I disagree with so much of this board. Who is your team? I'm wondering what kind of lens you are viewing this draft through...

I'm a Warriors fan. So it's not like I don't know what it takes to win. :lol:

Your board makes more sense now, :lol:

I see you've finally cooled on Mannion. What changed?

At the end of the day I feel he's probably never more than a backup point guard or fringe starter, and those guys just aren't valuable to me. I actually moved a lot of guys down recently that I feel the same way about including Dotson and Tre Jones. It's possible one of those guys breaks out but I don't know which one and I don't want to bet on all of them.

Now, you're thinking.

By the way, you should go check out the smallest (by weight) guys to weigh in at the combine for the last 10 years. There's not a ton that succeed. Terry's closest "anthro-comp" is Schroder.

Well aware. Many thought Ja was too small to succeed and he looks pretty good. Sometimes guys have to break the mold.

Ja is a legit 6'3 with top tier athleticism tho

i like Terry, but he's 100% reliant on his J...if his J regresses in any way or he can't get shots off in the NBA he has no path to see the court what so ever

Yep fully aware. That is the risk. Of course, if you miss out on him and he "hits" then that is also a risk. Just have to do the risk/reward math. I'm not enamored so much with any of the guys in lower tiers that it would be a regret for me.

Woah

Surprised to see you so low on Hinton and Flynn and so high on Pokusevski, Lewis Jr., and Toppin.

Also, Terry over Anthony? Can you defend that? Curious to hear your reasoning. :crazy:

LMAO, you incepted it into my mind. I don't think he'll go this high, it's a mock based on my big board. So mostly what I would do if I were each team, perhaps a little bit influenced by their previous history (like OKC picking Jaden as the "raw athlete" guy).

Absolutely, or possibly trade down if there's a good deal and I can get two picks out of it.

Better player?

BTW, not a big fan of DLo with a max contract, but to be fair, we didn't actually get to see him on "The Warriors". We saw him on a shell of a team.
