Like I'm legitimately taller/longer wingspan than Reed or Rob--I'm surprised at just how small they really are. FVV is able to be fairly effective around that height and length, but he is built like a small tank and has an insane motor/work ethic. If I could just go get Cason Wallace from OKC for the #3 pick I think I might just do it at this point. I don't know if he will be quite the shooter that Sheppard or Dillingham are but I'm a much bigger believer in his defense, and the shooting looks great so far. If we keep the pick and Risacher is on the board he's probably my guy here
Midgets won't help us vs OKC, Minny and Spurs. Spurs gonna get 6'6 Topic and have 6'5 Vassell, OKc has SGA. Both will just shoot over Sheppard. McDaniels is 6'11 Sheppard won't even be able to get his shot off and he'll look like a kid with his candy stolen.
Im going to be going back and forth several times but I'm team Sheppard Now Perfect fit for now and the future Amen Reed Cam Bari Sengun

Another candidate could include Nikola Topic if the front office wants to invest in a point guard of the future, with Tyus Jones entering unrestricted free agency this summer and expected to draw significant interest on the market. Forward Cody Williams is also another player some scouts and executives would take near the top of the draft, given his high floor and potential ceiling. •After vaulting up six spots in the lottery and landing the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, the Houston Rockets can now trade as many as five first-round picks this offseason in a package to land a star player. Houston pursued an upgrade in Brooklyn Nets forward Mikal Bridges before the trade deadline, as first reported by HoopsHype, and league sources expect Rockets executive Rafael Stone to be active on the trade market again leading up to the draft. •Reed Sheppard is a name to keep an eye on for the Spurs in the draft along with Nikola Topic if he’s still on the board. •G League Ignite prospect Matas Buzelis is a notable candidate for the Pistons at No. 5 overall if he’s still on the board due to his playmaking as a secondary ball handler, positional size, outside shooting potential, and shot blocking. It’s worth noting Buzelis is represented by Michael Tellem of Excel Sports, son of Pistons Vice Chairman Arn Tellem. •UConn’s Stephon Castle is among the early contenders for Charlotte’s selection. Castle would provide defense to a team that sorely lacks in that department and take pressure off Ball as the primary ball handler. •Dalton Knecht or Ja’Kobe Walter could make sense for Portland at either the No. 7 or No. 14 picks. •(8) Several candidates could make sense for San Antonio here, including Rob Dillingham, Cody Williams, and Ron Holland. •Memphis wants to add at least one big man to its rotation this offseason. If UConn’s Donovan Clingan is still on the board, he’d be an ideal fit to allow Jaren Jackson Jr. to slide over to power forward and help him stay out of foul trouble. If Clingan is off the board, G League Ignite prospect Ron Holland embodies the throwback “Grit and Grind” defensive mentality, which was previously a staple of the organization. •If Ainge can’t find a suitable deal, a name to keep an eye on is Tennessee’s Dalton Knecht, the reigning SEC Player of the Year, who’s ready to contribute immediately at 23 years old and can stretch the floor well. Ainge has several potential items on his offseason agenda list, including discussing a potential renegotiation and extension with Lauri Markkanen and potentially exploring the trade market for John Collins. •The Chicago Bulls remained with the No. 11 spot and could land a potential rotation player at that spot, including Isaiah Collier or Dalton Knecht, if either player is still on the board. •Oklahoma City could use frontcourt depth, and prospects such as center Yves Missi and forwards Tyler Smith and Tidjane Salaun could be in play for the Thunder. •With Malik Monk set to enter unrestricted free agency and potentially price himself out of Sacramento, the Kings could look at several guards here, including Duke’s sharpshooter Jared McCain and Providence’s stout defender and emerging offensive threat Devin Carter. •(14) If Portland keeps both of their lottery picks, an upside swing like forward Tidjane Salaun could be in play here.
I chose trade, but would be ok with: - trade - Reed - Matas (maybe, need to investigate his shooting) - Rischacherre
6'3 wingspan he isn't scoring in the paint. I'm not even sure defense is gonna be good since he isn't athletic.
Tall perimeter defenders who can't shoot is unplayable in this league unless they have other tools like Amen Thompson. If FVV can get his shot off and shoots 38% from 3 at high volume. why can't these guys get their shots off?
I still like Reed if they see him as a PG primarily... But I don't know about him @ 3 anymore.... I still think he's got a chance to be a really good player, but I don't know about elite...Those measurements are disappointing.
Jsut a heads up, but that’s a derogatory term. I know a several little persons who really don’t appreciate that term/verbiage. They prefer “little person”. Some empathy and education can go a long ways. Please don’t use that term.
