The other NBA Draft thread is concentrated on who the first round pick will be. Lots of different directions, each option having an impact on team direction and so on.
The first round pick may also have an impact on the second round. A pick of Alperen Sengun or Kai Jones, for example, would likely mean a wing or guard in the second. A pick of a guard or wing in the first round might mean a big man with the other.
Some quick thoughts:
1. After the lottery, this draft is full of guards that are nearly indistinguishable from each other. Once you drill down closer, you see differences, but how to tell who is going to be actually good? A player like Cameron Thomas is a pure scorer, not much else, and may go higher than expected. Tre Mann, Quentin Grimes, Joshua Primo, Joel Ayayi, Josh Christopher, Miles McBride, BJ Boston, and on and on. Who would the Spurs pick if he dropped to them?
2. There may be some good big men floating around. A while back, Isaiah Jackson was getting a lot of burn, as was JT Thor. Isaiah Todd may have a first round promise. Then there are Filip Petrusev, Neemias Queta, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Jay Huff, and others.
3. This leaves some wings. Guys like Joe Wieskamp, Vrenz Bleighenberg, Isaiah Livers, Kessler Edwards, Herbert Jones.
Who do you think the front office is really looking at? We have some indication by way of who has visited, but that's never the full story.
