Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

Closest PG comp is Reddish. Cam has a ton of improving to do but if he can figure out how to play basketball and continue to improve (and he is improving) he'll basically be the same player at his ceiling.

There is no PG comp in this draft. Let's just say that.
 
Outside of Zion I haven't watched much college basketball...

So looking at dudes projected where we will draft... PJ Washington kinda caught my eye as maybe a stretch 4 type... Is he good at basketball?
 
Yeah, I think Washington is a top 14 player in the draft. For sure better than Hachimura.

I will trust you there. Seems like there are some interesting players around where we are drafting... though some of the guys I will end up liking will move up through the process.

Is this draft weak because the mid lotto through teens is weaker than normal. Seems like late first looks as hit and miss as ever.

When people say weak, they typically mean top end talent, so a lot of meh guys go high. That's very much true this year.

PG wasn't that highly regarded coming out of college at Fresno State. He had great measurables and two-way potential, but was inconsistent.

PJ Washington is okay. He shoots okay, rebounds okay, defends pretty well, plays pretty hard, can handle a bit. He doesn't seem to be elite at anything that makes him stand out. His measurables are okay, not elite. If he could develop as a playmaker, that would be his best case, imo.

The guy to compare him against, imo, is Grant Williams at Tennessee. Williams has more motor, more mojo, and is just better in general. Tennessee plays UK this weekend, so Washington and Williams should matchup some head to head.

PJ has a 7'3 wingspan. What you smoking going on about no elite measurables.
