NCAA Basketball Odds & Picks: How to Bet Tuesday's College

Welcome back to Build a Bear Dynasty, the least lit series about the most lit team in the NBA. This week I will be discussing Jonas Valanciunas.
Before I get to that, there are a few topics I need to discuss to give context to what I consider Jonas’ strengths and weaknesses. I realize that in the introduction I had brought up alternating player profiles and analysis of modern NBA terminology, but in planning for this first player piece I quickly realized that it would be helpful to be ‘on the same page’ so to speak when using certain words and terms to discuss his game.
So before getting to the analysis, there are a couple of the more vague terms used to describe basketball that I would like to break down first: Modern Offense, and Positionless Basketball.
Modern Offense
Broken down to its simplest terms, the game of basketball from a team’s perspective is played in two distinct phases: offense and defense. In the fewest words possible, offense is the team’s attempts to score points by putting the ball through a basket, and defense is the team’s attempts to prevent the other team from doing the same.
What makes basketball unique amongst North American major sports, and in my personal opinion makes it the most intriguing and beautiful sport, is the fact that it is the only one where the rules are written so that every player on the floor is allowed to perform every single legal action. All players are allowed access to every spot on the floor, and when the ball is in theirs or their defender’s hands they are allowed to do the same things every other player is.
Through a combination of the fluid nature of the sport, the inherent advantages both size AND speed can bring, and various changes to the ruleset, the game of basketball has evolved over time, valuing certain traits and attributes over others as they prove more or less useful in the changing landscape.
If you are at all familiar with competitive video gaming, you might refer to this concept with the term ‘Meta.’ In esports players develop optimal strategies through time and experience, and due to games often having fixed values for things like ‘damage’ and ‘health,’ players quickly find the statistically most ideal strategies, and the best teams spend hours and hours honing very specific skills and counters to give themselves the best odds of winning based on the rules of the game.
To counteract this rote memorization of inputs, modern game companies that produce multiplayer titles will often continue to update the game periodically after its release, not only to fix bugs and glitches, but to also change the game’s ‘meta’ to prevent the game from getting stale. They do this primarily through improving or worsening the values of certain items or characters in a practice known colloquially as ‘Buffing’ and ‘Nerfing,’ or by introducing new characters and gear all together. Players get used to the new changes, adopt new strategies, and the cycle continues as long as the developers continue to update, or as the players continue to uncover new strategies that provide further optimization.
WARNING: Incoming extensive history of the game Super Smash Bros. It does relate to later content, but is unnecessary if you wish to skip ahead to the next section about basketball.
An Unlikely Comparison
In theory, if the values of a game remain fixed, given enough time the players will develop the optimal strategy to play the game. A popular meme referring to the game Super Smash Brothers is the phrase ‘no items, foxes only, final destination’ referring to the presumed ‘optimal’ way to play the 2nd game in the series, Super Smash Brothers Melee. No items that might randomly give a player an advantage, the character many veterans of the game consider to be the all around best when combining his speed, attack power, and ability to survive, and a completely flat and empty stage that quite literally levels the playing field.
It took a very unique history for the game Super Smash Brothers Melee to get a point where there’s an almost universally held belief that there is a single ideal way to play the game. Before companies had the ability to update games over the internet thereby giving them the power to adjust the game after its release, one on one style fighting games like Tekken, Soul Calibur, and Street Fighter would release a new installment every few years. They would usually keep the majority of the same character roster and mechanics, while updating graphics, movesets, and the values of things like health and damage to keep the ‘meta’ game fresh between installments.
Unlike the directors of those other game series, the creator of Super Smash Brothers, Masahiro Sakurai, prefers the elements of a game that are fun for everyone, over those that make for an ideal competitive experience. Things like powerful items appearing next to players out of nowhere, and certain parts of some stages randomly hurting players all add to the chaos of Smash Brothers that makes it a fun party game.
