Title: test your draft skills pre-summer league
Post by: wiley on July 02, 2018, 01:14:42 AM
Ok, most are on board with the pick of Robert Williams at 27, regardless of the fact that he has some off court growing to do..

Now, who would you have picked if not Robert Williams?  Of course, in many cases some years are needed to really tell much, but let's see if Summer League proves you right for this brief moment.

My non Robert Williams pick in order (list as many as you want):

1.  Khyri Thomas--fell to 38....sheesh...who cares you don't desert your binkie.
2.  Melvin Frazier.  Intriguing player!
3.  Musa:  intrigued by offense off the bench
4.  Bonga:  why not?  then you can forget about it for 2-3 years of European development
5.  KBD:  fell to 48.  What's not to like?

Ok let's see how these guys do...
btw, I'm quite glad Khyri Thomas was traded to Detroit and thus will not be a Sixer.

All my late first rounder binkies were taken before except for:

Spellman
Okobo


Brandon McCoy is a big one to look out for in Summer League/G League. Great not-drafted signing by the Bucks.

I expect flashes of major potential from Okobo...I would like to see Spellman do well. I like to see players with good all around game do well.

KBD and Khyri Thomas were my two binkies that were on the board.

Hard to understand KBD at 48.  If it's due to his age that's silly.  He looks like a great get for Minny.

I hope Smart is back but if not I'd like you to do one of your shifty trades-- based on Morris to Detroit for K. Thomas....

Two teams that could really use Morris are Detroit and Minny.  They'd be silly not to be interested.  Minny especially needs toughness and more quality wing depth...and Morris also equals PF depth.
