Who do you think will be a draft steal?

[JwUKFan11]

Can also do someone rated highly that you think will be a bust.
My steal is Dwayne Bacon, I watched him play in high School and college and always thought he had every tool to make it in the NBA. Draft Express has him going 54th.

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

Malik Monk.

 

[mustnotsleepnow]

Malik Monk.

Yup. He won't be a top 3 pick, but I bet he makes teams regret not taking him.

Also think Ferguson and Bam could be as well.

 

[drew_ukfan]

TJ Leaf

 

[bookerfan66]

Caleb Swanigan

 

[BlueBomb]

All the UK guys will be steals in this draft.

 

[JwUKFan11]

Some have Monk at 3. I don't see the Ferguson love, he shot 60% from the free throw line and 30% from 3

 

[TheBlueDisciple]

Whoever drafts right after Lonzo is taken, because they'll have gotten some player that should've likely been gone the pick before. And they also avoid having to have the conversation, "well...should we draft Ball?"

 

[Calsthebomb]

Isaac Humphries lol

 

[BlueBlood66]

Yup. He won't be a top 3 pick, but I bet he makes teams regret not taking him.

Ferguson was hot garbage during his season in Austrailia.

 

[Lempface]

Any Damien Lillards in this draft class? Can't remember being as surprised by an unknown player as he.

 

[Optimus Prime321]

Markannen

 

[ib4ky]

Bam

 

[GoCatsForever2k15]

Giles IF he can stay healthy and recover to ~90% of what he was before his injuries. Obviously a humongous if.

 

[KYNC89]

Nah he is done. He'll be in league but a role player.

 

[StubbornPenny]

Bam will be a steal. Insane he's slid as far as he has, it makes no sense. The NBA has never been worried about taking someone with a questionable jumper until him. I don't get it.

TJ Leaf will be a poor man's Kevin Love. Markkanen will be good, I think.

 

[GoCatsForever2k15]

Possibly. If he's at 90%, he's more than a role player. Have to see how he recovers

That's a long road. He looked like he could barely move at times last year. His vertical looked painful, although he put up a respectable 32.5" max-vert. I hope he recovers, and sometimes they say it takes 2 full years after an ACL to be 100%.

Bam has been mentioned a couple times already, but he would be my choice. I just can't understand why he isn't being looked at in the late-lottery range. I think he will be a contributor right away, and potentially much much more in just a few years.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Caleb Swanigan

Big body, above average shooter, decent rebounder. If he continues to work on his defensive game and keeps improving his motor there's no reason why he can't have a 10 to 12 year NBA career. May not be a super-star, but a solid player on most any team.

Jumper isn't good. Doesn't have the handles. Not that tall. Buuuuttttt he can get all those things and very good. Briscoe on the other hand, the knicks or nets can have him

I think he has a much better offensive game than he was able to show. Our team was dominated by Monk and Fox, which it should have been, but that kept other players from getting into a rhythm. I think Bam will look like a completely different player in the league.

 

[KeepingItReal74]

Fox. If a team passes on Fox at the #1 and #2 picks, then Fox is a steal at #3.

 

[efauth99]

PJ Dozier. He will be a top 15 player in the NBA in 5 -8 years. Kids got some serious skills that will translate much better in the NBA game than the crazy slow pace at SC

 

[2Dope15]

Fox should be the #1 pick, if he is passed on someone will get a steal, even if he is drafted 2nd, 3rd,..etc.. He should go #1 period.

 

[kev69]

Caleb Swanigan

No way he should be projected early second round IMO.

Big if.

2 knee surgeries before the age of 20?

No thanks.

 

[KYNC89]

I just hope my Celtics don't draft fultz. Kid isn't a winner.

Ode not 2.0 except Oden did something in college.

I said that first. Read up a few post. Lol

Yeah I saw that after I wrote it. But we speak the truth!!

Danny Ainge and Dennis Johnson should agree.

True.

My hunch is you're right.

 

[DevilFan1989]

Jonathan Isaac ends up being the best pick after Fultz in this draft but will go below Josh Jackson and Jayson Tatum.

Monk will be a bust in the NBA due to his small size for the SG position and lack of playmaking ability. His ceiling is Lou Williams.

Ntilikina from France will end up being better than Ball, Fox and Dennis Smith Jr.

Don't come on our message board and tell us one of our beloved players is going to be a bust.

That's just a stupid thing to do.

I'm just calling it like I see it. I think Fox is a stud and should go top 5 along with Fultz, Isaac, Ntilikina and Josh Jackson.

Monk is undersized for his position and didn't really have an impressive assist, rebound, block or steal rate in college.

I think JR Smith or Lou Williams is a good prototype for Monk's career. Don't you think?

 

[Wvvrn]

I'll go with SEC POTY Sindarius Thornwell. He will be a highly valued pick in the 2nd round. Never gonna be an all star but I expect him to have a long career and really be able to help his team out right away as a glue guy that can do a bit of everything.

Seems like the type of player the Spurs pick up late and turn into a productive bench guy.

As far as bust, Dennis Smith Jr. Have a feeling he's gonna be disappointing as a top 10 pick.

 

[Fox2monk]

[QUOtheyyE="KeepingItReal74, post: 5950744, member: 12640"]Danny Ainge and Dennis Johnson should agree.[/QUOTE]

It would be amzing to see fox run the celtics for the next ten years. Hes gonna be wall 2.0 and Monk will make a lot of teams unhappy If they pass om him. In todays game his range and shot making is invaluable. I dont recall meeks or murray or lamb even making some of the shots he creates. Even games he was off if we were down he seemed to never miss a big shot.

I am a GM and I can get a guy with the talent and shot making if JR Smith, less headache, hard worker and plays 13+ years, multiple all stars and a ship. What a bust.
