Whoever takes a chance on him early is banking on him becoming a respectable outside shooter and improving tremendously as a playmaker/ball-handler. I like Vassell a lot more than Okoro. I'm with ya. Vassell absolutely should go off the board before Okoro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Vassell might be the most underrated player in the class. He doesn't have a super high ceiling offensively but he should still be a good offensive player. He's excellent in catch-n-shoot situations, can finish above the rim, and is actually a better scorer off the bounce then I expected. Not to mention he has All-NBA defensive potential. What do you think of Haliburton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he can be Klay Thompson. Just now, NYRaider said: What do you think of Haliburton? What's not to like? Smart ballhandler, long, good team defender, shoots well, makes the right pass. He's never going to be a superstar but there's no reason he can't be what MCW was supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's high praise but I could see it. Haliburton to me is essentially Lonzo Ball if he was elite in catch-n-shoot situations. Thoughts on Anthony Edwards?

Nobody has better tools in this class than he does but I question the BBIQ and his shot. If he's a team player and adapts, he could be good. If he's a me first type, he's going to be a better fantasy player than actual NBAer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Let's put it this way, if I had the #1 pick in this draft, I'm taking Killian Hayes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had the #1 pick and I was Minnesota I'd take Okongwu. Not a sexy pick at all but he can play alongside KAT and would really help them defensively. Hayes is my favorite guard/wing prospect in the class though, he's so skilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yeah, not situation specific, obviously. I think I'd go Hayes, Okongwu, Vassell, Avdija. Edited October 24, 2020 by beekay414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hayes is being slept on big time. I personally can't see anything anyone can say to justify Edwards or Ball being a better prospect then him.

NYRaider Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 Aleksej Pokusevski is another huge wildcard in the draft. He could go high in the lottery or slip to the second round like Bol Bol. Interested to see reports about how he looks in private workouts and to see official measurements for him.

Not sure if there's any validity behind it but I read somewhere recently that they're in love with Avdija. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Haliburton would be a solid pick for them. He can play with Coby or LaVine and would provide them with some much needed playmaking.
