He has Whitmore at #3. Black at #5. Both twins at 5 and 6. Lively at 8. Hendricks at 9 and Buffon at 10. Walker at 12 and Wallace at 13. There are a few guys late that I really like (Jacquez for example) that I thought would be probable second round picks.
I just skimmed the article and just looked at the rankings for now.
Some notes:
The mid to late lottery looks as weak as it has in years. 2024 class look bad.
He called Lively a “Playoff Five”. He can rim run, Protect the rim and defend the perimeter. In other words, he won’t get played off the court in the playoffs. No O to speak of at all, but D is better than Mark Williams taken a year ago in the late lottery.
