Hard to find things to be interested in bc all the top European prospects are a complete crapshoot.

Alex Sarr looks legit but it seems we get Uber-athletic bigs who can shoot every year and it doesn’t always pan out . And I can’t tell at all what ricasher will be .

So for me most interesting thing to look for:

1- What does San Antonio come away with w/ those 2 picks

2- What does Houston do at #3

3- Where does Dillingham go. I think he’s a star

4- Where does Sheppard go. I think at MINIMUM he’s a lights out 15ppg shooter, with upside to be a more solidly built Tyler herro which is an all star

5- Where does Clingan go. I don’t like him as an early pick on a bad team. I like him much better going to a good team that just happens to have a lottery pick . Ie Memphis or Okc

How is Reed Sheppard not Jimmer Fredette 2.0? Can't believe he's projected to go third.

You’d have to remember this pops. Jeff Sheppard was a stupid athlete. So when Reed Sheppard tested with a 40 inch vertical it didn’t surprise me…Jimmer was not anywhere near the athlete Reed is

Also for reference Jimmer as a freshman shot 33% from 3 and averaged 7 a game

Reed averaged 14 a game and shot 50% from 3 :dead: they are not the same

Tyler herro is the better comp and reed is a way better shooter than him too

Placed a few bets for fun

1. Edey to be picked after 15 (Thought Portland would be a spot for him)

2.Topic to be drafted before Holland (Seems like a Utah or even OKC type move ,draft him and let em sit)

3. Juan Nunez to go in the 1st (just long shot fukkery)

4.Salaun top 10 (too much smoke about Detroit ,Portland and Charlotte

Herro can go get his own offense ,Reed can’t .

First draft night trade early. Washington moves Deni to Portland for the 14th pick, Brogdon, and a future pick.
