What's new

2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)

I believe in Jaden Springer as a high-level guard at the next level. It's the way he moves with the ball, his balance and body control, that makes me think he can make plays with advanced timing. Also has adequate size and athleticism for a combo, at 6'4"+ in shoes. He's the kind of versatile guard that could play next to Mitchell and play different styles.

 
Filip Petrusev is a 6'11" PF/C with a pretty versatile inside-outside offensive game. The question I have is whether he can play the 4 in a big lineup with Rudy. If he can, he might be a good play. He plays a face-up game and shoots from distance well enough. It's just a question of how well he guards out on the floor. Otherwise, he'd give the Jazz a secondary rim protector and some rebounding when Rudy gets pulled away. He's more mobile than Domantas Sabonis and is a better shooter from distance, and this makes it more likely he can play minutes at the 4.

I prefer Roko due to Roko's handle, driving and playmaking.



I think people sometimes forget how physical he was at Gonzaga.

Greg Brown from Texas is a 6'8" athletic wing with big-time energy and bounce. He's a bit raw and sometimes looks like a deer on ice skates, but his physical talent is undeniable. His measurables are equivalent to Trey Murphy's. The difference is that Murphy is a better shooter and more disciplined defender at this stage, while Brown is a year younger and more explosive. I'd expect that early on Brown will come off the bench to provide energy and defense (similar to Jared Vanderbilt with Minnesota) while his body and offensive game continue to develop.

 
Charles Bassey or bust. I would love seeing him play PF for us. He can play defense yet be stretch 4 and can also score in the paint.
 
JT Thor is an interesting forward prospect from Auburn. At 6'9" with a 7'3" wingspan, Thor has the size and length to guard 4s and 5s, while being mobile enough to switch onto most wings. He's very young (18) and needs to fill out (only 205 lbs), but he has a ton of potential. He's shown nice touch on catch-and-shoot jumpers. While he hasn't shown consistency at this point, it appears to be a skill he can readily develop.

Thor is testing as a good athlete with a 3.06-sec. 3/4-court sprint and a 35" max vertical to go along with his 9'2" standing reach.




Nope. Hate left handed shooters. They remind me of CJ miles and Rodney hood. They suck
 
Gimmie Trey Murphy after seeing all of these highlight videos. We just found our franchise 3/4 right there.
