Sorry, meant to say defensive IQ. He's fine offensively in that regard. He's maxed out to me, which is not something I want from a euro prospect. There are a few guys I'd prefer in that range for scoring ability.

Eh, it's fine that he may be maxed out. His skill set fits the modern NBA as is. If he wasn't maxed out, he would be projected much, much higher.

I don't think it does, again because of the defensive limitations. I will say, you're not alone in your opinion. We're fairly split on him and generally it's at the extremes.

Eh, I don't think he's going to be some defensive hindrance. He's not Trae Young there. Is he going to be an all-NBA level defender? No. But that's fine. Some of the best PGs in the league aren't plus defenders anyways. Curry, Kyrie, Russ, Dame.

I think he is. I'm not totally sold on the offense either. His shot is too far out in front of his body, which can be fixed, but his handle is loose and he can get really sloppy. I just don't see anything more than an 8th or 9th man. That's why him being maxed out is an issue for me. I'd rather just take Aaron Holiday, Jevon Carter, or Jalen Brunson as a backup one. I think Okobo is lumped in with someone like Tony Carr at the back of the 2nd.

Eh, that's fine. Everyone's allowed their likes and dislikes. I just really disagree here. LIS, part of it is his style is almost perfect for what the Bucks need out of the 1. He is really good in the PnR and his off the dribble shooting is top notch. I think Budenholzer can get the best out of him.

Last one, methinks...


8. Cleveland Cavaliers (via BKN) - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander | PG | Kentucky
 

I’ve been hearing for awhile if we stay at 8 that we’re really high on Shai. 

This draft will be really interesting for Cleveland as far as what Lebron has told the Cavs what he’s doing.
