Simmons is probably a worse shooter and he was a three time allstar and considered a future superstar before all his mental **** started and got in his way.Black can’t shoot.

Yes pleaseif they both go top 8 it means 2 of Walker/Hendricks/Ausar/Whitmore?
AgreeI think we just let the draft come to us... someone will slide a spot or 2 hopefully.
no question. his archetype is easy. 6th man type scorer if he pans out - guys like Clarkson and Jamal Crawford being the optimistic comparisons, a guy like Bougknight being the bust comp. i guess i'm with that at 28 - again, depending on who else is available.He's somewhere in the Bouknight, Poole, Clarkson player type for me... and its just not something I'd prioritize in the draft.
I do kind of buy Rupert's ballhandling upside. He just has a tick more of that in his game than the typical 3&D wing. I was impressed with how low he was able to get to the floor on both ends.I watched some highlights of Rupert. There were a bunch where he drove to the basket. The defense collapsed and he kept finding the open man. He also split and passed through nicely double teams. There is something unique and good there. Man..he would have been a great pairing with Donovan.
I think we got a Markannen effect going on with Rupert. His coach should have been using him as the point guard. He's been misused.

He looks really fast too. He can push the ball and made a few nice passes to his teammates.I would say probably 6'3.5 with shoes, but the wingspan is nice and he's has an incredible basketball body w/ leanness and muscle.
Other than Jason Kidd, who else couldn't shoot for crap coming into the league and then got a shot later in their career?
Watch a complete game of his and prepare to have your mind changedI do kind of buy Rupert's ballhandling upside. He just has a tick more of that in his game than the typical 3&D wing. I was impressed with how low he was able to get to the floor on both ends.
Jokic, Embiid and the MVP of the playoffs so far, Butler are much more than just scorers. That’s overly simplistic.Off the top of my head here are players making an impact in the playoffs so far... (leaving off the likes of Curry, LeBron, Durant..)
Booker, Murray, Tatum, Jokic, Embiid, ...
In other words "Scorers".
But nevertheless they can score.Jokic, Embiid and the MVP of the playoffs so far, Butler are much more than just scorers. That’s overly simplistic.
Who? You didn't name 1 playerThere’s actually a lot. We’ve had this conversation many times. Reality is that the better you are at shooting coming into the league the more likely you are to be good at shooting in the NBA. There are exceptions, but they are exceptions.
Do people hate Anthony Black? I know people question his shooting, but beyond that fair concern I haven't really seen anyone hate him at #9.
Who? You didn't name 1 player
I'm on board with Anthony Black at 9.
Gradey falls to 16. Sign back Favors and give Kevin Love a shot.
PG: Anthony Black
SG: Gradey Dick
C: Derrick Favors
SF: Rudy Gay
PF: Kevin Love
Wrong. Kwahi shot 38% his rookie year...... guess what his career 3 point percent is? 38%. Who else?To find a true sleeper your best chances are finding a role
Man you are talking to the wrong guy, I am not arguing the other side of this lol. But of course there are exceptions. Kawhi couldn’t shoot threes and now he’s one of the best shooters in the league. If you want more ask the people who say the shooting in college don’t matter.
