You said that before, but if there is ohe thing I don´t doubt it´s his defensive instincts and his effort on every play. We must be watching different players.
Anyway my board as opposed to what I think will happen:
1. Wembanyama
2. Henderson
3. Miller
4. Hendricks
5. Amen Thompson
6. Walker
7. Dick
8. Black
9. Ausar Thompson
10. Sensabaugh
11. Lively
12. Hawkins
I want absolutely nothing to do with Whitmore after hearing his bad workout reports. Raw and no work ethic. Bad combo. If it comes down Whitmore, Wallace, Coulibaly or Ausar Thomspon, I´ll either pick Dick or trade down a few times and get Miller, Sensabaugh, Whitehead and Vukcevic. 16 +28 from Utah, then 16 for 21+22 with Nets and buy a 2nd from the Hornets.
Not buying the Bilal hype either. He's basically drawing attention, because he´s playing on the same team as Wembanyama. There is upside I agree, but if he doesn´t learn to shoot, he´s full blown Ntilikina. Mavs can´t gamble on that. I´m not feeling Cason Wallace either. I know the Kentucky guard thing, but there is something about him that rubs me the wrong way. I kind of think he plays small and that his shooting won´t translate at the next level.
