I definitely think he could be a sleeper who gets missed in the hype if others. His tape doesn’t jump out to me, but the Jazz did have him in for a workout. Still think I like Jaime Jaquez, Sidy Cissoko and GG Jackson better than Lewis though. If they’re all off the board at #28, then maybe I take him.

Honestly I like him a little more than the guys u mentioned.

Yeah. I know you’ve been a fan of his for awhile. I like him a lot actually, but I like the upside of those other three more. I’d be really happy with any of them tbh. Think all four guys could end up being super sleepers in the right environment.

This one is interesting to me because you don’t like Hendricks due to stats, but ignore really really bad stats for Lewis.

I never said anything about stats with Hendricks other than finishing at the rim on layups po

Ben Sheppard is a trade up target in the mid first? I like him, but damn. I'm guessing teams are getting whiffs of Desmond Bane like NBA ready?
So according to Wasserman the likely lottery picks are
- Wemby
- Scoot
- Miller
- Amen
- Ausar
- Hendricks
- Walker
- Black
- Dick
- Lively
- Bufkin
- JHS
- Coulibaly
- Whitmore
Are these in order or... ? How is Whitmore going to drop to 14?
A solid bet might be Cason falling due to medicals. He has not had a lot of predraft buzz.
No order, just ordered them so I made sure I listed 14
Derrick Lively going in the top 8 is my new hot take.
It's been a bit understated, but every lottery team sans Utah, Detroit ,and Orlando could use Lively.
He was the #1 HS recruit and people seem to buy that he has some shooting upside. He disappointed but accepted a role and played elite defense.
I could see him going as early as 4 to Houston, but think 7/8 are his sneaky spots.

Sign me the absolute **** up for a Whitmore/Wallace draft. Good gravy.
Bilal and Lively both going top-8 means we would have some crazy options at 9. Too bad neither is going to happen.
No specific order
I mean it looks like it’s in order. Either way, Wallace ain’t in there.
Sexton is traded on draft night
