centered on non lottery picks at some point along the way I was always going to do at least one show kind of focused Beyond thenone overall pick as we’ll get into with Brian the Hawks could get back into the draft Etc and I’m also just a big draft head so I enjoy talking about the stuff one note on the recording time we recorded this podcast in the moments just before midnight on Wednesday evening into Thursday before the early entry deadline on Wednesday and we actually talked about at least one player I believe that was tyion Grant Foster who seemed to be staying in the draft as we were talking and then it came out actually well after the deadline itself that he actually took himself out of the draft so keep that in mind he is in this conversation but is uh by Le according to the NBA list that was released on Thursday not going to be in the draft so my apologies there but that was uh not kind of out of out of our control at that point in time so record this podcast Wednesday that’s the only thing of of not keep in mind there and also part two of two will be available in the same podcast feed whenever you are done with this part one edition of the podcast so without further delay here we go with NBA draft talk myself and Brian schroer coming to you right now I am joined once again by my friend Brian schroer Brian it’s getting closer to the NBA draft we all we know also know who’s going to be in the draft for the most part and that’s kind of one of the final steps as we get closer for college players yes yes the withdrawal date is right now so that’s we’re recording this podcast I think we waited long enough to get the vast majority of guys that we were yeah I mean there’s an hour and a half or so till it actually closes but I don’t think anyone else on my list I’m looking here is all the guys I had question marks about have made decisions pretty much yes and as people can probably tell by the title of the podcast or something like that we’re gonna largely avoid the top on this on this draft this is this is my sios episode so hopefully people will enjoy it Brian is the ultimate draft sio we we love it uh and at some point I had to talk about guys that were not at the top because it’s this weird situation where the number one pickle may have so many guys that can really really be in contention for but as I’ve said before I’ll say it again now just as a preface for this for this show the Hawks could certainly get back into the draft somewhere um there there are ways I’m not going to name them all about how they could get a pick in the mid first round or the late first round especially second round picks very available each year you can get them um the back in the draft last year to get moay infamously who who everybody likes so like I’m not saying that’re they’re definitely going to do that but the Hawks it would not it should not be a surprise to anyone if the Hawks have more than one pick when they when the draft actually happens in four weeks so that’s my preface that’s why we’re doing this podcast also I enjoy talking about the draft so is a his flimsy reasoning it is it is but I just enjoy the draft so essentially we’re going to talk about some guys who we believe at least are not likely to be lottery picks or maybe consensus bwise will be lottery picks then we’ll go as far as we want to go uh Brian I know you have your guys that you like um for example just to tie back to a recent show that I did Bryce Hendricks has Jaylen Tyson like in his top 10 and he’s probably not lottery pick so like that’s a guy we could talk about at some point but I’ll open it up to you I know you have your guys so the I think the conventional wisdom with this would be to talk about like the jacobe Walter Tristan Silva types Jaylen Tyson maybe like a Kean George I’m thinking of looking at wings are like Bona maybe filipowski like those are the guys who are I think are gonna be like in the Johnny Fury 15 to 30 range but I am not talking about those guys I don’t care about those guys I do but I care more about the guys I think are equally as good I he more about the guys like I think it’s discounting RFA which who loses anybody in restrictive free agency anymore it doesn’t happen it doesn’t happen very often though yes um especially not for role players throwing that out I would almost there’s no I would rather get if I’m getting an eighth man at 15 or an eighth man at 45 I’m taking the eighth man of 45 just so much better use of resources so with that I’d like to talk about a bunch of wings that I like in that who could be in that range starting with one of my five favorite players in this class Isaiah Crawford from Louisiana Tech who kicks ass weird so he was a rising freshman type he was a uh watch list guy as I like to call him as a freshman on the Kenneth Lofton Louisiana C team the lot the the latek he may have been on I think l l was a sophomore so it was after the uh the feo run that Lon had um and I thought he was better like just when I watched like the three or four games I was like that guy’s really good I don’t know if I thought he was better then but