Following potential 2017 draftees...

I think as a backup you can scheme around that. Could do worse with a 2nd rounder. ****, he's just as good as Kanter.

Maybe, but if the overall goal is to build a team that can beat the Warriors, Swanigan is probably never getting in the game.

He might get played off the floor in the playoffs, but you can't really draft a second round guy based on one team. I think he can fill some minutes and he does some good things.

I don't see Kanter at all... Swanigan can shoot and pass... defense may be similar but that's about it. It's the combo of shooting passing and post up that intrigue me.
 
I'm not a huge Jordan Bell fan, but he would be a good pick at 24 just for the sake of matching up with the Warriors. When they run Draymond at center, he would be a good option to have. His rebounding just worries me a bit. Not great there.

IDK, I kind of think you do.

Then we shouldn't make the pick at all... because none of those guys are going to fill the need at #42.

? Completely disagree.

You got guys like Wesley Iwundu, Josh Hart, Cameron Oliver, Sterling Brown, Devin Robinson, Sindarius THornwell, and others projected at 42 and beyond. Those are guys who could potentially be two way players. You need to draft guys who have the potential to get it done on both ends.

I would prefer to get good two way players and I like those players, but Thornwell/Robinson/Hart may not be able to do enough on offense and may not defend at an elite level. Oliver/Iwundu are not known as a consistent defenders... of that group the idea of Brown fits best against GS.

My point is I don't make a pick in the 40s thinking this is the guy that will give us 10-15 minutes against GS... I think you take the guy that you feel will be the best player.

Hell who knows... maybe Swanigan is the guy who gives GS enough issues in the post to cause their defense issues... can shoot and pass well enough to hurt them that way.

I just think if you use GS as the measuring stick they all come up short... all have warts at 42. Narrowing in on one matchup is not how I would approach it. If the drafting philosophy is only guys that have good two way potential you may miss on the next Jokic.

Just to clarify, I was not comparing their games. I was just saying Swanigan is as good as he is impact wise.
