It's kinda true though... Pump + downlighting. Every year there's "Wiggins is jacked now!" posts by Timberwolves fans on other sites because of pics like this and he's still skinny as ****. Fultz had the same kind of pic before the draft last year and he looked normal/kind of doughy once he was in normal lighting with no pump.

They are right.

Couple weeks later at OTAs
Still jacked obviously. But huge difference.

There's a chance Okobo turns out to be really good, like almost Lillard good.
That's a stretch.
The Red Mamba is the Jazz pick if he's on the board.
Have you seen Okobo? He caught my eyes on highlights and looked even better on full game tape later.
BTW One thing that Donte seems incredibly adept at is shooting off screens and handoffs. This is one of the staples of our offense - DHOs and screen actions on the perimeter, but we've not had a player who is automatic coming off screens and DHOs, even Hood and Hayward were not amazing at those. I can see Donte fitting very well in our system and exploiting a wrinkle of our offense that is already present but unexplored. Add that to his ability to shoot off the PnR and he becomes a very intriguing secondary ballhandler.

I agree. He's going to be high on my board when I'm done putting it together. But I have a hard time seeing him go before 16. New York at 9 needs front court help. Philly at 10 needs spot up shooting not another ball handler. Charlotte at 11 really needs to hit this pick and will probably be averse to making a "risky" pick, especially if consensus "safer" prospects like Sexton or SGA are available. The Clips at 12 or 13 is a possibilty but probably unlikely if Sexton or SGA is still there, assuming that they even select a PG or combo G. Nuggets at 14 is possible but I think it's likely that they trade out. Washington at 15 needs a big.
I think his window likely opens at 16. If Phoenix takes Ayton at 1 they'll still have a need at PG. Milwaukee at 17 desperately needs rebounding, they probably go with a big. San Antonio at 18 could take him. Atlanta at 19 could take him. Minnesota at 20 is probably unlikely. I think he's likely to go somewhere from 16 to 30. I think that there's a solid chance that he's still there when we pick.
