Watched some Judah Mintz tonight.

Man I really like dude. He is a terrible 3pt shooter but dude can ball and at 6’3” with a reporter 7’ wingspan, you gotta keep an eye on him.

If he could actually shoot the 3 ball he would be top 20 pick.

He's got some dudes on here that love him... but I am not a believer. If he was shooting it really well from three or like high 80s in FT percentage I'd buy in a lot more. Bigs either need to - shoot it well, be elite at protecting the rim, or be switchable - he's not really that from what I can tell. I could see him sticking in the league and being a good three point shooter but being more of a backup because of his limitations.

With a late first... maybe. If I was a GM I'd guess another team would take him before I would.

I'm one of those dudes. Might be in my top 10 at the end of the year.

Yeah I'd prolly have him in the 30s. Would be pretty disgusted if we took him with our pick or the Minny pick... which means we likely take him.
 
Santa Clara has another potentially interesting guard playing for them this season, Brandin Podziemski. Last year Jalen Williams came out of nowhere from that same program.
Podziemski started at Illinois, transferred to Santa Clara and has shown an interesting mix of just all around production. Plus shooting numbers and has flashed some on the move shooting this year. Will be interesting to see how he measures and tests. Just don't look at his picture posted on his ESPN stat page, LOL.

Fluid 6'11/7' dude who can do everything on offense, play at the 4 or 5, and is way better at defense than people who dont watch him as much give him credit for. Without him Duke would be in the bottom quarter of the ACC.

The 3pt % is weird, but I'm operating on the assumption that he's going to be a high 30's shooter in the NBA.

If he is this i can see it, but a lot of other dudes also shoot up the board going off the same assumptions. I like him, i think hes a super safe pick for anyone to get a long term rotation piece if youre picking anywhere from 15-16 on.

I only have lazy same race comps in my head when it comes to him and none are real sexy. Is he a better Muscala?

I just think there are way too many more interesting guys for us to take a chance on. If it’s the Philly pick then fine… but even at that spot you might be passing on Colby Jones or JHS… and that’s just not how I’d roll.
