Which player in this draft is the most like Draymond?

I think OG is the most similar defensively, that being said one of Greens biggest talents is his passing and ball handling, I don't see anybody similar too him given that aspect of his game.

Maybe Deonte Burton? He doesn't pass, but he certainly has better ball handling skills compared to OG, as well as a similar defense impact.

 

Morey will draft Nigel Hayes. 6'6 PF. Warmly welcome.

 

I mean again, tweener bigs that hustle and are active on defense aren't hard to find (Nigel Hayes isn't special on D)

What's harder to find is the ones that also have a 3pt jumper (Bell doesn't currently).

Whats impossible to find, is one that on top of everything above, can also pass and handled the ball. Green averaged 4 assist per game in college for two seasons. Nobody has the defense, 3pt shot and ball handling/passing that Green had, I think Burton is the closest to Green. Outside of that, I would go to Josh Jackson, then you can list guys like OG/Oliver

 

Green actually made 1.4 three's per game at 39% his senior year, and 1.1 three's made at 36% from three his junior year. So I disagree about him not being able to shoot in college even though he's just an okay NBA 3pt shooter. Bell has almost no jump shot what so ever (currently).

I do like Bell's defense, I remember brining him up in the sleepers thread, you replied saying he wouldn't make the league and was Europe bound lol.

I like Bell as a prospect but I wouldn't compare him to Green, he doesn't handle the ball nor pass the ball even remotely close to Green. His jump shot is also currently completely undeveloped. He also doesn't have as much strength and weight as Green, I don't think Bell will be able to play much 5. I think Bell will have similar problems as Harrell trying to fit into a offense in the modern NBA without a legit jumper that will allow him to play full time at the 4. To me Bell is a better defensive, rebounding version of Harrell. So if he develops a jumper, he could be a very good player, but if he doesn't he will struggle to crack rotations.

 

Well I'll take this as saying "Which player in this draft is the most like Green on the defensive end". Bell is your pick, and I respect that opinion. I think that Bell, Burton, OG, JoshJ and Isaac all have the potential to make tremendous impacts on the defensive end as forwards.

Again comparing them as a whole though, I think it's apples to oranges considering Green's offensive ball handling, passing and shooting. Green is an elite passer for a big and that skill set is almost as impressive as his defense. My point on the shooting is that when Green came into the league he already had multiple seasons of good 3pt shooting under his belt, it's a skill he already developed. He wasn't effective his first couple of seasons in the NBA but that doesn't mean that he didn't already have a shot developed. Bell as a 3 year man has near zero in game shot development. I'm not saying he can't develop a shot, it's that he doesn't have it in his game currently and Green did when he was in college.

One comment I'll make on the defensive comparison that you are making between Bell and Green, is that I'm not sure Bell will be able to hold 5's in the NBA. Green's ability to guard centers effectively at his size is amazing, he has serious strength and a low center of gravity like Hayes did, Bell seems lighter and more moveable. I think he will likely have to play near full time PF (which means he has to develop a jumper to crack rotations).
