DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

[burekemde]

Speaking of a "better version of Trey Burke", I'm noticing Cole Anthony sliding in mock drafts.  This guy, Greg Anthony's son, was a HS and AAU stud (MVP in all the HS all-star games).  He was amazing his first five games at NC (easy top five pick).  The profile below does a really nice job.  NC had zero spacing (not an issue in Dallas) and Anthony tried to do too much.  His efficiency stats are awful.  The question is whether the truth is what he did the rest of the season at NC or what he was as the best PG in his HS class?

I like him. He can really finish through contact. There are not many that can do this, and usually its a sign of a pick that will work in the NBA.

Haliburton has better bbIQ, playmaking, passing, shooting, feel for game. He does not have the physicality and finishing through contact as Cole, which does make him more risky in some ways, despite his upside much better.

I think Cole will be a valuable NBA player. How far he goes is determined by how his shooting develops. He can be anything from a good bench player to a potential all-star if his shooting becomes great. But due to his physicality in getting to the rim I think at minimum he is a good bench player, and that cant be said about everyone.
