Omari Spellman seems like a real possibility at #27. The Cs have been trying to develop a back up who can play a similar role as Al. First it was Mickey who had potential on D but never developed on the perimeter and didn't seem strong enough. Now its Yabu who has a chance but needs to show that he can be consistent on D.
Spellman is an interesting fit. He already played the role at Villinova and is already a very good 3pt shooter.
His measurements are similar to Al's
Spellman
6'8 W/O shoes 253lbs and a 7'2 wingspan with 13.75% BF
Horford
6'8 W/O shoes 246lbs and a 7'.075" wingspan @ 9% BF
If Spellman can continue to trim down and plays in the 240s he might add enough lateral quickness to excel in Al's role down the road.
I also have to point out that DiVincenzo could be an interesting pick
I like Spellman but I don't think he's shown any ability as a facilitator, the way Jontay Porter has. Not sure he can play Al's role without this skill. That said, he was a great 3 point shooter this year, and a good rebounder, and he has the potential to play competent D.
