I mean, I guess that's the general thought process for most of us who do this, but that doesn't have to be the criteria.@Saint Cy of JFC , change mine to Leonard Miller when you get a chance. it is becoming more apparent that brandon miller will be #2 overall and i look at this thread as a "my guy who will outplay his draft position thread" and at #2, unless he's better than wemby, he won't outplay his draft position.
I’m still all about Cam Whitmore, but if I was going with guys I think will outplay their draft projections. . . Bobi Klintman and Sidy Cissoko would be my guys all day long.I mean, I guess that's the general thought process for most of us who do this, but that doesn't have to be the criteria.
I think most draft people fetishize being first on things and knowing what other people don't know, so most of us gravitate to someone who is a bit of gamble, but if you correctly predict Miller is the 2nd best player that is still impressive as it's far from consensus.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Unacceptable.I'm still in on GG. I can take him too. Take Bufkin at 9 and GG at 16. Problem solved.
stupid mocks have him slide out of the first, but if they are getting actual intel, that bodes well for the Jazz chances. Not great at anything yet, but solid accross the board archetype to steal at 28.SIDY CISSOKO
higher on him than most of the projected 1st round.
He would be 3rd on my list of "my guys". The issue with him is that I just dont see a lot of shot creation upside. Think he's more Jeff Green than anything else. He also measured smaller than everyone expected at the combine.One highlight of his, he rebounds brings it up the court spins in the lane on a defender and dunks it like he's in his sleep. That one play reminded my of Kawhi. He says he watches a lot of Jimmy Butler's game.
Miller still seems like he is being slept on, by the majority of outlets, which is not surprising despite his production and archetype being special- I am guessing its just cricket treatment. I def see him as high as 7th as a sleeper Indiana selection down to to us at 16 as the far he would slide. Most likely OKC's pick though imoI picked Leonard Miller back on page 4.
