It's definitely a weak draft at the top, no guaranteed stars here. Barrett would be the consensus #1 in this draft, along with Zion and Ja of course. We can't rely on finding a piece to build around. But with Barrett and Mitch in the fold, this draft seems to have the things we lack; quality PG depth and shooting depth. The goal should be to use our 3 picks to find role players that fit around our 2 most talented players;
Lottery shooters: Haliburton, Nesmith, Vassell.
Best fit: Haliburton, with Nesmith being a close 2nd. Haliburton is a 3&D combo guard that can probably start from day 1 as long as he's not relied on for too much playmaking. Seems destined to be a great fit next to a ball dominant wing. Barrett is a nice fit next to him on paper.
Mid first shooters: S Bey (a target only if we move up)
Late First shooters: D Bane, T Terry, J Ramsey
Best fit: I love Bane as a 3&D wing. Shot the ball well for 4 years at TCU. Major sleeper to develop into a high level role player.
Second round shooters: PG Pritchard, SG Joe, SF/PF Nwora, PF/C Tillie. All good fits from varying positions. All proven 3pt shooters.
