If you could predict one player that you think Danny would love to take, who would it be? (This of course assumes no trade of picks)
Let's take the top 4 picks off the table. The top 3 aren't getting traded to us, and the Lakers would never deal their 4th pick to us.
My prediction: Nassir Little. He is an elite athlete, very similar to Jaylen Brown. Has a very good motor, loves to defend the top players on the other team, great length.
He shot nearly 80% free throw percentage in college, which is a good correlation to developing into a good 3 point shooter in the NBA. Plus it should encourage to go for contact and get rewarded at the charity strip.
I know he had a down year at NC. But this guy just seems more fit to be an NBA player than a college player.
I know we are going for more size. But guys like Bol are such a long shot. Little feels like he will develop into an NBA starter in 2-3 years.
Right now ESPN projects him to be taken by Minn at the 11th pick. I could see Danny trying to move up a few spots, by offering them the 14th and the 20th. Saving the 22nd pick to see who drops to them. Someone decent will.
Who do you think will be Danny's binkie in this draft?
