Who should we pick at #5?

[HadAnEffectHere]

Maluach shooting threes is a very stupid idea. He can't dribble and he's an elite finisher, there's no reason for him to be at the three point line ever. This makes no sense.

While I don't see Maluach becoming a perimeter sniper, you have to be able to make a jumper in the modern NBA.

College defenses are so horrible and undersized that Duke was able to feast on those basic pick and rolls all day long. All Maluach had to do was just catch the ball and dunk, rinse and repeat. He's not an "elite finisher".

With his current build, he won't even get to the paint in the NBA.

Every year there is a big, unpolished, defensive minded anchor 5 who sends out these videos. Mo Bamba?

Agents are smart enough to know that investing in a video shoot in a closed gym can sway opinion in to thinking that the potential to develop in to a stretch 5 exists even when it is very, VERY unlikely.

And yet, year after year, proven non-shooters are lighting up gums everywhere either these videos.

So is that Dairy Queen guy any good?

No. He melts under the heat of pressure

The VJ hate on this board is unbelievable.

When he becomes a star in Charlotte (ugh), people here will be rolling their eyes and saying "How could we have known??!?"

of the 3 in range i fear he could end up being meh. Please talk to me about how he's going to be a star ??? I don't see it

Kon or Queen. I think Queen could be the surprise disrupter in the draft. Going higher than expected.

Oh good lord. You’ve gone for the two biggest meh guys available. Queen is more likely to be a bust than a significant player.

No. He melts under the heat of pressure

Yeah but I heard he holds it together even if everything is upside down.

OKC's starting center is Hartenstein, but he can shoot a bit as well.

Well depending on the match-up i guess.

The point though is they’re flexible.


OKC could easily start Chet vs Turner and he’ll hold his own and be an absolute force on offense also.

Welp, what do you know, OKC started off the Finals moving Chet to the 5, Hartenstein to the bench.

I’m hoping Charlotte takes Tre, adding a defensive minded off guard next to Collier but I’ll be happy either way I just think VJ fits better than Tre

The good thing is that with Charlotte's drafting history, we should be glad they're selecting one ahead of us. Whoever they take will be the worst prospect in the end, leaving us with the better prospect and saving us from potentially making a bad selection.
