What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

Some good players are going to drop, just because it's a numbers game. Vecinie has Rabb and Swanigan in the 2nd round.

That stretch-4 from Syracuse Tyler Lydon seems a bit underrated right now. He may be a better athlete and defender than he looks.

It wasnt a mock draft, it's just his personal big board.
 
I don't know about you guys but Isaiah hartenstein is my pick. I just get wet thinking of a future gobert hartenstein front line. Both 7's can block shots but hartenstein can spread the floor.

Also hartenstein can back up Rudy when he rests.

I'd like to see TJ Leaf and Tyler Lydon work out against each other.

and the Latvian SF, he's not to be discounted. As the process hits the final furlongs he seems very much like a Nic Batum type of figure in this draft. Rodions Kurucs -- Who'd be one of the best players they could draft if they knew Hayward is gonna walk, IMO.

Down to 22 on the latest DX mock only 1 spot before Utah and Donovan Mitchell (there's no guarantee Mitchell actually stays in the field at this point)

Even tho I'm partial to lefties, I'd rather have Zach Collins. I think he could play some 4 next to Rudy too, he can shoot some from 3 and he's also got much better footwork.

Justin Patton is probably the best shotblocker of the bunch, with Ike and ZC not far behind.

Hartenstein would be a phenomenal pick and value in the 20's tho, no denying that.

Thon Maker is also an interesting comparison point for Hartenstein. Not sure who I'd take.

True Zach Collins is there but I figure Zach has moved into the teens.

Thon Maker is still primarily a perimeter player. Hartenstein is a beast, like Marc Gasol sized. I don't think Hartenstein will end up playing the 4 full-time, just the way the league is headed.
 
I feel about Giles like i did about Skal. Might turn into really good players, but based on what i saw in college, I'd prefer somebody else take the risk. With Skal, early returns look good, but if I'm a nba gm I'm at peace with passing on him.

With Giles you have the added issue of the knees. No thanks.

Thon has perimiter skills and a faceup game and can put the ball on the floor, he also had some blocks on Rudy tho IIRC.

Hartenstein won't be a starting 5 in the league anytime soon, unless you aim to tank, he'd get mauled by too many matchups.
