Jeremy Woo has 10 takeaways in this year's draft.  Most relevant from C's POV:

1. Thinks Hampton's stock will drop, as a number of GMs have confided they don't think he has good feel for the game. That he should be evaluated as a 2 (shooting guard), not a swing 1/2 as he doesn't really create. Plus not a good shooter.

2. Thinks Xavier Tillman should be taken in the 1st round, that he is good value, has outplayed most at his position.

3. Thinks Pokusevski may be worth the gamble, especially for a team with multiple picks and the job security to swing and miss (might as well have said Danny Ainge), you can draft and stash him, with the hope he will pay off big.  But based on the numbers so far, he is pretty inefficient as a scorer in a pretty low skilled league, so don't get too excited.

4. Thinks Tyrell Terry deserves to be taken in the teens given his shooting prowess.

Good read, see link below.
