Anfernee Simons was an unknown prospect as well. I wasn't comparing him to Siakam as a player, just highlighting how similar they were in terms of their physical tools. Shaedon Sharpe is an unknown and he's a top prospect, Kanter was an unknown and has had a solid career.

If we're trading back up into the late 1st give me the guy with upside, the Jazz are notorious for playing it safe.

Kuminga got tape from legit HS como and GLeague. Not the same **** as playing in a no competition HS division where your team let's you play every position and do w/e because your 10 levels above everyone else, no AAU, no legit foreign experience.

Unless someone trades up to 7/8 like OKC… I think he might be in for a slide. I am not sure Indiana/Porty/NO wants a project like that… think Detroit and Sac go Ivey and Murray in some order. Will be interesting.
 
Jazz don't appear to be getting a first round pick
They have not brought in any first round projected players

I think Chet is like a better, more developed and offensively versatile version of Jonathan Isaac, or what people hoped Jonathan Isaac would eventually become. We've never actually seen what that player looks like. A team with multiple picks should take a swing and find out. OKC makes sense on a number of levels.

I'd have a hard time making an argument for drafting Sochan over Smith, or even Sharpe, even if Sochan hits.

I think San Antonio would take him at #9. Feel like that's his floor. Washington would likely take him at #10, and I couldn't see the Knicks passing on him at #11 if he were there.

He was widely regarded as top 6 so that’s what I’m saying… he could slide to 9/10 if teams get a little scared.
 
The argument for Sochan, I think, is that he projects to be functionally similar to Al Horford. He can play at the 4 or the 5, he's a switchable defender, he can move the ball, and he can knock down enough of his shots to spread the floor. Then he brings toughness and some intangibles in general. So he could be an elite complementary player. I just can't see a scenario where he's in the top 5 - 7 guys. I think he's a candidate to get picked in the 10-16 range. He's not such an overwhelming talent that team needs won't factor into the decision to draft him.