I thought he was probably more interesting from an NBA in an NBA context like because Lofton was always kind of a sideshow he’s a good basketball player but as is proven he’s not really an NBA player Crawford now is has one of the most just’re one of the strangest uh statistical profiles of any Prospect in this class and any Prospect in any recent class the only guy who’s really competes with him is Jaylen Slawson but he’s a much more prolific shooter he is like a 17 assist five block four steel percentage guy at 66 with the seven1 wispan shoots 40% from three just kind of does everything like huge steel numbers for a wing Ju Just just that line is uh is very very interesting itself yeah he measured great like he’s gonna turn 23 this year but in this class it doesn’t like d connect might be a top 12 pick and he’s almost 24 Tristan D Silva is 20 almost 23 like this is an old draft this is this is not a draft where there’s a lot of like being 22 or 23 doesn’t matter as much this year as it does in some years yeah um but I just Isaiah is a really simple I mean the best I have I I CED in personally to Dorian finny Smith but that’s like Dorian fny Smith now not Prospect Dorian finny Smith who had very little skill right but I think he is like a three four steals rotations guy who can shoot well enough for a position to survive and just make just make defensive reads and make defensive close outs and just just kick ass I don’t know I’m a big fan of Crawford he’s really kind of a simple evaluation like either he can shoot well enough to stay in the NBA floor or he can’t or he’s like a KJ McDaniels but I mean the the volume was much better this year he’s a good foul shooter he’s like a good Handler I just there’s nothing about him that isn’t pretty good for an NBA at for at an NBA level it’s really just like is he an end of the bench guy or is he someone who’s going to like work his way into actual well minutes and it really depends on who where he goes yeah I was gonna say and you know I will always raise my hand here I’m I’m gonna guess I’ve seen most of if not all of these guys less than you um the theory of Isaiah Crawford would be Defender who can you know like you said wing siiz he does have an injure history also which is why look and there’s all of these guys probably have some reason why they would be available in the round or wherever you know what I mean and you know Crawford I think is I’m looking at it now I think he’s like in the 70s or 80s for ESPN um our guy Sam has him in the 50s so that’s higher than most people would have him you got him higher than that I have him in the top either he’s 19 or he’s 20 so I mean but realistically he’s going in second round right I don’t think he’s gonna go in the first round even if you think he should um and second round maybe Boston or somebody takes him in in the late first that’s that I feel like almost like from like 28 eight to the end is almost the second round uh it’s just it’s just a guaranteed contract um I I think that your sorry the question is basically what can you do on NBA court and if you can defend as a wing and shoot enough that theory is pretty appe not that everybody’s G set Oney but to bring it back to Hawks context Seth’s the opposite way where like his shooting is his calling card right yeah we both enjoy last year in the not as much as some yes B who they Dro in they dropped in the 40s and show what he was supposed to be this year didn’t play a lot in the NBA but bombing in the G League Etc and he has an NBA skill his shooting is an NBA skill Crawford you would say it’s probably gonna be his defense but you got to be able to do the other side especially if you’re going to be drafted as a role player who is older but in the second round like who cares how old they are yeah you’re just trying to hit for a guy that’s G help you Bernard James got drafted in the second round he was 28 what a story he was awesome dud he was he was an awesome college basketball player that’s not sh on sarge Sarge was was cool he had his like three years of being okay in the NBA and then he was in his early 30s and oh yeah it’s brand Weeden yeah except he didn’t get you know drafted like 14th or whatever so there there’s a guy that you know in typical fashion I should have known you were going to go with someone I wasn’t prepared for but that’s how that’s how this goes Today Show