But as with any game, whether it’s intended for fun or competition, players came along that wanted to adjust the rules to make it more challenging and skill based. By turning off the in game items and picking only certain stages agreed on by the competitors, a whole community developed to play an intrinsically anti-competitive game in a way that was more skills based.
In 2001 Nintendo released the Gamecube and Sakurai released the second Super Smash Brothers game, Super Smash Brothers Melee. The new game not only introduced new characters, but also massively changed the speed and feel of the game, making use of the new console’s better processor to create a more dynamic and fast paced game. The competitive community grew some more, but Nintendo as a company is very protective of their intellectual property, and at the time would go to extreme lengths at times to shut down grassroots tournaments and consumer created content, so it remained small in comparison to other fighting game communities.
Though a large number of players enjoyed the new gameplay, Sakurai felt that an overly competitive game was taking away from his vision of a fun and friendly game, and in the third installment he released, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, he slowed down the gameplay a bit, and added in random mechanics like tripping players that moved too quickly.
Unable to turn off those mechanics like they could with items in previous games, the competitive scene rejected the new game with large sections of the community sticking with the older Melee, and some going to incredible lengths to actually rewrite the code to modify the properties of the game itself.
Through a combination of a failure of the third game to capture the hearts of the players, and Nintendo focusing most of its efforts on shutting down the fan modified versions of Super Smash Bros Brawl, the competitive Melee scene exploded in a way unprecedented for a decade old fighting game. To this day, across the country tournaments are held fielding hundreds of players from here and abroad. Players new and old spend hours scouring over statistical data and practicing to hone the most optimal skills to give themselves an edge in tournaments with huge cash prizes. And it all culminates in a silly internet joke about Fox being the statistically optimal character.
If you’d care to know more about the ‘golden age’ of competitive Melee, there is a very well done, fan-made, 9 part docu series on youtube called ‘The Smash Bros’ that follows one of the most unique fandoms and cultures of any group that I’ve encountered.
But as I am sure most of you are thinking, what in the hell does a 20 year old Japanese video game played by a bunch of nerds have to do with basketball?
BACK TO BASKETBALL
Well, when it comes to sports in general, I feel that the term ‘meta’ is an excellent way of framing how basketball has changed as a sport over time. Players work on specific skills they feel give them an edge, coaches come up with plays that have more chance of success, defenses work to adapt to those and the league evolves.
New players enter the league every year, rosters change through trades and free agency signings, and league management ‘updates’ the game with occasional rule changes that they feel will balance the game better for the players and viewers.
Sometimes the changes are poorly received, like when they removed dunking from the college level of basketball from 1967-1976 as a result of a young Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s NCAA dominance. Other times they drastically affected the entire fabric of the sport.
In 1979 when the league introduced the 3 point shot during Magic Johnson and Larry Bird’s rookie seasons, it changed the sport more drastically than anyone at the time may have realized. In the previous 87 years of the sport’s existence, having every shot during play have the same value of 2 points meant that the shot that went in the most is by default the best shot. This obviously led to taller players having an advantage, and a natural tendency for players to work as hard as possible to get as close to the rim when they can for an easier shot. If you looked at an overall ‘heatmap’ of an NBA court of how successful players were at shooting from certain spots, it would loosely look like a smaller hot circle centered on the basket, that cools in all directions the further from the basket it gets.
But with some shots being worth 3 points, a player could shoot a worse percentage while adding more value to the offense. A player that could shoot 50% while 20 feet from the rim would add 6 points for every 6 shots, and compared to other players in NBA history would be a midrange god. But a player shooting just 34% from just a few feet further away would add a slightly better 6.04 points for every 6 shots, and would have been considered a below average 3 point shooter in the league last season.
Kevin Durant, known as one of the greatest scorers of all time, over his career has shot 44.5% from between 3 and 10 feet from the basket, effectively 0.89 points per shot. On the other hand, the 2019-2020 league average 35.8% shooting from 3 is worth 1.074 points per shot. If you looked at a heatmap shot chart from today’s league, it would now have a ring that is the 2nd hottest part of the floor, behind the efficiency of the space immediately around the rim.
