Following Potential 2020 draftees

Cy mentioned Wieskamp and Perry

45. Boston Celtics (via BKN)
Joe Wieskamp | 6-7 forward | 20 years old, sophomore | Iowa
Over the last two months, Wieskamp has been arguably the most underrated player in college basketball, and maybe the most underrated draft prospect in the country. In that time, he’s averaging 18.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting over 48 percent from the field and 39 percent from 3. And at 6-foot-7 with real wing size, there’s reason to buy into him as an awesome floor-spacer at the next level. I expect him to be a draft riser over the course of the next month, especially if Iowa makes an NCAA Tournament run with him and likely Euro basketball star Luka Garza.

57. Charlotte Hornets (via BOS)
Reggie Perry | 6-10 center | 19 years old, sophomore | Mississippi State
Perry was good at both the G League Combine and the NBA Combine last year, and then went to the U19 World Cup this summer and won the MVP by averaging 17 points. All he’s done this year is something similar, averaging 17 points and 10 rebounds with over a block and a steal per night. He’s in the running for SEC Player of the Year. So why is he lower on the board for teams? NBA teams just aren’t sure what position he is. Because he’s not a shooter, it’s going to be tough to play him at the 4. However, he’s not quite big/long enough to be a true rim protector and interior presence. He is a potential backup big man who will need to keep developing the jumper to stick, even if he’s this productive.

Recent ESPN Insider mock has us taking Robert Woodard at 24. He was #43 on Sam Vecenie's recent mock.
 
A guy that might be worth our lousy 2nd round pick or brought to summer league as undrafted is Justian Jessup a 6'7" wing from Boise State. A scout at the SDSU game called him "Perhaps the next Kyle Korver." He dropped 22 on SDSU the No. 4 ramked team with 5-10 from 3.

Do we have a 2nd round pick or did it get traded?

Tre Jones is such a Jazz pick. I hate it

Still seeing a lot of Tre Jones in different mocks. Does indeed feel like a typical Jazz pick. Gives me Jacque Vaughn vibes. His scouting report should make the Conley haters happy:

'Jones took another year of college to develop his outside jump shot which was very inconsistent. Other than his shaky jumper his game is all around and can be seen crashing the boards, getting the ball up quickly and making the right plays. He is expected to be a shorter version of Delon Wright but if he gains a very much needed outside game, he has the potential to be like Mike Conley.'
 
Started looking at the draft a bit... there are lots of interesting guys... will be curious to see what happens as draft boards kinda narrow in... seem to be all over the place right now.

Even with the two we got for Favors?

I don't think that kicks in this year, maybe next year. Our 2nd rd this year went to Dallas but was then traded to Golden St.

Our 1st rd pick is protected 1-7 and 15-30. If it doesn't convey, it'll probably turn into 2 2nd rd picks several years later.

Jacque Vaughn is a great comparison IMO. They're sneaky-crafty getting to the rack.

Unfortunately they're also comparable in that they can't really shoot. I'd be fine with Tre Jones if he'd be a better shooter (but then he'd be a higher pick). He may get better, but there's not a lot of minutes in the league for a guard that can't shoot (and isn't Russell Westbrook or Demar Derozan).
