The hype around Morez Johnson has grown too much for my liking. When I see him I see Maxi Kleber type of upside. That is a really nice player to have but as of now I have serious questions about his outside shot and ability to floor it. There are other guys Id rather select in the top 15 range. Vecenie even has him at #9 in his latest mock. If he slides into the late teens then count me in.
Lendeborg otoh I could be talked into in the late lottery. Or Steinbach who I like a lot.
Also I cant say I am in favor of trading down. I would MUCH rather look the other way and move from #9 and/or the other picks.
If Gafford or Marshall + #30 lands you one of Yaxel / Steinbach then that is the way to go Imo.
Irving
Burries | Christie
Lendeborg
Flagg | PJ
Lively
+ one of Gafford / Marshall
No clear longterm Robin once Irving ages out but overall still an exciting group and good starting point.