Suddenly there was a spot on the floor that theoretically had the same offensive value as a spot much closer to the basket. In a sport dominated by long limbed giants, any time a team gets to spread out the defenders makes it a little bit easier to get off clean looks. We refer to this trend in modern terms as ‘Spacing’ which I’ll focus on a bit more in next week’s piece.
It essentially boils down to that ‘spacing’ is all about generating separation between an offensive player and a defensive player. The more separation a player has from their defender, the more likely they’ll make their shot.
If you’ve ever seen NBA players warm up before a game, you’ll notice very quickly that they almost never miss when shooting a wide open set shot. By the time most of these players get to the league, they’ve played thousands of hours shooting from all over the floor. The hard part of the sport for most of them isn’t being able to shoot well, it’s shooting well while being defended by 7 foot monsters that can reach above the height of the rim without leaving the ground.
But the disadvantage that most 7 footers have that shorter players can potentially take advantage of is foot speed. Until 1979 this wasn’t a huge concern outside of transition basketball, as the goal of most players was to get as close to the rim as possible and taller players could camp out and wait, instead of chasing smaller, faster players around. But now there was an area of the floor that offers good value and covers a comparatively huge area. It’s easy to play defense when you know the team is working towards one direction and you don’t have to move as much, but when the offense can now move forwards AND backwards to get a better shot, it opens up a completely new realm of possibilities for offensive and defensive strategy.
Since that point and unless the league removes the 3 point line, all strategies and players have worked towards optimizing that potential. Modern Offense is the culmination of all of those efforts. But what strategy has evolved from all of this combined talent and effort? It took the Smash Brothers community more than a decade of study and practice to come to the conclusion that Fox is the best character. What type of ideal player archetype has the past 40 years been building towards? The trend I personally feel the NBA is moving towards is another vague but oft repeated term.
Positionless Basketball
It's an intriguing pair of words that is often used when discussing players that don’t fit the historic trends. Giant playmakers like LeBron and Ben Simmons that make point guards of look tiny, PJ Tucker playing the center position full time despite being a good 4 inches shorter than most other centers, 7 foot shooters like Jaren and Kristaps Porzingis that play more like a traditional small forward on offense.
But this loose definition feels like it’s only halfway there to me. There still seems to be this underlying assumption that positionless basketball is the positions themselves still existing, but players don’t have to play a specific role based on their size or skills. People will describe an idealized team of a 6’8 point guard with 3 6’8 wings and a 6’10 guy to play center and they all switch on defense. But they still expect the point guard to make most of the plays, the center to get most of the rebounds, and to generally run traditional NBA sets, just with a larger group of guys that are closer to a median height so they can all defend each other on the other end.
But a few recent things lead me to believe that it’s more than that. Could positionless basketball actually mean the end of the concept of positions in the sport of basketball? While I’m not sure we’ll ever get to a point where every player does every skill equally well, I do think we are starting to see a fundamental change in the way NBA teams across the league build their rosters around this idea of positionless basketball, and nothing is more responsible for it than the combination of Steph Curry and YouTube.
Breaking the Game
From the start of his career, Steph Curry has worked his way to breaking nearly every record you can think of when it comes to 3 point shooting. For his career he has shot 43.5% from 3 on over 8 attempts a game. That kind of shooting is not only unprecedented, it is statistically dominating when it comes to winning games. At an absurd 1.305 points per shot, a player would have to shoot 65.3% from inside the 3 point line to match that kind of scoring output per shot. When you consider that the true shooting percentage of the average NBA champion over the last 10 years is around 57.5%, Steph is hands down the best player in league history when it comes to adding offense through 3 point shooting, and he does it at a level that can win championships.
When the league average for 3 point shooting hovers around 35%, the value it provides is mostly from spacing the defenders, as though it’s efficient it’s not enough to beat scoring at the rim over the course of a game. The fact that Steph can shoot that volume, that efficiently, and maintain that performance against championship level defenses is game changing. He essentially proved that it’s possible to focus your game entirely around the 3 point line and still lead an NBA offense in scoring, something never done before.
