2020 NBA Draft

[rimrocker]

I've went completely cold on Green...has Anderson, Ager, D. Jones, Cunningham written all over him.
I'd easily take Aleksej Pokusevski (who I still think will eventually be the best player outside of the lotto) over Green in a heartbeat.

I’m not claiming to be an authority on Green (or any player in this draft for that matter haha) But Green DOES have an NBA frame- about 6-6 220 and NBA level athleticism. He has pedigree— was a top 10 recruit and is young; 19 going on 20. He also shot pretty well from 3 as a Freshman. To me, those are huge distinctions between the guys you listed(excepting Poku)and Green.

He smells like a Jae Crowder type to me.

almost no chance of making an allstar game, but a very good likelihood of playing 8-10 years.

what's made you get cold feet on Green?
anything more specific? your own or someone else's analysis?

Questionable decision making and appears it could take several years to develop are concerning to me considering our situation.

I think the potential is there but not sure the ceiling is high enough to take that chance when some others that could be available seem to either have higher upside (Poku) or could contribute immediately (S. Bey).

I’m basically getting cold on him more because we have a pretty deep roster and I don’t see him getting much opportunity much like Reaves last season.
I think he’d be a decent pick at 18 for a team in full rebuild mode but we are a little too far along imo.
