2019 NBA Draft

[tap2390]

Five Underrated Players to Watch

1) Tyler Herro - kid may not have the ideal frame, but he can absolutely shoot lights out... his ability to shoot off screens seals the deal for me

2) Keldon Johnson - smooth small forward reminiscent of Jayson Tatum... more advanced skillset than Reddish and Little

3) Daniel Gafford - said it above, but his defensive versatility and rim-running is exactly what you need from a center

4) Brandon Clarke - undersized, but his motor, timing, and tenacity are all elite.. like Gafford fits the role of the modern 5 very well

5) Matisse Thybulle - elite perimeter defender with higher offensive upside than Andre Roberson

post-SL update on my underrated list


1) Herro - averaged 20 points in SL and is already considered untouchable (along with Bam) for the Heat

2) Johnson - dropped 29 on the Grizz in SL play (Grizz play in the championship tonight)

3) Gafford - averaged 14 & 8 to go along with 3 blocks a game on 68% shooting.... Mavs could have had him (sigh)

4) Clarke - averaging 15 & 9 on 57% shooting... made game winner to send Grizz to the championship... won SL mvp

5) Thybulle - showcasing all around game with 12 points, 4 boards, 2 dimes, 2 steals, and over 1 block a game


I was also extremely high on Carsen Edwards (20 ppg) and Roby (over 1 steal, dime, and block a game)... still wish we had taken Gafford, but I'm excited for Roby