In terms of positionless basketball this might have changed everything. If a player can shoot from 3 better than most can from 2, then ideally you’d want players that can shoot from 3 more than players that score inside unless they’re truly elite at scoring inside.
But not every player is Steph Curry, or Klay Thompson. Those two were raised by former NBA players that were above average 3 point shooters. You could argue that it might be that genetics gave them the shooting gift, but I think it’s more likely that they just practiced shooting more than any other kid playing basketball, and the part of genetics they benefited from most is their above average height.
Just look at Jaren Jackson Jr. another player raised by a former shooting specialist. He has a completely different form and build from his dad, but because his dad likely had him practicing like a shooting guard he naturally spent more time shooting 3’s than most kids.
Of course the vast majority of players coming into the league don’t have former players to teach them from a young age. But for players entering the league in this decade this might not be as big of a hindrance as it has been for players in the past.
Unlike every other kid to grow up and play in the NBA in the past, any player born this millennium has access to YouTube from the time they are physically able to manipulate a touchscreen. Across society this has had far reaching consequences that I think we were entirely unprepared for, and are only just now starting to come to fruition.
If you or someone you know is heavily into makeup as a hobby and artform, you might have jokingly said or heard them talk about the fact that “there are 13 year olds on YouTube that are experts at contour, and why don’t 13 years look like cabbage patch kids in overalls like when we were younger?” And it’s not just makeup. You look at any hobby, talent, skill, activity and you will see a bunch of experts expressing incredulity at the number of young people demonstrating master level skill in all these things that took them decades to hone.
The internet, and specifically streaming video is still in its infancy as a human technology, so there isn’t a ton of long term research of the effects of things like social media. While some it is likely bad for humanity as a whole, I don’t think we’ve considered just yet how positive it could be as well. We have instant access to every bit of information you could think to find, and videos posted by talented people of every interest that want to share that interest with others.
When you consider the fact that kids brains are at the height of their plasticity when it comes to learning new things, and that on average they have more free time to obsess over their interests, it seems like we have a combination specifically tailored to create super talented kids that seek out more and more advice from as many experts as they can. They watch videos, read, practice, and train until they themselves are experts, learned from the greatest minds on the planet in their chosen interest.
Ja Morant didn’t have a superstar dad. He played AAU, but usually on teams in secondary gyms. He didn’t go to a major blue blood university with an elite basketball mind head coach to teach him the important things other star players would be taught coming through their programs. All Ja had was a loving and supportive family that pushed him as hard as he wanted to go, a natural abundance of athleticism, and the internet.
Is it just happenstance that Ja Morant’s game reminds people so much of so many different great point guards? Westbrook, Wall, Chris Paul, and Rose have all been used dozens of times in Ja comparisons. Is it coincidence all 4 of those players had their primes overlap with Ja’s formative years?
From whatever age his parents let him get online, he could look up highlight videos and film of any player he wanted to, whenever he wanted to, studying and breaking down all their movements to recreate them himself. He didn’t need to be taught, as much as he taught himself through pure motivation and drive.
And it’s not just Ja. International players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid have both talked about watching film of American players while they were learning the sport of basketball. Growing up across the Atlantic ocean they didn’t have access to all the coaches and leagues young players here have, but they could still watch the best of the best whenever they wanted to.
The first players to grow up this way are now into their NBA careers, and the results haven’t gone unnoticed even if the means aren’t talked about. Players like Luka, Trae, Tatum, Ja, Jaren, Mitchell, Murray, Jokic, and Giannis have all displayed skill far beyond their years when compared to other NBA superstars of the past.
