Love this for Cody Williams. I don’t think he moves into jumpers like this very often, but he has the ability to, and the more he does it, the more he will develop the same kind of mid range PU. Having that in-between game will be huge for him moving forward.
Cody Williams encountering contact on the way to the rim doesn’t always look pretty, but he ends up dealing with it fairly well because he has a variety of finishes, length, and touch. Bodes well for the future when you assume strength development.
Real shooters like Joe are huge in the playoffs because they can knock down heavily contested shots. Need guys like that to neutralize excellent defense.
Topic, Dill, Collier could all end up being better players than the guys at the top of my list, but as potential heavy usage players, they are gonna really have to hit Topic & Collier have the more enticing ceiling than Dill because of the size & strength. Dill better floor tho

My gut says Sarr, Holland Matas, Risacher, Cody Williams Should be the top of the draft Topic, Collier, Dill Castle, Clingan, Shepp Flip, Knecht Round out the rest of the guys I’m most comfy with. I prioritize size, skill, potential playoff viability
Give me some names of prospects who, either RIGHT NOW or will VERY SOON, do something(s) at an NBA level. Ex: Dillingham is ALREADY an NBA level scorer and shooter. Knecht is ALREADY an NBA level shooter (nba size too). Dunn is an NBA level defender already……etc
None of us could ref better than these NBA refs. None of us. And if we could, it would take years to get to there. Reffing is hard, especially when you are not allowed to actually call the game as objectively as possible (because they are instructed to let some things go, etc)
Am I the only one that reads the Miami Heat box score and keeps thinking D Wright is Dorell Wright?? lol
Do people actually say this though? As far as I understand it, draft twitter is concerned with taking upperclassmen TOO HIGH, like in the top 5 or 10 (depending on the type of prospect). But yes, of course upperclassmen can pan out, especially early—they are older & more ready

I know people are souring (or have already been souring) on guys like Risacher & Holland, but these dudes have LOTS of great moments at such a young age, and with very very good tools.

Something I like a lot about Risacher is that he crashes the offensive glass well. The film I’ve seen shows a guy who habitually gets himself into position while people watch the flight of the ball. I think he moves well without the ball everywhere, actually
Davis’s shoulder looked like it came out there for a split second.
Sums up the difficulty of scouting, doesn’t it? This is not shade toward these 2, btw. Not at all. I just think it’s a perfect example of how we get stuff right and get stuff wrong all the time.
An interesting thing about the draft (perhaps I’m wrong here?)… is that teams may really like a player/have them in the same tier as other 1st rounders, but will not use a 1st rnd pick on them (injury history, other concerns, etc) Grant-Foster & Crawford are those kind of guys
I’m gonna play devil’s advocate here. What if one of these guys was a senior in a low/mid major conference and the other a freshman in a high major?

Totally agree. Has some very good moments defensively… Seems like he at least COULD be solid defender in the league. Also COULD be a poor/inconsistent one.

3K Followers 3K Following@matissa15 I think you're being a little too dismissive of the viewer/fan perspective. Even if you don't agree, I'm sure you can see why a viewer would complain about some aspect of the game that is *aesthetically* displeasing and the people who engage in whatever behavior
@matissa15 Sure, but I turned off both games because the star players on all four teams who had the ball more than 50% of their possessions seemed more interested in drawing fouls than making shots. It’s unwatchable, especially when they throw tantrums whenever they don’t get calls.
Zaccharie Risacher at the half today #NBADraft - 13 PTS - 2 REB - 1 AST - 1 BLK - 4/4 FG, 1/1 3P, 4/4 FT) - 12 MIN
@coachnatebdraft 3 ORB in last 55 games, I suppose Mar-Apr production had a sizeable portion where he took on an advanced role without Markkanen and could explain the TOV%. He still has his work cut out for him limiting TO's and finding ways to contribute outside of offense. 3PT% should improve.
@coachnatebdraft Was at this game, was his best shooting game of the year. Touch is insane with him, hope he puts everything together.
Caught up on some Cody film today and had this same thought—his touch near the rim is pretty nice which is encouraging
Cody Williams encountering contact on the way to the rim doesn’t always look pretty, but he ends up dealing with it fairly well because he has a variety of finishes, length, and touch. Bodes well for the future when you assume strength development.
@coachnatebdraft His touch looks nice but did he show any handle at all in HS? Because in college did not, although in part injuries zapped his ath
@coachnatebdraft Has a ton of great finish moves and fakes. His handle needs to be tighter and he’s too weak for him to be an effective finisher from the start
@coachnatebdraft Flowers sure looks like he will develop the D. He only took (a little less than) one a half 3s a game, but shot about 36%. 6’8, 6’9, long, dynamic, fluid.
@coachnatebdraft I don’t understand why Sarr is not the consensus top guy. He has elite ability.
The Suns just have so little depth, no role players with the athletic juice to put any fear into you Meanwhile guys like NAW check in and just hound the Suns stars up and down the court, Naz Reid checks in and no one can stay in front of him
One of my big takeaways from the playoffs so far has been how clear the need for youth and athletic pop on a roster is Wolves look faster than the Suns at every position, LAC looks old and slow while Dallas gets every loose ball, Pacers speed bothers the Bucks — the list goes on
The difference in rotations is everything right now Wolves are flying around running everyone off the line, trusting Gobert on clean up Suns are barely rotating to the 2nd kick, have to shrink the floor excessively any time someone comes down the lane
Holland is an insta pick if they’re dumb enough to let him slip Hawks have been thirsty for an athletic lottery wing for years.
I cannot, for the life of me, understand why Ron Holland is ranked so low by some people. I get that he has some issues, but everybody in this draft has issues. All these dudes need to iron a lot of stuff out. The stuff he already does at his age, with his tools is legit good
People value a 3 ball maybe too much these days but he’s going top 5 regardless.

@coachnatebdraft Shhh, he needs to slide to the Jazz pick
@coachnatebdraft And not trying to keep beating a dead horse, but he only had 1 playtype above 1 PPP according to synergy, and that was transition. So while I think in this class he could be worthy of a top 5 pick, he definitely has things to work on.
@coachnatebdraft Most people that have shot as poorly as he did from 3 + FT don’t develop into shooters. His mechanics are better than most of theirs though
@coachnatebdraft I think he could develop that 3pt shot, which is why I wouldn’t shy away from taking him with a top 5 pick in this draft. I think I just disagree with the notion that developing that shot is something that’s easy to do
