Spencer 62

Vecenie Said on his latest podcast that he has both Clingan and Castle in the top 5. He will have all 3 others in there as well when it comes out.

These 3 along with Givony actually move the needle in the draft world to differing degrees.

would be amazing if Castle went #1

 

[husky429]

Castle deserves to go #1. The knock on him is shooting and that's the easiest thing to improve. He has literally everything else.

The euros haven't wow'ed anyone lately. The only American I've seen above Castle lately is Cody Williams.

Cody is a better shooter right now but is weak and couldn’t really shake his defenders well from what I saw. He was also touted as a big time defensive prospect but Steph is significantly better on that end.

Have no idea what yahoo knows about NBA draft but have both DC & Castle in top 5....the rest of UConn in 2nd round

Past #1s

2019 - Zion
2018 - Luka
2017 - Lonzo
2016 - Simmons
2015 - KAT

 

[Gutter King]

I like Steph in San Antonio. Great for exposure and I just don't see his shooting being a problem in 1-2 years, so that should work realy nicely with Wemby.

For some reason No Ceilings doesn't include Vecenie at the Athletic on there. Maybe he didn't update soon enough (but I think he said he was doing one soon).

Probably depends on workouts but I don’t see Dillingham and certainly don’t see Sheppard going over Steph. May be biased but…

Perth Wildcats center Alex Sarr seems to be the consensus No. 1 overall pick, but what does the rest of the draft look like? Jason McIntyre breaks it down.

Castle at 4
Clingan at 5
Newton at 22

 

[Iluvsuebird]

Castle and Clingan definitely going in the top 10 picks, maybe higher.

Newton and Cam probably going second round, or at least getting a two-way deal.

Karaban could possibly slip into the second round, could possibly get a two-way contract, or could possibly get neither. Will he increase his draft position by returning? Probably a little bit. As previously mentioned, he's the only question mark.

How can you be higher than “top 10 picks”?

Has Karaban going early 30’s. If that’s the case he isn’t coming back

Has Karaban going early 30’s. If that’s the case he isn’t coming back

Big Board, not mock, if that's any consolation. Vecenie would take him in the 30s, not necessarily what teams will do. His last mock from February had him early 40s.

 

[Karmacop]

How can you be higher than “top 10 picks”?

As in, both in the Top 5. Which seems possible given the latest mocks.

what's the difference between a big board and a mock draft? Doesn't take fit into account?

 

[Greedo]

what's the difference between a big board and a mock draft? Doesn't take fit into account?

Right, he's just ranking the best players without thinking about what team is picking where.

 

[husky429]

what's the difference between a big board and a mock draft? Doesn't take fit into account?

Mock will include fit and lottery results eventually.

 

[auror]

what's the difference between a big board and a mock draft? Doesn't take fit into account?

Other people mentioned fit, but also mock is more based on league consensus and intel for where a player's range is, while big board is more of a personal assessment (while obviously recognizing that any of our opinions are shaped by those we talk to, so there is some league consensus baked in).

 

[Scrutineer]

I sure hope someone here (maybe mini-maddog) will keep all these mock draft predictions and rank them after the draft so we can mock all these "experts".
