Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

Reportedly, the Celtics were the team that made a promise to Matisse Thybulle during the Combine, rather than OKC. I guess the thinking would be that they're planning to keep at least one of their picks at 20 or 22 and use it on Thybulle.

I thought Ainge was another one of those GMs who never makes promises.

I don't see it with Grant Williams. Personally, I think I'd take Okeke ahead of Williams, even after the injury. Okeke is bigger, longer, shoots better, has some ability to play on the ball, and can guard 2 or 3 positions. I just don't want to wait a year for him to recover.

Well making good draft reads isn't your strong suit.

You are right, it just feels more open and fluid. Maybe I wasn't paying attention last year when the Jazz were picking about the same spot.

I think you are right about it being more fluid. I think from the mid teens and on it's pretty fluid through about 35-40.

I guess you don't. Lets see....

Last year, I was touting Jerome Robinson from Boston College, who rose from the 30s in mocks to the lottery on draft night. I wanted Troy Brown from Oregon for the Jazz who rose from the mid-20s to #15. I liked Rodions Kurucs in the 2nd round, even the year before that, and he's panned out.

A couple years ago, I called out Bam Adebayo when he was mocked in the late 30s, then he went in the lottery to Miami.

This year, I started touting Kabengele when most mocks had him in the mid-30s. Now he's moved up almost 20 spots. Bazley just jumped 30 spots, though maybe some of that was easy to predict.

If I'm wrong about Grant Williams and he becomes a significant player, you can call me out on it. ESPN just moved him down from 23 to 32 in their latest mock. I don't like him as a 4, and he's not remotely a 5. If he were longer or super athletic in a Clarence Weatherspoon sort of way, I could get with it, but right now he's meh for me. He's going to get shut down by length in the post, and he's not quick enough to do that much on the perimeter.

I'll give you Bam and Robinson.

Troy Brown fell from his original projections

Brown was considered one of our main draft targets at 21 until about 10 days before the draft. People were saying that Washington taking him at #15 was a reach. You were the other guy that picked up on him, if I'm remembering.
 
The other thing ESPN's mock is showing is that Naz Reid might be plummeting. Dude isn't in shape and doesn't have much going for him on the defensive end. I bet he got his *** kicked in our workout going against Claxton and Kab.