with the folks at FanDuel America’s number one Sportsbook let’s stay with the wings for a while yeah because every team needs wings but especially the Hawks I think if they were going to do something like get back getting back in the draft it would make sense if it was to be for a wing siiz player for the way that bu their roster Wing second round Rings wings for me it’s almost more like evaluating NFL prospects almost like offensive lineman where it’s like can this guy play guard okay he’s gonna start for 10 years he’s not like an elite player but he is fine it’s like that where it’s it’s almost more granular scouting where it’s like do they do two or three things well then he’s he’s gonna make it he’s gonna be fine and I think there’s there’s this is the strength of this draft there’s a Kad Johnson’s a guy I’m not really going to talk about but he’s another guy of mar if the shot is okay he’s 66 230 awesome Defender dunks everything I feel like he’s Rising by the way while we’re here just to mention I feel like people are starting to buy him a little bit more for whatever he was really good um I agree and that’s another older guy I think he’s 23 yeah uh yeah he’s gonna turn 23 uh I think what around the draft sometime um that’s sort of that’s sort of where I’m out Jaylen Wells is another guy’s kind of the inverse if he can flew anything but shoot he’ll like it Kean George um he’s younger though but like uh uh Jaylen Tyson’s sort of the more so I can understand being higher on him because I think he has more Dynamic skill but I think what he does is harder to you have to clear a higher floor to to succeed at that role because then you’re just like kind of a if you’re like G to be a three L dble half shoot guy but you’re not actually good at it then you you’re not going to make the league you have to be the these guys I’m mentioning and then the next I’m going to mention are all probably going to get on the floor because of their defense and phys physicality so the other stuff can be okay it can be you know three out of five and you can still play in the league again like Jay Crowder is still in the league technically well you have you have to have enough that’s the thing like you can’t be a non-entity on offense you gotta be guarded that that’s really it seems simple because it is but it’s also like if you’re not a shooter it’s really really hard like if you’re like a total non-shooter because then you have to be so good at everything else but if you can shoot 35% on open threes like that’s enough for some of these guys to make it to stick given the rest of their defense and stuff like that um the the guy here I think is the most probably interesting like developmentally is also the oldest guy which is interesting but he’s had basketball wise he’s not very old and I’m talking of course about tyion Grant Foster from Grant Canyon the I know you love him yeah well the former the former Kansas recruit he was so long Riding Road for him yeah yeah he was a guy who academically didn’t do very well he was in a rough area in Kansas City ended up being a Joo guy who was just so awesome athletically that he dominated went to Kansas play was like the seventh or eighth man on that title team you know played well but he was just like an energy guy he didn’t really have the ball decided probably wisely that he thought he could maybe make the league transfers the Paul played one half of basketball set a career high in scoring in that half had a heart had a heart attack in the locker room had a pacemaker put in had a second heart attack as he was practicing for Rehab while he was playing a pickup game with Christian Brown uh I don’t know the second one may not have been hard he had another sort of event of some kind and was gone he was retired from basketball he was done and then this past summer decided to see he had one year of Eligibility remaining he got his Co year basically yep uh and he was still he wanted to go back to school and then he decided to try and see if anyone would actually recruit him he was cleared to play uh from what I’ve heard as complete like as clean a bill of health as you can get for someone who’s had you know heart issues yep um and went to Grand Canyon which is the only school that recruited him and physically dominated there it’s like he this is interesting I was really happy to see his um his combine results were essentially identical to assar Thompson’s 66 215 611 75 wingspan and I can say he’s 90% of that level athlete like he’s he is you GNA ask Alabama this Alabama team that might be number one in the country next year that just went to they went to the final four uh until they lost that was the toughest game they had he put He put the fear of God into them like that game yeah yeah he was dominating he if he’d hit if he free throw shooting had come long they might have won that game he also he also he also beat St Mary’s in the previous game himself he’s the best player that game too yeah and he yeah he’s a absolutely dominant athlete just flies around defensively I he makes mistakes but he’s one of those guys who can recover and I think he’s going to be an awesome look at like derck Jones this year in the playoffs this year like this guy is athletically just above people and that but the difference with tyion is that including what what differentiates him from lar Thompson is that like I wouldn’t looked at his I wouldn’t look deep into his Synergy numbers because I I watching him shoot so many of his three-point jots were like high use like Paul George [ __ ] like Paul George like six six six seven dribbles coming around screens and it’s like he’s not gonna do that in college or in the NBA uh but on open shots he shot like I think 41 or 42% like on on ones that are classified as open by Synergy like he should shoot fine his his shot died be