They will end up with the Blazers pick if they make the playoffs. Rockets wont get the Pistons 1st. If the Rockets pick not top 4 they will most likely end up with the Heat 1st round. I'm hoping for a top 4 pick. Needs SG- Oladipo probably wont resign. Gordon is not the future answer at SG going forward. PF- Tucker is older and wont be in the long term plans SF- Gordon is not a SF and he is starting there by default. If Houston ends up with a top 4 pick you want one of Jalen Green (SG), Jonathan Kuminga (SF/PF), or Cade Cunningham (PG/SG). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Any mock draft that has Minny picking being outside of the top 3 is a winner for me. I would also go Jalen Johnson for the Warriors. His size at the wing is just to good to pass on and would be an ideal fit with Kerr. I like the SGs towards the end of the draft that they could take with their own pick.

11sanchez11 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 suns prob gonna draft Corey Kispert I think James Jones has two traits he looks for in prospects, they are really good shooters for their position and they are the type of person who everyone goes out of their way to say they are a nice person. (idk if the 2nd trait applies to kispert) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows if Klay will play at a high level after missing two seasons with serious lower body injuries, not to mention he'll be 31 at the start of next season. I think Kuminga would be an excellent fit but he was off the board in my mock. I like Green to GS because he has legitimate #1 scorer in the league potential. They can use him in a super sixth man role as he can play with Curry and Klay. And as they look to rebuild they'll have two young guys with extremely high ceilings in Green and Wiseman to build around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Excited to watch Kuminga in a little bit. His potential is out of this world. Green as well a lot rides on these two players and if this G league thing will just be a phase or a real way to get to the NBA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get paid to play instead of playing for free in what has been a shell of a year in college basketball. I like Cunningham but I think Kuminga has the highest ceiling in this class.

NYRaider Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Jalen Johnson has opted out of the rest of the season and will prepare for the draft. Will be interesting to see how it effects his draft stock, he only played 9 games his senior year of HS and 13 games at Duke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Duke is the perceived favorite to land Patrick Baldwin Jr, the #1 recruit in the 2021 class, but if I'm him there's no way I'm playing college basketball next year. I'd sign that $500K G-League contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
