2024 Mock Draft #2

I am torn on 2 players for Toronto.

Filipowski - Is very similar to Olynyk. They have his mentor on the team. He can play some minutes at the 5 also. He is an OK shooter but could get better.
Tyler Smith - Offers probably more upside and is said to be a hard worker. He is already a good 3-point shooter and is supposedly a decent defender. I like both players
Tyler Smith is supposedly a horrendous defender from what I've read.
 
Shooting issue? Jackson shot 38% from 3 and was a dawg on offense. I don’t see the similarity really at all besides size.
Yes shooting issue. Dude shot 90 college threes and made 38%... he shot 173 FTs and was 57% lol. Career 29% from 3 in the NBA and 68% from the line. As a rookie at the three point line he shot 26% from 3... so yeah there was a shooting issue.
 
I mean I’m not sure how you figure that. He definitely doesn’t do it from three. Out of 107 attempts he shot 7 off the dribble and made 1 of them.
Yeah creating 3's off the dribble isn't his game. Right now his game is more attack off the dribble similar to Derozan's game when he was younger.
 
You are talking about current Demar. He refined that skill over the years. Also Holland has shown plenty of potential to create off the dribble. Definitely not a weakness for him.
Lay off the weed.

Being a 1-2 dribble to the rim guy is not considered creating off the dribble. Ron Holland can't shot create for himself unless a team wants extreme inefficiency.
 
The Memphis Grizzlies are going with Tristan Da Silva at 17.

The griz are in full win now mode and already have their 3 stars in Morant, Bane and Jackson plus a possible future guy in GG Jackson. Da Silva is the perfect complimentary role player that is nba ready and can play multiple positions and a reliable outside shot. I would have stayed at 9 if I thought Edey would be around but knowing Cy had the 7th pick I didn't like the odds.
Shocked you didnt take Ware.

Awful pick. De Silva doesnt give them anything that Laravia and Aldama already provide.
 
Yes shooting issue. Dude shot 90 college threes and made 38%... he shot 173 FTs and was 57% lol. Career 29% from 3 in the NBA and 68% from the line. As a rookie at the three point line he shot 26% from 3... so yeah there was a shooting issue.
Sorry thought we were talking about them as prospects.
