pgab,

Who are the best 3-5 pure shooters in this draft?

Justin Jackson (UNC)
Malik Monk
Lauri Markannen
Luke Kennard
Kevin Huerter

Hon Mention to Terrance Ferguson who'd easily be on the list and might have the most picturesque form but he only shot 31% from 3 this season so I couldn't put him over Marshall.

Players like Marcus Marshall, Tyler Dorsey, Monte Morris and Landry Shamet deserve mention they're more shooting off the dribble types, figured you were asking for classic floor-spacers

That Knox kid looks like he could be a player. 6'8" looks pretty athletic, good basketball body, really nice shooting stroke.

He's pretty good a lottery talent. The wings on the way in the classes after are better, especially HS C/O 2019, wow is that class gonna be loaded on the wing..

Next year is for bigs..

There's 2 phenomenal international wings tho in Doncic and Bonga which help the crop..
 
When did you jump on the Justin Jackson bandwagon? Thought you were killing DX over having him in the lottery when they first did it?

I've always been a fan of Justin Jackson. I've long said that Houston Hoops team (which produced Justin Jackson, Kelly Oubre, Justise Winslow, De'Aaron Fox, Robert Williams and next year Jarred Vanderbilt in a short time) is my favorite AAU squad ever..)

I surely wrote that his 3pt % was anomalous the last 2 seasons.

He's certainly achieved some degree of a body transformation too. I still worry a bit but it's no big deal. He's worked his way from a frail home-schooled kid into a real legit prospect. The overall sharpness of his game is at an all-time high.. He's got some Rip Hamilton to his game but hes got the floater like Ben Gordon..

I've also long said that there's room for some screwy "high volatility", if u will, moves at the SG spots. It's why I keep bringing up Hamidou Diallo.

Little momentum can go a long way due to scarcity..

What do you mean by pure shooters? Best shooting mechanics/accuracy mixed with volume? Or just guys whose main strength is shooting in their current state of individual development?

Pretty much this. Also are we talking catch and shoot or we talking microwave shooters who can get real hot off the dribble.

I take it as guys who can space the floor and are thought of as consistent catch and shoot players first off. I think Markkanen is a perfect example of a "pure shooter".
