beekay414 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) I'll probably put a "what I would do" draft out later tonight as well. I always have fun with those because of how off the wall it can be compared to the norm. Edited August 23, 2020 by beekay414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drafting LaMelo, even if he is likely to bust, would be a shot in the arm for them and get people excited about the team. low-upside rotation players lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 Also if you're an NBA team that needs a PG, why would you take LaMelo over Haliburton? Haliburton is just a better version of LaMelo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Hornets - Killian Hayes | PG | Ulm - OK with that 4. Chicago Bulls - Devin Vassell | SG | Florida State - is rising fast and a need 5. Cleveland Cavaliers - Anthony Edwards | GF | Georgia - get rid of the small backcourt yes. 6. Atlanta Hawks - Isaac Okoru | SF | Auburn best defender for worst Defense A+ 7.

Phoenix Suns - Obi Toppin | PF | Dayton YES!!! 11. San Antonio Spurs - Aleksej Pokusevski | F | Olympiacos - Will Pop be around long enough to develop him? Pop goes for a more ready player maybe? 12. Sacramento Kings - Jaden McDaniels | F | Washington - OK, but would think/want Maxey to team up Kentucky guards 13.

Brooklyn Nets (via PHI) - Precious Achiuwa | FC | Memphis - best talent left over.. doesn't need the ball A+ 20. Miami Heat - LaMelo Ball | PG | Illawara - I hate Melo and are happy he is falling, but Miami ?? 21. Philadelphia 76ers (via OKC) - Tyrese Maxey | G | Kentucky - definitely what the doctor ordered 22.

I question his ability to defend at the NBA level. He's not long and he's relatively slow side to side. He's also not really a shooter so I'm not fully convinced he's going to be able to score consistently either. I have the same problem with Toppin that I had with Julius Randle.
