Following Potential 2020 draftees

Ok, please point the All-Stars out in the past who are like Tyler Bey....

I'm likely the higher on Bey than most everyone (besides yourself) as I have him 14 on my big board, but there is just very very very little chance he ever becomes an All-Star. If he develops a dangerous 3pt shot you might be looking at a bouncy Robert Covington, but that isnt an All-Star, it's just a damn good starter.

The dream is Kahwi, a good outcome is Robert Covington. More likely, he is Trevor Ariza.

Well at least you used the term dream because that's the only chance Bey has at being anything like Kawhi.

His wingspan is Kevin Durant like. And he is the highest jumper in the draft. And he is known for his defense. Just improve the offensive area (there is a lot to do there). Kawhi was a crappy shooter by the way.

I would put his chances at ever being a primary on-ball option at less than 1%. He just isnt a ball-handler, playmaker, or shot creator and there is very little to suggest that is in the cards.

His upside is a high level multi-positional defender who is a + finisher and respectable low volume 3pt shooter (like a Royce). I don't think he even has the ability to be a volume shooter like Covington.
 
Bey can have be a big impact player but will not have the numbers or game to be an all star. High level glue guys can have a huge value without being an all star.

If his shooting was without question he would not be around where we are picking. I think he is an NBA player even if he never becomes a really good shooter. If he gets to 35-40% on medium volume then I think he could be great. I see no reason that he can't be a Torrey Craig level guy and has a chance to be more.

Okay, but you can sign Glenn Robinson III to come off the bench at around the league minimum. I like Tyler Bey, but right now to me he projects as a back-up a la Larry Nance Jr., unless he can get his shooting up to at least 36%. That was more or less the magic number that got Royce O'Neale time on the floor. Bey is the type of versatile defender the Jazz should be looking for, and I would think the Jazz take Bey if they trade back to #26 or #27.

Personally, I might go for Paul Reed ahead of Tyler Bey. I like the extra size, and I like Reed's ability to play downhill.
 
I heard Vecenie saying that he and some nba people are skeptical of the combine measurements this year. Not that Harris didn’t measure up but just in general they had some skepticism.

Guys have had longer to train, can set-up their own time (within a certain window) when to go the gym for testing, probably can better warm up/stretch for testing because it isnt a part of a whole day operation like the combine was. It's fair to say the measurements dont mean much since they cant be accurately compared to past measurements where guys have had a shorter time to train for the combine.

I'm not sure really sure what is so hard about standardizing these test. Verts are easy to measure. Wingspan are easier to measure. Sprint/Lane Agility/Shuttle seems pretty easy to measure.
