re: Outside the top 4 in the draft who are the top 5 guys you want for this team?

Why are you so dubious about Luwawu then? The sample size and competition is less that we'd like, but he sure looks like a 2 way wing. Guys with that level of size and athleticism that fail usually fail because they're either one way players and never become a good enough 2 way player, or they're low motor/bad attitude types.

I have reservations, but I have reservations about Hield. The only reason my positives of one are so prominent and the negatives so prominent about the other is because 504 is continually putting down one in favor of the other like this is some zero sum game.

There are few if any sure bets in the draft once you get past the first couple picks, even then its not always the case. Same goes for Hield and Luwawu.

I do think there is a tendency for people to fall too in love with the allure of potential brought by young prospects with measurables that lack enough data to begin deflating the positive projections their fans attach to them. Luwawu may be the next Batum or he may be the next Sefolosha or he may be the next Bruno Caboclo.
