Following Potential 2020 draftees

He could be a slightly lesser version of SGA. The question is -- how much lesser? I think he's a rotation player, but there are others with higher ceilings for sure. He doesn't seem to have much burst.

YEah, that's why I think he's kind of boring. He just seems like a solid player. He's probably being discounted a bit because of how much Frank Ntlikina busted, so if he drops to 23 you might have to draft him because he's a good fit next to Mitchell long-term. I need to know more about his defense before I buy in though. Best thing about him is his age and the fact that he's putting up good numbers in the Euroleague.

Comps for RJ Hampton -- Jordan Clarkson and Zach Lavine.... assuming Hampton's shooting comes together.

These are terrible comps... I watched maybe 10 of his games this year in the NBL and I followe dhim closely as a recruit and i really think ur hardselling him short in areas that he's infact pretty advanced in for his age...
 
RJ hampton's game isnt to stack assists tho he can if needed, definitely not a greedy offensive player or a ballstopper in any way, and for damn sure he isnt Exum levels of passive either..


he's like many talented guards who score easily and have been working on his floor general qualities --- and he's made plenty of progress there....

In terms of role, talent level and impact, those would be good outcomes for Hampton. You think he's better?

For sure... Those comps ur throwing out there completely rule out him being a starting pg someday... In a world where Shake Milton is starting playoff games at PG for a tean with a $130,000,000 roster, i just cant rule that out..

There's a type of "do it all" 6'5" combo guard that i usually like, players who can handle the ball low and quick in tight space, shoot the 3 and not be pushovers on defense; Spencer Dinwiddie, Derrick White, Shake Milton come to mind... These are players that fit on most rosters...

RJ Hampton is good enough to be appraised in that sort of vein... and he's ya know... 19 years old...


If u really feel like this is a dead draft, why not gamble on a kid like that?

I honestly feel like RJ is a bit more of a natural PG than some of those guys too...

To be honest, I am in love with Obi Toppin. I have been looking at potential trading partners for Gobert if we need to trade him. The warrior would be an interesting partner in what I have researched. I could see the Jazz taking Toppin with the #2 pick. Although the biggest drawback is that it would make the GSW one of the best teams in the NBA for the next few years.

But man i love Toppin on the Jazz

Toppin is bad bad at defense.
 
Yeah, Toppin is going to struggle defensively. Offensively, though he's going to have a big impact--like 20/10. It might be possible to play him next to Gobert, but Toppin without Gobert would be a big challenge defensively.
