Hot takes!

[The Great One]

Givony has Shappard going 5th. Castle going 16th.

I suspect guys will keep shuffling around since there is no clear cut top players. If we do keep the pick our scouting department better be on point. This will be an easy draft to screw up.

No it's not. There are two clear cut top players. Sheppard and Risacher.

If the Raptors keep their pick, just draft one of the wings. Castle, Buzelis or Holland. Easy.

If you want to screw things up then draft the center(Sarr).

Givonys top 6 (updated 6 days ago)

Risacher
Sarr
Dillingham

Sheppard
Buzelis

So he's got 3 of guys you like in the top 6.

Holland is at 12, Castle at 16.

Clear cut according to you but not Givony who has been doing this for a living for two decades.

I stand by my opinion that these so-called draft experts are no better than some posters here on RR.

After years of following this stuff, I’d even take: T-Rex, PM, magoon & a few others’ draft suggestions over some NBA front offices. lol.

Some of them are definitely better than others. I think Givony is one of the better ones, if not the best.

The fact neither of you guys have Cody Williams in your Top 6 is NUTS.

He's Top 3 easily in this draft for me with Rishacher and Sarr.

Past the Top 3 it's a crapshoot in my view.

Still don't know why you're so big on Sheppard. He's seems to lack positional size as well as typical PG skills, doesn't have a particularly quick first step or a tight handle or creativity with the ball. And he plays like a number 1 option which guaranteed he is not in the NBA.

??????Maybe I need to watch more footage of him but I don't see how his game fits in the NBA. Likely he's going to have to change his game when he gets to the big leagues. I'd take Gradey before I take Sheppard cause Gradey's game is made for an elite role player.

Any other draft year and he wouldn't even be in the Lottery in my books. He's average at being average.

[LJ2]

Right?

And completely on board with Williams and Sarr in the top 5 (haven't watched enough guys to narrow it to top 3). Holland looks like he has everything to be in the top 5, except maybe between the ears.

I love Dick but Sheppard is much better than him. Sheppard is not just an elite shooter but he's also a super high IQ guy, can handle the ball and a VERY good defender.

As for his position, he's a 6'3 SG. The SG position has changed a lot where you're now seeing more undersized SG. Mitchell is a 6'1 SG. Edwards is 6'4. Beal is 6'4. My comp for Sheppard is a higher IQ/better defender version of Beal.

Joey - You're wrong.

Bro, you can't be talking about Sheppard like he's anything like Spider or Edward's. Those dudes are in another league athletically and talent wise. I'm not gonna crap on him cause shooting is always valuable, but he's not in my top 10.

Did I say he's as talented as Edwards? no. I just said he's an undersized SG like Edwards.

As for Sheppard not being in your top 10? that's cool.

The guys you mention are either taller and longer Beal/Edwards or top end athletes Edwards/Mitchell and Beal is no slouch there as well. I’ll hold off until I see his combine numbers.
