What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

Chad Ford's last mock draft has us taking Moritz Wagner and Luke Kennard... Is Wagner even a projected first rounder?

Wagner impressed a lot of NBA scouts down the stretch, especially in an NCAA tournament game against Louisville when he dropped 26 points.
He's a very skilled big man who can stretch the floor and play in the post, and he's just six months older that Markkanen, a prospect with similar skills. He's really good value at this point in the draft.

Elite shooting will always be a need, and Kennard has a claim to being the best shooter in the draft.
 
I don't know Swanigan very well. Anyone want to try to compare him to Boris Diaw (the heavier version)?

No one compares to Diaw. Swanigan is pretty unique. He is long, can pass, rebound, and shoot. He is going to be a terrible defender and he doesnt have exceptional center size to make up for it. Not a guy I would take in the 1st, at least not in this draft.
