re: Sochan has to be the pick

Who can score off the dribble?

Zion, BI and CJ

Or did you mean which draft pick? Not sure, I don't follow the draft too closely.

59% free throw shooter scares me.

I’m out.

look at the Celtics. Down their two best defenders and up double digits on the better team, on the road

frick it, I’m in.

But fans love offense.

have you met GTA and not on herb?

Why? We only need 1 shooter?

you’re right, nobody on the current roster besides Murphy can shoot

what was I thinking

quote:

---

We were 27th in the league in 3 point %. 3 of the 4 teams in the conference finals are in the top 15.

Our ORTG post CJ trade was in the 118’s, the NBA record was in the 116’s by the Nets last season. We currently hold the top spot for best offense per 100 possessions in the playoffs.

And we are adding a guy who averaged 27 pts a game in just his second year in the league, and was the leagues most efficient iso player.

We are fine offensively.

It's gonna be hard to convince fans to spend a top 10 pick on a player who shot the 3 ball under 30% and under 60% free throws.

With that said Sochan is going to be a nice player in the league.

From the guys that seem to keep coming up.

Sochan is a 4 that can’t shoot, and is a head below the rim athlete, but does seem to hustle…hard pass at #8…there are better and more ready options.

Mathurin and Sharpe may both be gone, but they have better size/length, ball skill, athleticism combinations. Agbaji is older but also fits that mold and shot better than Mathurin.

Davis is undersized, not a dynamic athlete, and a poor shooter…another hard pass at #8. He plays hard but his physical limitations at the NBA level are real.

Dyson Daniels has good size (more so if he is a guard), but is a fairly average NBA athlete and shot poorly all year with the couple of exceptions that seem to have people excited. His flashes give a bit of hope for more upside, but he is a better pick value down the board from #8.

Griffin is an X factor…he didn’t show the same athleticism as in HS, but has a great frame and shot the lights out. If his athleticism comes fully back (even in HS his run/jump skills were behind Mathurin, Sharpe, and Agbaji levels) and his shooting isn’t a mirage then he could be a nice SG/Wing player, but his meds are pretty scary.

Ivey is an athletic shoot first PG/SG in the Collin Sexton mold but with a less proven jumper. He is a high risk/reward pick IMO depending on his work ethic and development. Could be a Jordan Clarkson type bench flamethrower if he develops, but has a low floor.

Keegan Murray…likely a nice bench producer but star potential is pretty low due to lack of raw NBA level athleticism.

TyTy….just no…was invisible for most of SEC play.

Davis is not an undersized SG im confused.

You are one of the ones beating the BPA drums saying fit doesn’t matter

Go back and read my posts, fit doesn’t matter at the top of the draft, but as you get more into larger tiers fit definitely comes into play to separate guys. I just said that word for word yesterday.

I would also heavily disagree with your offense and rebounding statements. Go back and read my big board from earlier, fluid ball handler and playmaker. Just because he is a poor shooter doesn’t mean he’s bad offensively. He’s also not a bad rebounder.

Lastly, back to my big board. I had him at #7 today, so let’s not act like this is just about fit. I think he’s a more complete and more well rounded prospect.
