Ayton is probably one of the only players in this draft class who doesn't have any significant weaknesses to his game

Other then not playing good position defense and coasting at times in games. We won't mention that he is NOT a gym rat and had never lifted weights before going to college.
 
Marvin Bagley vs Luka Doncic - You have to love what Doncic is doing over seas and would be an amazing fit next to Gobert and Mitchell
DeAndre Ayton vds Mo Bamba - Ayton just looks more impressive offensively
Trae Young vs Collin Sexton - I like sextons defense more then Young's offense
Michael Porter VS Jaren Jackson - Have to gamble on Porter at this point
Brandon McCoy vs Mitchell Robinson - to be honest I don't really care about either player but Robinson has the intrigue
Wendell Carter vs Robert Williams - I like Williams athleticism more
Mikal Bridges vs Miles Bridges - Mikal has the length to be very good
Bruce Brown vs Trevon Duval - Brown has the potential to be a triple double player. He just needs to find his shooting touch again
Dzunan Musa vs Hamidou Diallo - this is a shooting league
Troy Brown vs Lonnie Walker - Brown has a more well rounded game
Chimezie Metu vs Daniel Gafford - Gafford is the fun pick so why not
Anfernee Simons vs Grayson Allen - Go with potential here but I do like allen
De'Anthony Melton vs Shake Milton - Who doesn't like big point guards Milton I think is better here
 
Yeah, I'm not buying Ayton, being a big man on a defense that bad (200th ranked of 351 teams) is very worrying. 3.7 Stocks/100 (steals+blocks). Bagley for the same reasons (173/351 and 3.1 Stocks/100). There's only a handful of big men in the NBA good enough to anchor an offense in the NBA, so if bigs are looking garbage tier on defense in college I'm not interested. Maybe they suddenly "get it" when they get to the pros, but they usually don't.

Would be much more interested in JJJ and Bamba if I was a team at the top of the draft (all probably gone by the time we pick).
JJJ - 10/351 defense, 10.1 Stocks/100
Bamba - 16/351 defense, 10.6 Stocks/100
 
I'd like to predict that LaMelo Ball grows taller than Lonzo and slides to the pure SG spot, and brings crazy ballskills to the table...

No, they still haven't ruled out his return to the court for Mizzou this season. If his back checks out I can't think of a single scenario where the Jazz would pass on him at #5... It's ludicrous to even entertain, If the Jazz take Michael Porter Jr they are gonna get an A+ in everyones book and everyone will say they had one of the best drafts...

Porter Jr provides them with this insanely deadly look with him at the 4 next to all the offense below and with Rudy above... To me, honestly, I like that **** better than if u swapped Porter Jr for Gordon Hayward, that small-ball 4 look will be more viable..

Porter Jr is ready to be extremely efficient in year 1 as an NBA player.. He's Tatum levels of polished, which is an absurdly high standard... He can be slotted in on most teams immediately as a top-3 scoring option and can put up near 15ppg as a rook int he right situation..

He would probably be the favorite for the ROY on Utah too...
 
Jevon Carter from West Virginia is an interesting senior prospect. A 6-2 lead guard that gave Trae Young hell last week. He is shooting 40% from 3 on 5 attempts per. He is also shooting 85% from the free throw line on 5 attempts per game. 7 assists per game also. He was an amazing defender on Young.
 
In the second round Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk could be a steal. He is 6'8" senior that will turn 21 in June. He is super young (enrolled when he was 16) for his class and is shooting 47% from 3 on 7 attempts per game. Most impressive is the 1.3 steals per game. I don't think he is a defensive stand out but he might be able to hold his own with the right coaching.

Would never draft him.
 


Damn. That sucks. Hope he beats it... One of the good things about being an athlete - they are more likely to get tested regularly and for an illness to get caught early, which gives much better chance for remission.
