Reminds me of Marcus Morris when Morris was at Kansas.

Morris is/can be a black hole in terms of shooting (good or bad)

Hachimura has a higher iq than this

I have seen quite a few Gonzaga games living out west and there were times he reminded me of the Greek Freek; not at the level Giannis is at right now, but you can see some things that remind you of him.  I also think I can see a little of Kawhi Leonard, the trajectory on his shot for instance.  I think if he's available at 14 we should definitely consider him.

Morris has a high BBIQ ...he just also happens to have an absurd amount of confidence he can score from anywhere at anytime. Kinda like Kobe, only without the all-time athleticism and all-time talent.

But back on subject, Hachimura is more similar to Marvin Williams than he is Giannis.

I think he has Paul Milsap potential. He has good wingspan, he's a good athlete, but he'll have to play a lot different style than what he played at Gonzaga if he's going to thrive. He's a superior prospect to his teammate, and IMO, if the Celtics think he can become a good shooter, he's not only worthy of 14th, he should be a top 10 pick.

Clarke is just too limited and undersized to do what he does well in the NBA. I think he's a wasted pick. Hope we don't go there.

I think Nicholas Claxton has potential to be the next GF.  He is climbing up my board:

Hachimura is a liability on defense. He needs to improve it first before we crown him as the next Giannis.

I think he is vastly over rated.

I think a better 3 point shooting version of rookie contract Marvin Williams is actually a pretty good comparison.

Strong bench player, but will probably start on some weaker / more shallow teams

Judging by his last name I would guess he is not Greek.
