Following Potential 2018 Draftees

I mean, I think they both played about the same role they would in the NBA, Grayson is just going to have to do his off the bench. The difference is Donte was doing his in the perfect system, he really had nothing holding him back. Allen had to play with a lot of freshman and in a more antiquated two true big heavy lineups as well as next to a guard like Duvall who couldnt shoot at all.

BTW I heard that Duval is working with the guy that changed Tatum's shot and reworking his mechanics completely. If somehow he gets to 35-38% from 3, he might be a steal in the draft.

Ehh, I'm just not excited for a project PG at all, especially one that has to learn how to shoot.

Offensively they are going to be looked to be shot creators, shooter and to use screens to create just like they did in college. The big-time concern is who can they guard? Both are too small to guard most 2's. Are they quick enough to guard 1's? And if they are 1's why aren't we looking at big wings like the elite teams play?

I have to profess a certain level of ignorance to Grayson's defensive abilities. Donte does seem like the better prospect there, and that might be enough to put him over Grayson. But I really dont know. I have question with both of them given their size.

Only know what I’ve read and that was that he’s not good. I think Donte moves better literally and has good fundamentals to guard most 1/2s.

I know dukes defense was awful but I believe it was more related to Bagley.

I didn’t look at how they tested athletically... I think both did well... from what I did watch I think Donte moves better.

I hope we just draft Okobo and think there are better options at 21 than Donte and Allen.

GA isn’t my first choice However, I wouldn’t hate it if we drafted him. I don’t see him as a starter, but off the bench. Assuming we resign Exum, he’d obviously guard sg’s while GA takes pg’s. Also I’m higher on GA then I am on DD. GA has played pg as his primary role on a good Duke team. Could probably play pg in a pinch or some pg here and there when needed.

Don’t know anything about Okobo. What’s his game like?

Okobo is kinda perfect imo. High upside guy with potential skill (shot creation) we need and don't have enough of at the pg spot. If he pops or shows potential we can choose between Ricky and Dante and allocate resources to other positions. Worst case I think he ends up as a good backup pg, but he could have a minor role this year as he gets up to speed.

Seems weird to draft a backup pg when you have two good options in X and Rubio.
