Devin Vassell - 2020 NBA Draft Prospect

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

He's a solid ready to go player but also with upside -- a nice combination.

He isn't Wiseman, Okongwu or Avdija but short of that, not bad.

He'll look good a couple years from now.

Hindsight is funny lol

Good thing we drafted that exact player last season, in Keldon... But agree on Vassell being a highly sought-after archetype. He probably won't be there at #11, tbh.

Also, I'll hold off my opinion on Vassell until we get combine measurements. If he's strictly a SG with his height/length, he's much less useful than if he has size to play SF part time or even full time. His frame makes me skeptical of the latter, but it'd make him a more enticing pick for sure.

As it turns out, Devin indeed did not have the frame to credibly play at SF, and he's also proven to not very useful as a starting SG. But to be fair, Keldon has not been the solution either.

Wish he hadn't been there at #11, forcing the Spurs to take Haliburton as I wanted them to...... But then we may not get Wemby, or Fox or Castle.

Let's ship his ass off the team and call it even, tbh.

Watch Devin and Tyrese back to back and you'll see the difference in IQ. Devin has no awareness of spacing and likes to put himself in awful positions to shoot. (He literally drives into two defenders and pulls up)

Magic number is three for the number of prospects who become stars from the first 10 players picked from the draft. Probably three become mediocre role players and the remaining four fall off the face of the planet.

People really want to bet on Devin?

Damn, you were right on the money here! Edwards, Lamelo, Haliburton seem like the 3 established stars from the draft. I'm tempted to include Maxey here as well, though I'm hesitant to call him a "star" in the real sense of the word. Hope he gets out of Philly someday.
