1) Isaiah Collier - Upside is a Morant/Maxy hybrid. Improving the shooting is the swing skill for him.

2) Devin Carter - High probability of becoming a good 2 way guard that can help with defense, rebounding, passing and some scoring.

3) Carlton Carrington - looks like a very fluid, big young PG. Can he work on his body and get to the paint more? if he can, high upside.

4) Kel'el Ware - Might become Myles Turner 2.0, can block shots, very big and mobile, can score inside, natural scoring touch with a potential to be a stretch 5 with his 3 point shot.

5) Kyle Filipowski - high probability to become a decent versatile big that can do abit of everything, decent defense, some passing, scoring. Maybe like a Kelly Olynyk with better defense.


Collier strikes me as more of a Baron Davis/Eric Bledsoe like player than Maxey or Ja. More burly and strong than lightning quick or a big leaper.

To me he plays/moves a lot like Fultz but his jumper is not broken he''s got the exact same build/size of Fultz (Collier). Fultz was a way better college player before he tried to change his shot but.

Daron Holmes is Christian Wood if you flipped all of Wood’s personality/work ethic concerns from a detriment to a strength

My next mock definitely has him going #1 now. Hawks scouting him heavily and need his skill set more than they do a Center like Sarr. Givony has him pegged in the top spot.

Jared McCain to OKC at 12 is starting to look like a no brainer for them.

I was thinking he was going to be a great fit with the Hornets shadowing Ball defensively but apparently he wants no part of that and will most likely find himself in Utah at 10.

Yup. Very much could be in play for the Spurs. He showed how well he could play and feed Clingan. Spurs could value his size and defense over the other guards.

The bigs are going to be better at 15 then they will be at 43 but the guards at 15 will have higher upsides like Collier and Carter. I do love the 2nd round guard crop especially Ajay Mitchell and KJ Simpson. I’m ready to swing for the fence for a big cause the league is not going to trade us one.

I could see Daron Holmes absolutely killing his workout with the Heat. It could come down between Ware and Holmes. da Silva could very well still be an option but he lacks the rim protection we need that the other two bring.