much much easier in the NBA he’s just going to probably be a run cut jump dot guy energy guy transition guy and to shoot spot ups and maybe attacks some Closeouts and even that at 24 being an athlete who has some touch will play defense and will fit in that’ll give him a a few years in the league to you know prove himself but the fact that he really is never he’s never been this was the first year he was ever not counting this juko year he was ever the number one option on a team team and he basically missed three years of development so like it’s almost Brandon Clark he plays nothing like Brandon Clark but Brandon Clark I I remember having to field questions about how old he was and it’s like Brandon Clark is basically not like he’s been playing basketball as the guy he as the guy that he is he’s been playing basketball for like a year and a half because he was a different guy tian’s like that too he’s played like 35 games as this version of himself and this version of tyion Grant Foster is a is a top 30 player of this draft in the not very good draft uh the version who was at Kansas is not not some you draft but it’s I don’t know I think he’s it’s not just that he’s a good story I think he’s legitimate one of the five to 10 best athletes in this class and like has some skill so I don’t know if he gets picked in the first I could see it happening and I I could also see him sliding into the 40s but I’m pretty sure he will be drafted at this point I know his workouts have been very impressive doing the old Kevin Garnett workouts you no like the uh the the famous story that Kevin Grett when he held his workouts uh for the what was the top like top 20 teams in that draft he came in and started jumping up and T touching the square and he run then he’d run down the floor and jump up and touch the other square and then they were like he did it like he did that like four or five times and then he went thank you all for coming and walked out and I yeah I mean he just showed like look at me look what I can do it’s the Mell Robinson workout is more Rob remember that workout tape of him just like Euro stepping from the three line of dunking and I was like okay yeah I don’t after he just didn’t play basically for a year yeah then but then he he did like three dribble three dribbles cross the entire court and did a windmill dunk and I was like all right well I mean thanks for coming yeah it’s all you really that’s kind that’s the kind of guy I’m talking like there’s some guys where it’s like well we can work with this we can see what we have I I I’m very interested in tion’s development I want to see where he goes I think like Minnesota would be an awesome fit for him somewhere that he can maybe get on the floor a little bit but you don’t have to rely on him at all I want to see where I want to see what he looks like in three years I mean he’ll be 27 then but hey that’s again those the top 20 yeah give where he’ll be picked it doesn’t necessarily matter as much how old he is while we’re here I’m trying to think of guys so I can ask you about I know because I know you have a list but um let’s see here Payton sford went back those are my tier three guy the other tier three guys I haven’t talked about are jacobe Walter who everyone else can talk about he’s fine uh D who I think is interesting Pome d uh shyan is is a shooter jurich you know uh cam Christie who’s fine let’s see oh uh my last tier four guy in the wings and Enrique Freeman from akan who’s a mutant another 23 24 year old guy 67 72 wingspan had a 32 defensive rebound rate of akan which is insane incredbly good just a guy who like uh probably won’t make the make in the NBA because he’s like he’s really like a six7 center uh the the exact comparison I had for him which I had fun finding is the Devonte Kakak I don’t know if you remember him G League Legend sum League guy yeah where it’s like that guy’s a legit rebounder and really good at basketball he just just proba too small for the NBA but I don’t know uh the numbers are crazy so I got I got to talk about him oh I was going I don’t remember who I was going to ask you about um do you like Harrison Ingram he’s fine he the shot he just is there’s a lot of things Harrison does that I really like he is a legit good secondary passer he plays hard he’s a big strong dude he’s got long arms the shot came around a little bit this year he’s def shooter he’s just a he he has no burst and he can’t really dribble in a straight line so he’s bad finisher like and people don’t know who that is by way2 53% he he went to Stanford was a five star had a just basically just did nothing at Stanford he basically did what he he basically did what he did this year he just couldn’t shoot at all yeah he was a six seven guy who couldn’t shoot or couldn’t couldn’t finish and I like what do you he still almost came out it seemed like a couple times maybe um and then he shot what 38% from three this year I don’t know if that’s at North Carolina at at UNC he was pretty good he’s a bad free throw shooter which is a little bit worrying to me like I I’m not gonna act like I’m I’m an