I think his already-elite driving ability screams 3 even if his 3p% screams bench 5 (hint - that will get far, far better). In any event, two of the top six in this draft are either 4's or 3-4 combos. If CF is a 4, then Dybantsa is still a no-brainer. But what about Boozer or Wilson? Boozer is really the bigger question mark, unless the Mavs don't move up and Wilson somehow drops out of the top six. But if the Mavs luck into the second pick and Peterson is obviously gone, do you automatically go Dybantsa? Or, if your GM (hopefully correctly) believes Boozer is that much better, do you all believe that he and CF could mesh together better than CF could with PJW or Naji?
I know this won’t be popular because it goes against the consensus but if I have the #1 pick, I’m picking Dybantsa. I think Peterson is the most talented player in the draft but based on the limited information we have as fans, I worry he doesn’t have the intangibles. I don’t think he loves basketball tbh. The NBA is hard and talent is not enough. He would still be near the top of my board. I have them ranked Dybantsa, Boozer, Peterson. Positionally, all of them fit with Flagg. Thats what makes Flagg special after all. He’s not “just a 4”.
