Him Roco and Simmons means you can switch everything 1-3 but you get burned by little quick guys edit: eh this makes more sense 2-4 if we believe in Fultz at 1 wor

Who are already the ones who give us a lot of trouble are iso midrange guys

I think Sixers want 3&D players bc they know they can run the offense through Embiid, Simmons, and Saric

It's crazy Trae young has sneak back up the top 10 in some of the mock drafts I've seen

Don’t think he ever left. Young’s struggles in college aren’t too worrying to me. That OU team was garbage. Maybe would’ve won 2 conference games without Young. Teams won’t be able to blitz him like that in the league. His playmaking and shooting touch are elite

Zhaire Smith from Texas Tech is the sleeper in this draft. If he falls to 20 - Philly needs to come up and get him

Smith is a good defender but he can’t shoot or handle rn. Don’t think he fits with Fultz and Simmons at all.

I dont see Jaren as SaR like. Rich or poor.

I see him as a blend of Capela, Mcdyess and Marvin Williams. His game is styled a lot like Capela. But his tools and feel for the game are a lot like McDyess and his mindset, coordination and drive is a lot like Marvin.

Hes a polished kid who played at a very structured HS. He doesn't do the little things but he consistently does things that makes impact like blocks, hedging, screening, etc. Doesnt have a dog in him. Just wants to help a team win and is scheme perfect meaning he could fit any scheme as a big 4, small ball 5.

Highly projectable but I am not sold on him as he like many in this draft is personnel specific

He will either be a boom or bust player...I think he will be a bust...he's a DJ Augustin with gunslinger mentality
Hes a boom or bust. I really think hes a lot like Dennis Schroeder in the fact that he has severe flaws with elite strengths. As a PG, it will be extremely tough for him to reach his potential. Hes completely scheme and personnel specific. Even with the scheme, he needs the personnel. He needs shooters, screeners, cutters and someone with elite talent around him to make his life a lot easier. Hes needs to be a #1 option usage wise while not being a #1 option for that team.

Been watching Zhaire Smith and I can see him having a Russ Westbrook type rise in the draft, he’s one of the most explosive college players I’ve ever seen.

Bridges is rated higher than Josh Hart was last yr...and Josh Hart was the second best SG in his draft class

Bridges is disciplined enough to accept a 3&D role in the right situation and thrive

Bridges would be perfect for OKC but I don't think he gets past the Knicks

Hart the 2nd best SG in the draft, even if he is that faint praise and doesn’t say much about the others.

He can shoot & he has size...he might have the best touch of any big man in this draft

If he reaches his potential, he would be a 20-10-2 player

Shareef in his prime was good for 18-20 pts and 8-10 rebs...he too had a nice touch