expert on on his shooting but it’s a little bit scary when you’re shooting in the 60s and you need to shoot as a as a 67 forward but he’s a man that’s more like more prent because he was a f star Prospect but also I’ve seen him generally in that like 40s 50s range and I was just curious if you about right that’s about right he’s he’s in the tier four with with the I just mentioned Ark Freeman Justin Edwards here Pella Larson Fury cam Christie Tristan enaruna from Cleveland State who was a Kansas guy I believe Iowa State guy another classic um not this level prospect that but the guys I’m really trying to get better at identifying are the I got burned by Grimes and quickly in that one year because they were bad freshman and I just kind of wrote him off I was like ah that guy’s not a prospect and then they eventually play better Vince Williams is a guy that on the other side that I loved as a freshman kind of forgot about for two years and then was like oh yeah that guy um and he’s good um so I’m trying to get better at remembering and identifying those kind of guys the guys I have Nick Clifford has won this year guys that you had high expectations for who disappointed and then slowly built themselves up into a different kind of player and yeah there’s there’s a good amount of those guys in this draft um I’m trying to look at my list of of other wings and forwards you mentioned the two Arizona guys casha Johnson pel lson yeah um those are on the radar because they were more prominent college players yeah I I should I feel like I should like Pella more than I do but if he goes in like the 30s I don’t think he’d be bad like he’s good I I just think it’s an athl like I don’t he’s a classic three out of five guy like he’s pretty good at everything but I don’t know what he does it’s like like Crawford is a much more Dynamic defensive playmaker and like Kad is a much better athlete jimy Watkins is much bigger and stronger tyion is much bigger and stronger and better with the ball like a lot of these guys are I could see Pella playing more minutes as a rookie but just not really being just being a a guy he’s replacement level guy I I do tend to I tend to I try I’m trying to push back against this my tendency especially with wings where I tend to like overvalue the guys who were okay at everything and I’m realizing and it’s not like rocket science but like they kind you kind of need to have like a lead skill or at least one that’s like you’re more sure about versus the guys who are like you use the term three out of five if you’re just three out five on everything you could be an NBA player if you’re if you have the size and all that stuff that you need to have to be an NBA win a lot of these guys make a lot of those guys can make the all rookie team but then they don’t you know they just kind of don’t do anything the rest of their career well yeah and even get that point you got to have like the way I put it is a coach has to like put you in a role and like have a reason to play you Chris Duarte is a guy like that from a recent draft a lot rookie yeah played a good amount of his rookie but he wasn’t actually very good anything right that’s the thing and look and you could be you could be in the league for a long time with that kind of skill set it’s just more of like what’s what’s that GNA what’s it going to do for you um the example I always give of the guy who makes the the guy with the really Jagged skill set who sticks is Carl Landry who Carl L was good at screening he was good at rebounding and he was good at shooting 16f Footers he basically had no other NBA skills but those three things that he was good at he was one of the 10 best basketball players alive at those at them so he played in the league for for 13 14 years and was pretty good yeah it’s it’s a different League then but you’re right it’s like it’s what can you do that a team is going to want you to be on the court for um this is he’s not a pure Wing in the same like Wing four in the same way but um what do you think about Dylan Jones from we were state oh he’s higher than that for me I know that’s I thought so I love Dylan yeah so what what’s what’s the pit what’s the pitch on him because I think he’s like kind of the internet favorite in some respects of a guy who was off the radar he’s a guy he’s a guy who has extreme strengths he is a brick [ __ ] house and he’s 65 65240 with a 7 611 wingspan like he’s one of the strangest bodies he is a below the rim athlete but he is super powerful finisher just a really good ISO scorer he has like the Paul Pierce thing I’m not comparing to Paul Pierce but like Paul Pierce was not that fast not that huge but just got to spots and got fouled a lot and hit a lot of tough shots and hit a lot of like pull-ups without ever being like I would never say Paul Pearson was an elite shooter and Dylan has like the TJ TJ Warren is a guy I compared to a little bit like TJ Warren’s not that wasn’t that big wasn’t that strong bigger than like taller than Dylan Jones but TJ Warren just got fouled hit floaters just was annoying to cover uh John Salmons is kind of