The projected 2nd round PF/C that I'm interested in more than Christmas is Shaun Long from Louisiana-Lafayette. He's 6' 10" so I think he could play the 4 or the 5, rebounds well, blocks some shots and has a good "stretch" offensive game.

I saw him a few times LY when I was trying to get a look at Elfrid Payton and was intrigued. I think the questions with him are about guarding NBA 4's, but I'd take a flyer in round 2.

Shawn Long is intriguing as he provides some rim protection and I think he could play immediately.  He is a 2nd rounder and seems to have some value, especially if he measures in at 6'10" so he could play center.
2019 historical draft.  Pick 12

Tim Duncan, Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor, Scottie Pippen, Willis Reed, Mitch Richmond, Sam Jones, Dan Majerle, Bob Cousy, Rasheed Wallace, Shawn Kemp, Marcus Camby
