2020 NBA Draft

[saclare]

I'm on the BPA bandwagon, but would love to address shooting, rebounding, and physical presence in this draft. Don't think Precious gets to us, but he'd be great at 18. The 2nd rounder offers some upside. Don't sleep on Isaiah Joe from Arkansas. Can flat out shoot and I think he would THRIVE as an off-ball shooter next to creators. Passable defender with upside given size, but the shooting is what you're after there. 31 is likely too rich, though.

I had a conversation recently regarding later picks and upside vs. college production. Think teams get too cute in the latter half of the 1st round and 2nd round. Too many times is upside overvalued where you can plug holes in your roster or at least grab a high floor contributor. Hindsight is 20/20 but I remember several draft nights seeing a really productive player fall and get passed.

I think that guy will be Poku. Someone will eventually regret not taking him and I hope it isn’t us.

His shooting form is beautiful. I believe he'll be one of the best shooters in the league at some point way down the road. He has too many limitations related to his strength to intrigue me as anything more than a priority free agent post draft.

IMO Amar Sylla is the much better international big prospect, and I wouldn't be surprised to see some team take a flier on him late first round.
