Where would you rank Keyonte George in his draft class today? Would it be the 6-8 range, where he was generally ranked during the first half of his college season? Or would it be in the 12-16 range, where he was ranked at the time of the draft last year, after he got hurt and had a somewhat disappointing 2nd half of his college season? If you believe that Keyonte should be on the 2nd All Rookie team, then probably he should be ranked in the 6-8 range, which was his earlier ranking.
I'm saying that basically the same thing is happening with Cody Williams, who got hurt and had a somewhat disappointing 2nd half to his college season.

But this draft is considered much weaker than last years draft.
At the top of the draft, it is. But the idea here is that Williams was once considered a top-5 guy, then he faded in the 2nd half of his college season, while other guys gained visibility. Some of that is now correcting. For example, Dillingham probably isn't going in the top 5-7 range. Who knows where Castle will go (though it seems like he's trying to steer himself to San Antonio). Clingan might ultimately go at #7 instead of top 4. And so on. Oftentimes, high-level prospects have a bad or underwhelming stretch and they get misplaced due to recency bias.
Look, Cody Williams isn't the b-all, end-all. In a stronger draft, he probably would go in the 8-12 range. It's just that in this particular draft class, he does actually stand out near the top for me.
He's a safe pick. I could see the Spurs or Grizzlies take Knecht.
Yeah but not for us.

It’s all speculation on your part. And you aren’t paid to scout players.
You’re right. Maybe I should find a fan site to post my ideas on.
I think Cody Williams might have the highest upside in the draft. I think he can already dribble, pass, shoot and defend, and once he grows into his body he has a chance to be a monster. If I were putting together a big board, he'd be in the top four

Maneesh has spoken. All doubt begone.
I do feel like Cody's floor is probably 12 because would the Thunder really pass up the chance to pair the brothers together?
Idk if you mean with the knowledge of his rookie season or not, but I wasn't high on Keyonte,so he'd probably be in the same post lottery rangee for me in this draft.
If it's with knowledge of his rookie year he's probably #1.
Depending on who else is available I’m starting to doubt we pass on him at 10.
I have a feeling deep in my core that if Clingan is available at 4 the Spurs will go crazy and draft him
I love when Tony and Andy pop-in at random, despite having massive Xitter audiences, because they know where the real ones are.

That’s kind of a broad statement. I mean lots of prospects can shoot dribble and defend and already have better bodies. Could you go in deeper on that?
When I watch his highlights I do see something but he also looks mechanical to me in his movements. I want to get on board fully but I just can’t. Top 4 seems extreme to me.
