Hard to argue with a lot of this at this point.

Nick Smith and Rupert aren’t as high for me personally, today, but really nice mock.
 
What counts as a “three level scorer”. GG is 25% in the mid range. He is god awful. But if we’re saying he has the ability to be a good defender, might as well right? There are no strengths and weaknesses. If you completely suck at something, it’s just potential.

I’m about to put my name in the draft because I also completely suck at scoring. I may not be good now, but I have limitless potential.

25% from mid-range and 34.6% from 3 doesn’t scream three-level scorer to me. He’s wildly inefficient.
 
His ceiling isnt that high though. The only thing he does at a high level is score. Awful defender, mediocre shooter, poor intangibles, terrible passer.

Of course at the end of the day scoring is king. He's in the 15-20ish range right now. Would not draft him lottery as the Jazz.

Kind of reminds me of Shabazz Muhammad. Another guy who was ranked super high as a Freshman and basically couldnt do anything other than score. Was a very selfish mentality kind of player. Seems like that might be GG.

I wouldn’t even say he scores at a high level. He gets crappy shots off at a high rate, but that is about it.

Wow.. is Keyonte that much worse than Nick Smith?

Some mocks even have Keyonte higher due to his playmaking ability.

Ware ducking sucks.

Lively is an elite shot blocker who understands his role and seems to work hard. He should be infinitely better in the NBA if he goes to a smart team. Should maybe have him higher.

Also the guard play for Duke is basically non existent. Proctor is awful. Roach is mediocre. Whitehead is injured and when he plays he's mediocre.

Hard to say since NSJ has hardly played due to injuries, but I like his moxy when he played. He seemed to have the "it" factor. I would say the Keynote and NSJ placements are hard. Could be wrong on both.

Failing at grabbing Wemby, Scoot or Miller, I've been looking at the guards, Kyonte & Nick Smith. Keyonte, he seems to have the playmaking ability that the Jazz would really like to go with Markkanen and Kessler. I see a bit of Donovan in him. Nick Smith more of a pure scorer ala Jordan Clarkson.
