Doing all of the little things that help your team win matters. Will overcome his weaknesses because he gives a shit.

6. JONATHON KUMINGA
Has about a 40% chance of scoring 27PPG. Has about a 40% chance of being a total flop. Has about a 20% chance of being a functional non-staring NBA role player. Anybody want to gamble?

7. ALPEREN SENGUN
Is a savant. Turkish basketball prodigy. Just draft him and figure out how he fits in the NBA later.

9. JOSH GIDDEY
50% chance of being a perfect modern NBA guard. 50% chance he cant shoot, is a terrible NBA athlete and is a total flop. Who likes to gamble?

10. CHRIS DUARTE
Can play basketball very well.

11. FRANZ WAGNER
Is 6'11 and will probably be able to defend, rebound, shoot and pass in time.

12. TREY MURPHY
Fits a $20-million NBA archetype like a glove. Wont be able to make plays of the dribble because he literally can not dribble.

13. CAM THOMAS
The idea of the game is to score more points than your opponent right? Wait, there is more to it than that? Are you sure?

14. COREY KISPERT
Hard to get excited about him. But, this is the last chance to get a player with about a 95% probability of being an NBA rotation player.

15. ZAIRE WILLIAMS
Soft as a baby's bottom. But you just gotta pretend the whole Stanford thing never happened and draft him anyway.

17. USMAN GARUBA
Look, he cant shoot and he is not a center. You still take him and hope he is bulkier-european Mattis Thybulle.

18. TRE MANN
Does all of the things that NBA combo guards need to be able to do. Still growing, could fill out his frame and be a pretty darn good player in a year or two.

19. JEREMIAH ROBINSON - EARL
Top 25 recruit. Strong 6'9. Plays his ass off and has a Villanova pedigree. Just has to improve his shooting, athleticism and ball-handling a teeny-tiny-little-bit and he will be a good NBA role player.

20. HERB JONES
Just draft him, and figure out the rest later. Don't ask me about the jump shooting.

21. JASON PRESTON
Does all of the things that NBA point guards need to be able to do. Originally thought he was a sleeper, but now realize that he is just flat out good. Skinnier than Tre Mann which is hard to do but has a 6'9 wingspan.

22. JARED BUTLER
Can be a role player on a win-now playoff team.

Can be a role player on a win-now playoff team. Similar defense with more reliable jump shot than Davion Mitchell. Same finishing in the paint concerns.

24. DAVION MITCHELL
Doesn't really do the things that NBA players are asked to do. College stats in the paint and from three were good, but the context of those shots will change in the NBA. Can still be an role player on a win no team.
