I’m higher on Bates-Diop than most. His length and bucket getting ability is a really nice combination. If he can bulk up a bit I think he could be a great small ball 4 or 5.

Deandre Jordan sucks and guys like Capella arent even hard to come by - the teams where they can be successful are. You put CC in the paint by himself in Orlando and watch what happens...
Yeah but they can be good pieces on a good team

Wouldn't be shocked if Justin Jackson sneaks in at the end of the 1st.

His physical profile is a damn near identical match to Kawhi and Draymond

Who's y'all pick for the superstar most likely to get traded tonight?

Think I'm going with Kemba

good teams don't need to wait on high risk lottery picks though. they can just buy a pick, role player, etc

a lot of these guys are gonna be in some shyt because a bad team is gonna put way more on them than they're ready for instead of doing a rookie a favor by giving them a clear, defined role. that kind of thing polishes up a nba skill that'll keep them in the league and also keep them on the court in a winning environment

for a guy like JJJ who couldn't even stay on the court in college and is crazy young.... how many lottery teams are really gonna be like "just do this"? they ain't got time for role players. they need franchise players and will develop kids for just that - they can be role players when they fail

He lost by taking his name out last year. He'll be a Caris LeVert type pick, hopefully he stays healthy.

Yeah the injury and his 3pt shooting taking a nosedive really submarined his stock.

If he's healthy I could see him having an Anunoby like impact if he lands in the right spot.
