NBA Mock Draft

[Bigblackted4]

Hart’s a nice bench piece. You’re comparing Bridges to elite 3&D players. I mean I hope he’s disciplined enough to accept that role because that’s what his role was in college.

Honestly I think Mikal is a bit overrated, especially defensively. He’ll be a good nba player but he’ll be much closer to Jae Crowder than Klay Thompson.

I agree with this on Mikal in a couple of the games I watched he had trouble staying in front of quick guards the dude from Michigan drove past him the whole first half. I like his verstalitily on his jumper but crowded is a good comparison.

 

[#1 pick]

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

Hes a below average finisher. His touch is trash compared to Bagley. Underwhelming to Ayton and honestly, doesnt really fair well v. Bamba.

I seriously doubt he will ever average 20PPG. He might have the tools but it's not in him to do that on a nightly basis. He ain't built like that.

SAR used to lead the NBA Shots blocked attempts yearly. He was a mediocre finisher and unlike Jaren, he had good post skills.

I was referring to his jumper

Kid can shoot triples, switch on defense and block shots...fits into the modern nba

Hart was 13-6-2 as a starter who played good D and was decent from long range...Hart projects to be a high level 3&D player

If he can guard 3s i think he can be a decently level 3&D and you have to be careful with players playing so well toward the end of the season. I like Hart but think he’s more of a third guard to pair next to a strong creator and like size guard.

 

[Bigblackted4]

Jaren Jackson to me his ceiling is Ibaka with a little less athleticism. I don’t see him as dynamic offensively but his defense can be frightening in the right system.

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

Hart was legit when given minutes

Right now I do view Hart as a third guard but I think he can develop into a valuable starting role player

I can see where you're coming from....however, JJJ is further ahead at the same age in terms of development

 

[Jerz]

I hear u.. Think about his ceiling though. Athletic, defends, good bball iq, and he has a solid looking form- to develope a jumper. And Fultz needs to be shipped frfr

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

Agreed. But that's not SAR. That's all I was saying. That said, I am not sold on his shot translating either but i do feel he might have more success at it than Lonzo

Age is overrated. It's about talent and ability. Some guys peak sooner than others. Some later than others.

You're trippin'...JJJ is already an elite shot blocker and good three point shooter

90-95% of the time, you'd take a 19 y.o. over a 22 y.o. w/ the same skillset

Yeah I feel his quickness is overrated. And nova never put him on bigs. He’s not the high level 3&D guy that people are projecting imo. He’s not gonna be someone you can feel good about having him switch 1-4.

I like smith but I don’t think Philly is a good spot for him. Needs to see major minutes on a bad team to work on his offense in real time or a team that desperately needs defense and can mitigate his spacing issues.

Think his best spot is on the clippers or Denver. Maybe San Antonio if they blow it up. New York would work too but that might be high for him if MPJ or the Bridges are there

My little bro Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman was cooking Mikal Bridges but they go way back and know each other so I would not worry too much about that. I'd love to see my little bro get drafted. Don't think it happens tho. He's gonna have a great career overseas if he goes undrafted.

Yeah that's true but will that shooting translate to the NBA 3 point line? His shot is unorthodox and his release is slow. Not a guarantee his shooting translates. No doubt his skills on defense will tho. I also think Wendell Carter Jr is going to be better than Jaren Jackson Jr but that's just me.
