared to Ivey. Very different players, imo. Ivey should be a solid on-ball creator with an extraordinary ability to beat defenders and break the paint--e.g., John Wall.

So Sharpe seems to be falling. Listened to Down to Dunk - Okc podcast that is pretty fun. Supposedly he hasn't been doing well in workouts and interviews. He worked out for Charlotte. I think he falls to #11 or #12 unless OKC trades up to get him.

He worked out for Charlotte… so I think he’s really sliding… no smoke screens needed.

Sharpe has worked out with 10 teams. I know he has gotten a lot of love from the draft media/internet but he's a mystery prospect, NBA scouts literally have never seen him play a game live in person.

KCP and Ish Smith works financially for Mike Conley

I may end up really wrong, but I am not a believer in Murray. He seems way too vanilla. I would take the other 4 before him.

I really love this draft from the late lottery to the end of the 1st round. Tons of wings, big guards, and forwards that can D up, move the ball, and shoot. It's increasingly feeling like we're not going to have a pick after all, but would really dig any of Eason, Liddell, Agbaji, Moore, Jalen Williams, Laravia, Braun, or Kendall Brown.

We can trade Conley to Cleveland for Levert and get the exact same player.

Picture KAT with dribble-sidesteps from 28 feet, plus a mid-range game. He's also going to punish teams in the post, whether they go small or not.