But it’s not just the star players. John Konchar recently made local media laugh a bit when asked what player he compares himself to, and he said ‘Pat Connaughton.’ Almost every player that enters the league has been the best player on every team they’ve played on for maybe a decade and rookies will usually compare themselves to stars that they watched and idealized growing up. So for Konchar to compare himself to an NBA role player that’s still in the league and only a few years older than him seems silly.But if you go back and look at their college numbers and their physical profiles, you start to realize that John Konchar might just be the single most self actualized player in the entire league.
Both 6’5, 210 pound guys, played all 4 years at schools that aren’t traditional basketball powerhouses. Efficient scorers that score in the paint and from 3, incredible at rebounding for their size, above average passing for off ball players, very solid defense, and advanced numbers that blow most players out of the water, though against weaker competition than most NBA recruits. John Konchar was never heavily recruited and always played against weak competition, even if his own numbers suggested he was incredibly good. Is it possible that he went out and found the best possible player that looks and plays like him, and did everything he could to emulate that player knowing it would be his best shot of making the NBA? I don’t think it’s that far fetched.
If this trend continues for all the young players entering the NBA for the foreseeable future, it might mean that we are right on the edge of a new era in the sport, where the best players come into the league ready to lead within the first year or 2, and role players perfectly comfortable with their smaller roles on NBA rosters. Players that hit early growth spurts won’t necessarily be regulated to center positioning, and a lifetime of paint scoring and rebounding. If a taller player wants to work on their 3 point shot, independent of coaching or parenting they can now study videos of the best 3 point shooters ever and add that element to their game if they choose to. And the most motivated players, the ones that live and breathe basketball, they have limitless teachers and lessons to watch with as many hours as they can spare.
Flirting with the Future
A future where maybe basketball truly is positionless, where players all know how to box out when they're in the paint and a shot goes up, that can all shoot the 3 when open, drive the paint if they see a lane, and pass to the open man when the defense slips up. Of course smaller players will on average tend to have an easier time creating separation on the perimeter through their speed, and taller plays in the paint through their verticality, though both types of players may at least be able to do both well when the opportunity presents itself.
Some teams have already experimented with this concept to some extent, but right now the majority of the players in the league are not ready for that type of offense. For the majority of players over the age of 25, they grew up in a basketball culture that placed certain focus on their game based on their size. Most aren’t capable of playing all aspects of basketball at an NBA level because they didn’t get the practice in all the necessary skills as they developed.
The Houston Rockets might be the most aggressive team when it comes to molding the team to this mindset, with them refusing to sign players that aren’t capable of all those aspects of basketball. With a lack of players above 6’8 meeting all the criteria to be a truly good basketball player, this limited them to playing PJ Tucker, the largest such player on the roster, against other teams playing true 7 foot centers. It’s not that the Rockets overvalue smaller players, there just aren’t many players that are tall and capable of meeting those requirements, and the Rockets valued the concept of positionless basketball offense above getting players capable of defending elite frontcourts in a playoff setting.
Miami might be the best recent example of a team that has gone ‘full positionless’ when it comes to their roster. Pretty much every player on the roster in the recent playoffs was capable of making the right play on the offensive and defensive ends, and though they weren’t very efficient compared to other playoff team offenses, their ability to change roles on a moments notice got them all the way to the NBA finals against one of the strongest teams in NBA history.
If you go back even further, take a look at the playoff numbers of the 2014 Spurs that ended the Heat’s chances at a third title under the dominance of LeBron, Wade, and Bosh. An incredible balance of scoring, playmaking, and overall basketball talent from all the players to get significant minutes in the playoffs led to a sum greater than the whole, and a team that went down in history as playing ‘the beautiful game.’
But where does that leave the Grizzlies with their current roster? While other young star studded teams went after vets that they felt would compliment their current talent, the Grizzlies continued to go young and replaced the open spots on the roster with more players on their rookie deals, and resigning young players coming off their first contracts. Most of these young guys have more in common than you might expect.
