Honestly for me I don't even care about the numbers with GG. Even when he is struggling I still see a skillset and athletic profile that is made for the nba. Put him in a role over his first couple years in the nba as more of a secondary piece and I think he would thrive and develop pretty quickly. At this point the more he struggles the more excited I get because it raises the chance that he drops to us. Another thing we have going for us is that a lot of gm's have very little job security and are in win now mode based on roster construction so they may be less likely to take the risk on a project. Danny on the other hand probably has as much job security as almost any gm in the league.

Smith just isn't my cup of tea... he's very Jalen Green-y to me. I think those guys are fine if they are like JC with us... but if they are a building block I struggle a bit. I'd have him over George though... if he falls outside the top 8-9 like some are projecting he might be a great steal.

shorter jalen green without the elite athleticism.

george might become very underrated in this draft, imo (which could be very good for utah). the first few times i saw him, i thought damn, he's a ridiculously advanced offensive player - shooting, scoring, passing - but his production simply wasn't keeping pace - he was scoring decently, but his efficiency didn't match who he appeared to be as a shooter/scorer. since big12 play has started he's been on a tear and the production is catching up.

consider, he's playing in the best conference in the country and getting 22, 6 and 3 on 59% TS in conference play. that is insane and i think people are sleeping on him. granted, fairly small sample.

I like him too because I think he can be more of a playmaker combo guard. I struggle sometimes with guys that are supposed to be good shooters but don't shoot straight. College is such a limited sample I shouldn't put as much stock into it though. He's on a good team in a good conference and seems to be trending the right way.

This draft might get wild at like pick 4/5-ish could be some guys that reach because of positional need or just that the draft has a pretty decent tier from like 5-17... lots of unique guys with different selling points.
 
Kevin o Conner’s draft guide supposed to drop tomorrow… supposedly has Taylor Hendricks at 10… now I’m rethinking my position.
