Delon Wright at PG and Marcus Smart at SG. Where do I sign up for this?

What a dunk - 0:50

More like a kemba walker/wall type of pg but 6-5. Can hit the open 3/jump shot. FT shooting can improve

Could be available with our 2nd 1st. We could use a score 1st pg . Is a very good ball handler and defender

Cool. Thanks for the vids man, TP.

Looks like a big Darren Collison to me.  31% college 3 point shooter, up from 22% his freshman year.  6 assists and 2.3 steals per game is nice.

A bigger more athletic Collison.    Kind of has a body/game like Elfrid Payton also

Don't think Smart can start at the pg position. Will be a good SG or off the bench SG/PG.  The celts can use a guy like Wright. A 6-5 scoring pg, sure handles.  Smart, AB, Turner all have shaky handles for a pg

Another 6-5 pg i been keeping my eye on is Andrew Harrison. If he can improve on his offensive efficiency , he could be a steal. Maybe we could get him with one of our 2nd round picks. 
A "pure" 6-5 pg similar MCW. Better jump shooting stroke . CBS could really help with his shooting

Yeah I'd also like a tall PG to start next to Smart with Smart as backup PG (starting 2).  That's one reason I'm on the D'angelo Russell bandwagon.  But if we get a big or a SF with our first pick I'm curious about three guys with the Clippers or Philly pick. This guy Wright, Jerian Grant and Tyrone Wallace from Cal.  Do you know anything about Grant or Wallace?  I'd be curious what you think Wright has that the other two don't.  Haven't seen any of them but especially Grant and Wright seem ready to step in and help and maybe earn starter minutes at PG on an NBA team.

That was his junior year.  He's a senior and almost 23 now.

Having lived in KY last year and on the edge of it this year, I hope we do not get him, he is very limited athletically and I think he may struggle in the NBA as a result.

Neither Andrew Harrison or Delon Wright are "pure" PGs.  I've watched Kentucky quite a bit and Andrew Harrison doesn't impress me at all.  He's a big reason why their offense isn't very good.  His backup, Tyler Ullis, is a much better PG but is a liability defensively.  I haven't seen Wright play but he is an old senior and his draftexpress write-up doesn't indicate much upside and potential difficulty translating to the NBA.  I'd pass on both for the clippers pick.

I currently have no interest in Harrison. Wright on the other hand, I do. I'd give him a lot of consideration with the Phily pick. As mentioned above, I'm also curious about Jerian Grant but know little about him and have never seen him play.

DraftExpress has Caris Levert, 6-6" G from Michigan going 14th.  Kinda similar.  Skimmed a couple games and grabbed these clips.  Just learned that he's out for 3 months though, effectively ending his season.

I like to include highlights and lowlights.  Highlight only videos make everyone look like MJ and it's hard for me to evaluate.  When you watch the high and low you come away far less certain, but learn more, I think.

He's an unselfish player, good court vision, long arms make him disruptive on defense.  His team stunk this year.

We need a "secure ball handler" not another ok ball handler

ball handler that can score and someone able to score/defend down low.  2 of the biggest needs this team has
