Steven Enoch could be a big-man in our range at the end of the draft. He's old (22), but he is a real difference maker for Louisville. Doesn't get too much play (21MPG roughly), but he possesses really good OBPM, DBPM, BPM and WS/48 numbers since arriving at Louisville. Great rebounder, and has shown flashes of being able to shoot a three.
I really like the way Tyrese Haliburton plays.
Daniel Oturu is a big having a really nice season. Has a lovely touch around the ring.
Omer Yurtseven (seems like we have talked about him for 4 years straight) could be another late-round target.
I love Paul Reed. Developing jump-shot, but is a great rebounder and defender, and can score.
Feel like Ashton Hagans has become somewhat forgotten about. Could be a good pickup.
Avidjia also seems good, but don't know much about him.
Don't really want us to end up with 3 first rounders to be honest. Not sure if any team is looking to trade down though, who knows. Ultimate dream is we're able to package into the top 5 and snag Wiseman or something like that, but 2021 seems like a stronger draft to me. Jalen Green, Evan Mobley, Jalen Johnson, Ibou Dianko Badji (physical monster) and Saddiq Bey are all fun prospects, to name a couple.
Add to that Cade Cunningham, Terrance Clarke(Super Freak Athlete from Dorchester!) and Greg Brown. It is really a loaded draft.
So, the Memphis pick is a good pick, a likely lottery pick whether it's this year or next. Since the C's are contending now (with some luck this year..health for us, etc.) and certainly contending next year and onward, I want the pick this year, not next. I think pick 7-8 in this year's draft will be just as good as pick 10-15 in next years. It takes so long to acclimate players...let's get another guy on board, hopefully a PF, maybe center, but whatever, BPA, and get him into our rotation asap.
Either that or trade the pick.
If you want to gamble that Memphis has an injury next year which puts them down at picks 1-4, okay I'll accept the idea of gambling. I can't picture a healthy next year's Memphis team bringing a pick higher than 10. And all the players you guys listed at the top of next year's draft are likely going between 1 and 8, 10 at the latest. If they fall out of that range they're probably not as good as currently advertised.
If Danny has a secret plan for his offseason that makes this year's picks superfluous, then okay, trade the picks into the future. Or trade for a stud big.
