I'm not sure about the speed, but he's the best 'strong wing' after OG. Along this thread, it's worth doing a post mortem on Stanley Johnson to figure out why he hasn't been a better player in the league so far.

Not sure about the speed? He is at least as fast as Green.

He's ranked #18 on DX as of now and could move up more with some good shooting workouts.

Why would good shooting workouts move him up? Teams know he can shoot. Things that are going to move him up are good individual workouts, good interviews, and good athletic testing numbers. Also hope his putrid wingspan has shot up an inch or two.
 
12-30 are pretty fluid to me. A guy could drop or go way higher than anyone expects. I just dont think anyone is really worth trading up for when I feel the first round is so deep.
 
Chad Ford came out with his big board heading into the combine. Here are the rankings of note:

12. Harry Giles
15. Luke Kennard
17. T.J. Leaf
20. Tony Bradley
25. Justin Jackson
26. Moritz Wagner
27. D.J. Wilson

Some pretty interesting stuff when you compare it to DX.

I'm definitely coming around to [MENTION=3213]Wes Mantooth[/MENTION] in thinking that Ojeleye would be a very nice pick. He is really a player you could see hanging with GSW. He has the speed, athleticism, and shooting to be a 4 against the Warriors.

I've had a semi for Semi for a few weeks. Go get him.

Adebayo is a top 3 pick, IMO. that's not a prediction, ftr, that's just what he warrants. i pity the teams that pass on that guy. i've said it before, but he'll be a better NBA player than college player and he's a damn good college player.

You still feel this way?

He might be in our range. I remember you comparing him to Hayward and I dismissed it initially, but the more I watch of him the more striking similarities I see in the way they create space for their offense. Of course he doesn't have the length and physical profile of a Hayward or his defense, but some things are just shockingly similar.

here's a video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B15ZR678s_E

0:20 exact same way Hayward stops on his drives and headfakes in the lane into a fadeaway. I swear I've seen Hayward do this dozens and dozens of times.

1:00 Hayward uses the exact same fake, usually drives after the defender flies by.

1:40 That's the Hayward special, the step back from the right side. That's the shot that beat the Cavs, the shot that beat the Mavs(from left side) the shot that was going to beat the Celtics if it wasn't for Zeller's buzzerbeater.

And this is just in the very first video I searched on youtube.

Here is some more Kennard love.
