Following Potential 2020 draftees

My favorite part of this draft is the 10 - 16 range with guys like Vassell, Williams, Pokusevski, Hampton, Maxey and Saddiq Bey. I think all those guys are very likely to be solid starters.
 
I'm also coming around on Sam Merrill. The Jazz could use a true motion shooting sniper like a Duncan Robinson, and Merrill could be that dude.



This is an example of a guy I would want to take if the Jazz were able to trade into the 2nd round in the 30's. Don't think he is going to last past the 40's with the rise of Duncan Robinson.
 
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.

Killian Hayes could make sense with Mitchell in the backcourt as a 6-5 PG.
 
I've been looking at some risers/sleepers recently. Jay Scrubb and Grant Riller have gotten some buzz in our range. I'm not seeing it with Scrubb... But I think Riller could be really good. Seems like he could be a guy that falls to Toronto to kind of replace FVV and everyone wonders how he slipped so far.

Riller was teammates with Brantley in college. Would be a crazy reunion. Jazz might be the only team to ever reunite two sets of mid-major teammates (Hayward/Mack and possibly Riller/Brantley).

Merrill is on the older side. If he can show some playmaking skills, I think that helps him rise in the 2nd round.

I'm looking at his stats though, and his shooting is better than Nwora's across the board. Really elite shooting splits.

Yeah, Nwora is awful lmao. Merrill is the elite of elite at shooting. Makes hard looks with people in his face off motion.
 
Sam Vecenie in The Athletic posted a new big board. Let me know if there's someone you're curious about.

He also wrote a long article about why he's buying RJ Hampton stock after his shot mechanics changed. He moved Hampton up to 7 on his big board...
