  • I'm a Paul Heyman guy.
This may sound like a homer post but I'm really looking forward to see what more Dwight Powell can do.

He's a 6'9" PF who's lanky and doesnt look strong, but is really skilled. I want to see how quick he moves, I just have this idea that he can slide down at SF pretty easily. He's got solid lateral movements (although he went against PF's), which makes me want to know if he can sustain it against quicker wing type guys (dont know if I can see him defend wings either). But a tall guy who can shoot and is fairly quick, pretty interesting prospect.

I want to see more of James Young too. During the first few minutes of the WSU game he showed flashes of that scoring ability. This is a big game, and if he can assert himself even for about 10 minutes in this game, be the best player on the court even on that short stretch, I think it'll be enough for him to propel to top 15.
2019 CStrong Historical Draft 2000s OKC Thunder.
PG: Jrue Holiday / Isaiah Thomas / Larry Hughes
SG: Paul George / Aaron McKie / Bradley Beal
SF: Paul Pierce / Tayshaun Prince / Brian Scalabrine
PF: LaMarcus Aldridge / Shareef Abdur-Raheem / Ben Simmons
C: Jermaine O'neal / Ben Wallace

I would keep an eye on Isaiah Austin on Baylor. He has a lot of skill and length for a center. I wouldn't pick him any earlier than around 28, but whenever he comes out of school, someone is going to draft him.
