If I saw Hayes drive right and finish right a little more, I would say that he reminds me of an early PG version of Booker and I could see a similar career arc as far as his own player development. I'm not opposed to pairing them together long term.
Way to go out on a limb that someone will be there! Even I, as a non-draft expert, know that!Split T wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 2:45 pmI think we can assume Ball, Edwards, Wiseman, and Toppin will be gone at 10. So at least 1 of Avdija, Okongwu, Haliburton, Okoro, Hayes, and Vassell will be there. Personally I hope it’s not Avdija, Okongwu, or Okoro, but someone will be there at 10. And I’d actually be ok going Aaron Nesmith, RJ Hampton, or Patrick Williams as well.
How would you compare Aaron Nesmith with someone like Desmond Bane?Split T wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 2:45 pmI think we can assume Ball, Edwards, Wiseman, and Toppin will be gone at 10.

Haha, my point is that there are at least 10 guys in this draft that can help us.Superbone wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 2:48 pmWay to go out on a limb that someone will be there!

I like both. I’m not sure why Bane is mocked in round 2. He’s got size, he’s consistently hit 3’s at a high percentage and I think he’ll be fine defensively. Nesmith is younger and his shot looks more like a weapon than Bane.In2ition wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 3:15 pmHow would you compare Aaron Nesmith with someone like Desmond Bane?Split T wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 2:45 pmI think we can assume Ball, Edwards, Wiseman, and Toppin will be gone at 10.

I haven’t looked into him enough, but his size/shooting is intriguing.Ring_Wanted wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 3:29 pmIf Haliburton and Toppin are gone I am taking offers to trade down or out. Nobody likes Jalen Smith?
The rebounding too. Yet he is in the 20s on many mock drafts.Split T wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 3:45 pmI haven’t looked into him enough, but his size/shooting is intriguing.Ring_Wanted wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 3:29 pmIf Haliburton and Toppin are gone I am taking offers to trade down or out.

This is where I think Bane is a better shooter than Nesmith.Split T wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 3:44 pmI like both. I’m not sure why Bane is mocked in round 2.

I agree with that, and I think he could be a perfect fit for a system that doesn't require a singular primary creator.
If we get the Bane from Batman, I'll be happy. I just hope he's not the Bane of our existence.In2ition wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 4:00 pmThis is where I think Bane is a better shooter than Nesmith.Split T wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 3:44 pmI like both.
