Yo it's crazy to me that Vernon Carey is 49th in that mock... How do y'all feel about trading up for a pick in the 2nd rd to secure Vernon Carey?


He's gonna end up being one of the prospects where I kill him and his value during the season (Duke fans were worried they werent going to have a 1st rd pick this year, then Carey started playing really well putting up big stats on high FG%'s and they were convinced he was their ticket to the 1st, and perhaps even the lottery)...... Lettuce not forget DX/ESPN was buying this narrative hook line and sinker early in the season, Carey was projected in the top-20 (Conversely Jalen Smith was projected barely in the top-60, I pointed out then how absurd that was, now the tables have turned and im gonna make the case for Carey in the bottom of the 2nd as tremendous value.
 
Xavier Tilman is overrated by draftniks this year IMO. Utah taking him in the 1st is a mulligan of a pick and I'd hate it, Grayson Allen-esq low upside.


To me a move like getting Vernon Carey for pennies on the dollar in the 2nd is WAAAAAYYYYYY better value. He;s 2 years younger too.



I think it'd be high upside too. He can play some backup C and some PF. He's a big bruiser of a kid too, he never played with a C like Rudy, and Rudy never had a PF quite like him, Favors woulda been the closest for sure.
 
much discussion this offseason on "Miami Heat type of players" To me Vernon Carey as a bottom of the 2nd rd pick fits the mold.

 
wait Trent Forrest got a combine invite?!? thats awesome... I been posting bout him since Wendell Carter AAU days.. peach jam..
 
A few standouts from the Combine measurements:

Precious Achiuwa -- 6'8.75" w/shoes, 7'0.75" wingspan, 234 lbs. Isn't great size for a 5. Paul Reed is bigger.
Tyler Bey -- 6'7" w/shoes, 7'1.25" wingspan, 213 lbs. He's just a tad smaller than Trevor Ariza.
Paul Eboua -- 6'7.5" w/shoes, 7'3.5" wingspan, 9'0" standing reach. Great size for a wing defender.
Josh Hall -- 6'7.5" w/shoes, 6'11" wingspan, 197 lbs. Worth looking into late in the 2nd round or as an UFA.
Theo Maledon -- 6'5" w/shoes, 6'8.75" wingspan, 187 lbs. Good measurements for him. I'd like to compare him to Haliburton, tbh.
Karim Mane -- 6'6" w/shoes, 6'11" wingspan, 196 lbs. Dude is as big as Dante Exum and has some PG skills.
Reggie Perry -- 6'9.25" w/shoes, 7'0.25" wingspan, 250 lbs. Slightly bigger than Tillman.
Paul Reed -- 6'9.25 w/shoes, 7'2" wingspan, 9'1.5" standing reach, 220 lbs. Probably big enough to play some at the 5.
Jalen Smith -- 6'10.25" w/shoes, 7'2.25" wingspan, 9'2" standing reach, 224 lbs. Comparable to Ed Davis.

Paul Reed's max vertical of 37" is not too shabby for a PF. It's just a couple inches behind Josh Smith.
Josh Hall at 37.5" max vertical is encouraging.

I'd add woodard... 6' 7" - 7' 2" Wingspan and 230 with 4.5% body fat.

Dude is built like a damn truck. I think Eboua ends up going a lot higher than his projection.
