DM is the closest comp I have to Davion Mitchell, but Mitchell is 80% as explosive.
I had Davion comp'd to Eric Bledsoe with a jump shot.
It's tough for me. Bledsoe was 90% as quick as John Wall, didn't get the USG in Kentucky, and was more if a risky player considering his turnover rate and lack of PG reps at Kentucky. _________________ Resident Car Nut.
Nice to see Kessler Edwards moving up in the mocks. Fits the 3 & D profile but prefer a PG this draft. Lakers should instead give Louis King a 2-way.
Hoping to see Virginia in the tournament. Want to see Jay Huff and Trey Murphy.
Been reviewing more internationals.
filip Petrusev - liking more and more. Movement significantly better than i remember. Truthfully I thought he was a stiff while at Gonzaga. Still physical in the paint on both ends with nice ball skills and shooting touch from deep.
Usman Garuba - actually watched a few Real Madrid games. Plays hard on defense and strong on the boards. Physically he is close to NBA size and was not pushed around. He seemed to be an afterthought on offense.
Roko Prkacin - still not sure where to place him. His 2020 vid he looked trim and agile. Thought he may be a SF. 2021 looks a littler thicker, taller and stronger, better able to absorb contact and still finish. Looks like a PF. Would like to see how he measures out.
With the way things are looking we are probably going to end up with a higher pick than expected.
Jonathan Wasserman @NBADraftWass
When guarded man-to-man by Davion Mitchell, opponents are turning the ball over an insane 29% of the time, according to Synergy. Most in the country.

It's helpful, especially for a specific guy I want who doesn't appear much on the radar right now. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I'm probably just going to focus on prospects expected to go in the early 20s and very late teens for now.
That's part of the problem, guys projected in the mid teens to mid 2nd round are all relatively the same tier of talent. Not a ton of standouts, and mock drafts aren't a "draft ranking." _________________ Resident Car Nut.
Buddy Boeheim is interesting. Such a quick release on his shot and strokes it from deep. Have moved him to late 1st. Looking forward to his game against Houston.
Day'Ron Sharpe, I would guess would go 15 or higher, most likely 20 or higher.
Not exactly the same type of player but just reminds me of a Tony Bradley type of prospect. Late 1st to early 2nd.
Maybe a lesser Isaiah Stewart in regards to size and athleticism although Stewart did flash a mid-range game at Washington.
I disagree on the size and athleticism part. I have him on a higher tier than both.
No way you rebound like that with great size without it.
Sorry, size was the wrong word. I was thinking of movement. I watched a lot of Washington last year and Stewart grew on me by seasons end. I guess we will disagree on the athleticism part. They both don't have much vert to their game but Sharpe just looks like a plodder to me.

He is a bit of a plodder. I call it heavy footed. But can't be that much of a plodder if he's rebounding/swatting like he is. _________________ Resident Car Nut.
Houston really locked up Buddy Boeheim. However I still believe his 3pt shot will translate and that he is late 1st-early 2nd worthy. Good enough athlete with height who will need movement (see Redick) to get open looks. Also the spacing in the NBA will help his game as will a year in an NBA strength/conditioning program.
He should declare this year as he gains nothing going back to college.
As a side note I hate Syracuse zone defense.
As for Houston, Quentin Grimes is a marginal NBA prospect.

^I'd prefer Grimes over Boeheim. But admittedly, Grimes is playing on a more generally athletic team. I'm not a fan of either guy. _________________ Resident Car Nut.
