-I personally think your sleepers are gonna be one of the guards drafted in the 20s to a good team. Not to be a homer but Tyty fits that mold well, especially if he lands in Memphis where he can play the Quickley, Maxey role.

-Sharpe is gonna cost someone their job. His measurables are too good to slip too far down the board but he hasn't played basketball against NBA prospects. Last we saw him it was against, high school kids. Especially after watching some of his pre-draft interviews, I don't think he'll hold up mentally to the pressure. So many question marks, I think looking back, people will say the writing was on the wall

-I think Jabari has such a high ceiling. Has the body that'll hold up and once he has the NBA resources, he'll become more dynamic

As a Spurs fan for the last 20 years, it would make me immeasurably happy to see them take Walker Kessler like some of these mocks

He'll be a better, more athletic Poetl. More of an offensive threat too.



But as far as sleepers, I think Tyty is going to be a good pro, so him at 23 is my pick for a sleeper

I think Ochai Agbaji is better than the 14th pick too

Bust, I'm picking Tari Eason

I predict Jaylin Williams will be drafted in the 28 to 36 range. I also predict he'll have a solid if unspectacular NBA career because he actually loves playing basketball.

He's going to be a 10 year guy who can do 6 points, 8 boards a game and will play for a low salary, making him popular on teams who are pushing for titles and need cheap players.

Fit is such a big part of a players career. You end up in crapsack like Sacramento and you'll never be heard of again even if you are good. Getting drafted later to a good team definitely has it's advantages.

Probably about right. Think he made the right decision to leave if he goes in the 1st.

Sucks that Dyson Daniels and Marjon Beauchamp decided to go pro, Muss had us in a pretty good spot with both of them IIRC.

wow. Chet sucks. I don’t mind Pablo at 1 but Jabari is a gem. Jaylin Williams could be the steal of this draft.

I’d take Jabari over Banchero and Holmgren.

Good grief I could be a top ten pick if they only looked and showed my grade school highlights

Rockets picked up Tari Eason to go along with Jabari

As a Spurs fan, I hope my above prediction about Eason is right. But as an Auburn fan who wants to see Jabari kill it, I hope I was wrong.

frick, Jabari going to Houston is conflicting for me personally

I don’t really see another flopper prospering that much
