My potential second round steals list. I've posted one on the board the last 2 years. Here is this year's iteration. This year's list I've lost a few guys to being late risers (and you might quibble with a guy or two but I tried to take guys who i hadn't seen going high). But I'm taking THT because of this fact.
The Cripples
Chuma Okeke- guy is a future PJ Tucker. He's a lottery pick if he doesn't tear his ACL against UNC.
Jontay Porter: Another probable lottery pick without the torn ACL.
The Short Condors
Talen Horton-Tucker: he was a first rounder but he's completely dropped off the first round radar off most of the mocks i've seen. He's only 6-4 but has a 7-1 wing. it's an odd body, but it lets him have some serious defensive versatility. His youth is a big factor as well. He should get a lot better.
DaQuan Jeffries: He and Tucker are very similar. Like both. They're both super long despite short frames. This version is more likely to be a solid bench contirbutor, but he also dominated the pre-draft circuit.
The Big Guys
Nic Claxton: Excellent defensively and probably more of a rim runner than anything else on offense, but does have some playmaking ability not seen from centers.
Daniel Gafford: Analytics like him as a nice safe pick. Guy would've gone top 20 last year. Both he and Claxton could end up first rounders anyway. This draft has great big talent
The Nerd
Miye Oni: The Yale guy!! He's got plus skills in the dribble pass and shoot areas plus an almost 6-11 wingspan. He's an nba player
Multi-Skilled guards
Jeremiah Martin, Memphis
Cody Martin, Nevada
John Konchar
The first two have all the skills required to make it as a guard (like Oni). Konchar is an analytics darling from a small school who really struggled at Portsmouth. I'll take a swing this late.
The Strong Long Shot
Alen Smailagic: An analytics darling who is one of the youngest guys in the draft who played straight to the G League. Great blocks and steals. He's long as hell. The Warriors have tried to hide him. He's likely the reason they bought the 41st pick.
