Instead of" comparison", I'd rather go with "poor man's".Best ing draft class in NBA history right there.
Minott traveled with Kendall Brown to Atlanta for a workout. Pretty sure theyll be together in SA too PhantomDashCam

My latest big board
Tier 1 (Best chance to reach s om… not saying they will)
Jaden Ivey
Paolo Banchero
Chet
Tier 2 (Flashes of special talent)
Jalen Williams
Jabari Smith
Blake Wesley
Bennedict Mathurin
Tier 3 (Easier to expect good production off the bat. Some question marks about reaching s om, but there’s a chance)
Keegan Murray
Dyson Daniels
Shaedon Sharpe
Tari Eason
Tier 4 (Blue collar prospects who can become elite role players, outside chance to become something more)
Jeremy Sochan
Josh Minott
Marjon Beauchamp
Gabriele Procida
Ousmane Dieng
Johnny Davis
Mark Williams
Malaki Branham
Tier 5 (Boring picks where you kind of know what you’re gonna get. Not the worst picks in the world. But maybe these picks are what you need sometimes)
EJ Liddell
Jake Laravia
Ochai Agbaji
Jalen Duren
Kendall Brown
Tier 6 (Would love to have any of these guys prove me wrong, especially PBJ. There’s talent there, but they have a lot to prove to make me have faith again)
AJ Griffin
Nikola Jovic
PBJ
Leonard Miller

Would be thrilled to draft with the 9th pick: Tier 2
Would be happy to draft with the 9th pick: Tier 3
Would be happy to draft with either 20th or 25th pick: Tier 4
Would be satisfied to draft with 25th pick: Tier 5
Would be alright to draft with the second round pick: Tier 6
I didn't know Shannon Sharpe went from Undisputed to declaring for the NBA Draft. He's a little too old
Sat here for 30 minutes asking, “what the is he talking about?”I didn't know Shannon Sharpe went from Undisputed to declaring for the NBA Draft. He's a little too old
i fixed it
I dunno about this. Green finished 48th out of 55 players in standing vertical leap, and in the bottom half of his draft class in sprint speed. His agility time was slower than Andre Drummond's.
The main reason he dropped to the 2nd round was the perception/fear that he was too unathletic.
By what I see in how they move, Green looks quicker, more athletic than Sochan even though Green didn't rank high in his class.
Not saying Green is the most athletic but looks better than Sochan who doesn't have good vertical lift athleticism.
I have no idea how you can say Sochan isn't athletic. Just look at the first segment, starting at :20 here. He's very quick and covers space very well for a player his size. It's okay not to like him or want him picked, but he's very athletic.
I have this crazy feeling Griffin is going to go high. Griffin has this really long neck, meaning he won't play as tall as he actually is.
Every NBA player is athletic But as compared with others at his position Sochan lacks athleticism. It even lists a need of improvement is lacks explosiveness and vertical lift.
He's projected top ten so he isn't a stiff but offensively is his area of needed improvement.
I want more of an athlete and go to scorer at 9 from this draft and if the spurs can't get one at 9 then work a deal to move up a couple of spots to get one.
But I expect Sochan will be the pick for the Spurs.
Because people equate "athletic" with "jumps high"... and there's much more to athleticism than that. Sochan doesn't play above the rim, but he's got no problem staying in front of his man, even smaller guards, is extremely active, reacts quickly, reads the play well and is always in the right place at the right time... when you watch his team, he jumps at you instantly and not because of his hair color, but because he's always doing something productive, wreaking havoc on the opposition, making things happen. He's the kind of guy that does the dirty work, leads his teammates, gets on your nerves... the kind you LOVE on your team but HATE on your rival. Honestly I don't see how he can not be AT THE VERY LEAST a very productive player rotation player for 15 years, unless his shot regresses in a Markelle Fultz kind of fashion. If it improves to league average, watch out, this guy is the kind every winning team needs. I'd love him on the Spurs.

On top of that he's got this weird jump shot where he lifts from the floor about as much as my late grannie. His 3 pt shot is dead accurate, though, and I'm counting on someone fixating on him because of that. Just hope it's not the Spurs.

The Spurs are going to end up with an entire team of beta, 2nd rate role player offensive players if they go Sochan at 9, with no alpha scorer on the team.
You can't win with that type of team.
If Sochan pans out, he's not a "beta role player". It's much easier to get a volume 20 PPG scorer than a player of his size, versatility and BBIQ
I'm probably the only one on here who doesn't want Sochan at 9.
If that were true than Sochan should be getting drafted ahead of the top offensive players like Mathurin and Murray in this draft.
The top potential offensive players are the ones getting picked high.
I don't know about that... but I will concede that you are consistent
You don't have the foggiest idea what athleticism is.
Yeah, he's obviously athletic, there's no question. He's also a big, strong guy who knows how to occupy space on defense. Some of those switches, too, are instant. He's making switches on instinct and changing types of individual defense according to who he's covering in a flash. It's super impressive. There are possessions where eats guards up, too. Needs more seasoning and discipline, to be sure.
Always this Sochan talk, no chance spurs draft a guy with pink hair lol
You'll get your wish with Sochan picked at 9.
