Following Potential 2020 draftees

I for one, am gonna be shocked if when the dust settles on this draft, that Okongwu isnt one of the best 3-4 players selected.

To me he's super safe... super high floor... he shot 72% from the FT line....

I think its silly that Okongwu's 9th on cy's list.

When I see Okongwu 9th and just a mere 16 picks later Xavier Tillman, IMO that is such a drastic dropoff in talent, i get the 'this doesnt add up' feeling... like whats the universal studios ride the haunted elevator where the **** just drops? that kind of drastic dropoff...

No doubt in my mind tho that is the DREAM SCENARIO FOR THE KNICKS tho...

If they could land Okongwu 8th that is such a steal

I see Okongwu as a super turbo-boosted version of Tristan Thompson. He's a specimen, but he's going to be a bit limited unless he can expand his shooting and ball skills. I don't think he's really comparable to Bam Adebayo in that respect.
 
DraftExpress has posted some cool workout and interview vids. I'll post some of them here...

Josh Green looks good.


Tyrese Maxey looks amazing.


Paul Eboua looks good in a workout setting, as good as Tyler Bey in a workout setting. Jazz worked him out a year ago.

Bam Adebayo wasn't comparable to Bam Adebayo either.
 
Tyrese has a high floor and a high ceiling. That wingspan is not super sexy, but everything else is. I think he will hit and at least be a starter.
 
what are the background issues with Paul Reed? Can't remember where I heard it but thought I remembered there were issues.

From what little I heard, it was just about accepting his role. He may see himself as an alpha scorer, while teams see him more as a defender/rebounder. Personally, I think his defensive versatility, his aggressiveness, and his ability to get downhill off the dribble remind me of a (less bouncy) Josh Smith.

I think hes comparable to Bam, a better comparison would be Montrezl Harrell tho IMO.

His wingspan is fine actually... If there's a measurable thats concerning, Its gotta be his height...
 
Does anyone know if Utah was spotted watching Yam Madar? To me he's really the international man of mystery in this draft field, even over Pokusevski
