I'm with KL on T. Bey. Sure, he might be able to put the three ball into his arsenal one day but he hasn't to this point which makes it tough to project an NBA role for him on both ends of the court. I agree that the defensive/athletic upside is there, but if you suck at shooting then Carlisle will either force you to do it anyway (can be hard on a player's confidence) or plug you into the roll man-role and then you're suddenly competing with Powell or WCS for minutes. Good luck with that.
I'm not even sure Derrick Jones Jr is worth the trouble but he's basically the NBA version of Bey if all his athletic/defensive skills translates to the NBA but he never figures out the shooting part. I don't know, I'm not overly high on a player like that considering his age. How is he different from Isaiah Roby? The latter was also a long, very athletic forward who without range when we drafted him aso around 21/22 come draft time and it didn't work out for him.
I'm rooting for a few other players to be available at #31 over T. Bey. T. Terry, Jalen Smith, Leandro Bolmaro, Jaden McDaniels, Theo Maledon, Jamius Ramsey, maybe Woodard. These guys are all over the place depending on what mocks you look at. I'd like all of them more than T. Bey with the GS pick.