like that the difference is the difference is Dylan is also was also per minute probably the second best rebounder in college basketball maybe third after Bott 8 was one obviously at 66 yeah he is he was I think he was fourth or fifth in defensive rebound percentage in the country at Weber State he’s just an awesome rebounder I don’t know how to describe it he doesn’t get boxed out he gets everything it’s weird because usually a guy that size is’s a great rebounder is a great offensive rebounder and he was fine because defensive rebounding is about tools offensive rebounding is about effort yeah but he just I don’t know is it was it role based at all like I’m trying to translate to it’s a smaller conference I can already hear somebody like well it’s weer state like okay but she still can’t fake he was there he was there lead score so a lot of it was probably some Stephen Adams style rebound or Roy hibt rebounds I call him sometimes where uhle Stephen Adams boxes the guy out but lets the guard take the rebound yeah Turner does that too Turner’s good at that um but yeah I don’t know he’s he’s gonna he could still be an easy six seven rebound per game guy in the NBA it’s just like he just reads it well I don’t know um he fights he is a very Jagged player he’s very situational he’s going to have he might be this year’s Bry ball although he has a different skill set where it’s like I can see how some teams would have no use for him yeah but there should be some there should be a team that that can find it’s just like hey can this guy come off the bench and give us 15 a game like probably like I I would at least be willing to bet on it especially in like the 20s and 30s and 40s yeah no I like I like him too I want to make sure that we talked about him briefly because you know he’s not famous to most not I consider him he’s almost a lottery guy to me like he’s just but I can go there like but like I could see him I can see him speaking of guys who could go to Boston at 30 something like that like he could go late in the first now a guy of this kind of archetype who didn’t work out was Mason Jones and that’s there’s some similarities there difference is uh Mason off the court had uh not even he had issues he’s just nobody liked him well and while while because I was a fan I was a big fan yeah I know you liked him a lot while we’re here here I uh I’m contractually obligated to bring up my guy Ryan Dunn yeah um because Ryan Dunn is more famous because he played at Virginia and as we’ discussed previous line on the show is maybe the best defender in the entire draft but it’s just the other end of the floor uh and I think that as we’ve s sort of settled in now it seems like the on the consensus you know inel boards like he’s a late first early second round guy at one point he was maybe G to be a top 20 pick and now I think people just like man he can’t do anything on offense is it is it that like I guess it’s it’s thy stuff too like people have been burned by thy a little to and the counter would be that thol is still someone that people in the league value like people seem to think I’m actually lower On th than most people are but he’s he’s obviously an NBA rotation player yeah like and if you get if you get that that guy at 26 like it’s I think I think the issue is I think at one point he was looked at as herb Jones and now he’s looked at at a stable and there’s a gap there’s a pretty sizable Gap there I honestly think defensively he’s better than th ever was as a prospect it’s hard to say because he didn’t play he didn’t play in the zone well yeah he didn’t play he play I I but even now I mean even now so D in the NBA not this is discuss about him but like he’s still doing the stuff that he always did about like the playmaking but his his like on ball stuff has never been fantastic defensively like I think dun could just Eat You Alive yeah I also am not somebody aside I care I mean I guess if there’s one position you want to have you want to be good on ball it’s that guy the wing stoer guy it’s a dere again the Derrick Jones guy which is actually who done kind of reminds me of physically well and similarly if D you know Derek Jones finally figured out how to shoot and Derrick Jones if Derek if Derrick Jones can shoot then he’s a 15 million player at least you know what I mean so I don’t know if it’s that simple with Ryan Dunn but like I I just love his defense so much’s a lot farther behind though he is and that’s the thing like I will acknowledge even while loving his defense like he currently doesn’t does he do anything on an NBA level offense he like cut then rebound and and I think I think if he play well if he plays on a real basketball team somebody will throw him a lob somebody try throw a lob Virginia I do think that he looked worse at Virginia because he was in doing Virginia things yeah I think if he had went somewhere else it would have been a little bit better Yukon he probably would have had probably would have been a little more effective offensively because they would have just been like hey run run down the floor trist will throw you a
