DX now shows Giannis at #15. Who was calling him a reach at #14 yesterday? Hotttnikkkk?
Link of me saying that please?
I will be shocked and dismayed if we take Larkin at #14. There are like 8 or 10 guys I would take at 14.
Well if you've been following Givony you'd know that everyone was lukewarm on Giannis up until today. He seemed to have warmed up a bit after a few matches under his belt and started to play up to the hype.
It is an unexpected surprise that's for sure.
The same thing happened to Oladipo - remember when he was slated at around #20?
I'm at the point where I might take Giannis over Shabazz. ....In part because I think Shabazz may have to dribble off his foot to register an assist.
But a guy with Giannis' length, quickness and ability to handle is a real boon.
With Burks, Hayward and Giannis on the floor, we'd have three triple-threat players (shoot, pass, drive) with above-average length on the perimeter.

If we can somehow heist McCollum and Giannis in this draft, I think we'll already have a starting lineup that can contend in a couple years.
This.
I don't think Minnesota will take Shabazz. Having Derrick Williams and Shabbaz on the floor together sounds like a terrible idea.
Tim Hardaway up to #23, right next to Bullock. Hmm.
I didn't think I'd ever see a mock draft where Pierre Jackson was higher than Archie Goodwin.

Just curious.. why?
I just don't like Hardaway..
Agree on your 2nd point.. but I do understand it. I do think Archie should definitely be considered a sleeper pick, though. A couple of tweaks and he's a lottery guy.
I think this is one of the strongest drafts for SGs in a few years. -- dipo, KCP, Franklin, Crabbe, Karasev, Hardaway Jr., Rice Jr., etc. It just pushes Goodwin down the list if he's perceived to have question marks. I think Hardaway in particular is stealing some of his thunder. Both are similar physically and are athletic slashing guards, but Hardaway is a bit more polished.
I'll say this about Goodwin: he has a fire in his eyes that I don't think I've seen since Michael Jordan. He wants to tear this league apart, and he's got the tools to do it. He knows it too. He could be like Harden + a potent mid-range game.
Oh, gotcha. Thought you were talking attitude problems.
