Jackpotting Around Episode 32 - Draft Love /Hate

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I kind of get it with Newell, but it's all projections and theoretical. He's extremely fluid for his size and has enough glimpses of skill where you can convince yourself he might be able to develop.

I'm not personally a fan, but when I looked at the film of him vs other guys his size in this draft there is a stark contrast in how they move.

Sure, but he doesnt really do anything at a high level other than offensive rebound.

He's kind of just a less impressive Marvin Bagley. He can't rim protect as a 5. He's got fairly mediocre block numbers for a 6-11 athlete.

I'd rather just take Fleming. Fleming is bigger (atl least longer), better at rim protecting, better shooter, better rebounder, projects as a better perimeter defender. Just a no brainer to me.

I think you could potentially run Flip/Fleming at the 4/5 and flip positions on defense/offense. I don't think Newell/Flip can do that