To give you an idea of what kind of players the Grizzlies have focused on acquiring, here is every player that in their final year of college play had an above average assist, rebound, steal, and block rate when compared directly to players roughly their height and weight, a true shooting percentage that was above the NCAA average for that season, but did NOT lead the team in shot attempts. Listed by their season, along with their box plus minus rank of all college players from that season (minimum 500 minutes played) In other words, these are the players that were above average in almost every NBA counting stat we track to measure a players success:
Xavier Tillman (1st - 19/20)
Killian Tillie (5th - 19/20)
Desmond Bane (19th - 19/20)
Brandon Clarke (2nd - 18/19)
John Konchar (91st - 18/19)
Jontay Porter (42nd -17/18)
De'anthony Melton (102nd - 16/17)
Justise Winslow (33rd - 14/15)
Kyle Anderson (13th - 13/14)
Grayson Allen met all the requirements except rebound rate and block rate, but was still 62nd overall in box plus minus.
Ja and Dillon (yes, Dillon too) met all the requirements except they both led their respective teams in shot attempts in their final seasons. Ja was 29th overall in 2018-19, and Dillon was 42nd in 2016-17.
Jaren met all the requirements except an above average assist and rebound rate, and was 4th overall in 2017-18.
Notably, every player saw their assist rate and 3 point attempt rate increase dramatically each year they returned to play in college.
If you asked me, the FO is 100% bought into the idea of positionless basketball, and they've got a whole group of some of the best all around players to come out of college in the last 5 years with the proper skillset for it. I don't think the fact that so many players on the list played with each other in college is coincidental or something as simply as appeasing the star players by signing their friends.
The Grizzlies FO has gone out and gone after elite all around players, that played at some of the programs in the country with the most long term success. Coaches like coach K and Izzo are basketball geniuses that instill smart play into any player that comes through their program, and between 5 players on the roster we have over a decade of collective experience under those guys, on top of their own individual talent and expertise.
I think the team will hit the ground way faster than anyone expects. Don't be shocked if they blow past expectations this year. The Grizzlies as a whole seem very forward thinking when it comes to the ‘meta’ of the NBA, and their plays have all paid off so far. But where does that leave a player like Jonas Valanciunas?

https://throneroomsports.com/2020-nba-mock-draft/
I wrote up a mock draft and figured I would share it here. I know I've always loved reading mock drafts so I thought someone here might enjoy mocking my mock draft. Link to the website is above for a slightly cleaner format. I didn't include any trades in this mock even though I know there will be plenty of draft night trades.

1. Timberwolves - Anthony Edwards - G - Georgia. Unfortunately for the T-Wolves this is one of those years where there isn’t really a consensus clear cut number 1 overall player. That lowers the trade value of this pick which is what I would want to do here if I were the Timberwolves. I question how well LaMelo and D’Angelo Russell would operate together in the backcourt, so Edwards is my pick here. The Georgia product has elite athleticism, projects to be an above average defender, and a sky-high ceiling. He should add to the young core that the T-Wolves currently have.
2. Warriors - James Wiseman - C - Memphis. It’s incredible that a team with the talent of the Warriors are drafting this early but due to some serious bad injury luck, here they are. Again, if I was the one making the pick here, I would try like hell to trade back in the draft to try and acquire a player that fits the current team’s timeline better. However once again the lack of top end talent at the top of this draft makes moving back here difficult to obtain the value that the number 2 pick should warrant. LaMelo is redundant here with Steph and Klay so James Wiseman is the choice. With basically zero college tape on him this draft pick is all about upside. You can’t teach size and superior athleticism which Wiseman has in spades. He’ll provide the rim protection that the Warriors haven’t really had but now need due to Anthony Davis’ presence on the Lakers.
3. Hornets - LaMelo Ball - G - NBL. Charlotte takes the player many analysts consider the top player in the draft. The lanky point guard should immediately upgrade the lead guard spot on the Hornets. Unfortunately for the Hornets, word is that they covet James Wiseman who Golden State already selected. This is the first pick that I could realistically see being traded as no other big man is worthy of being a top 3 pick. Onyeka Okongwu is a name to watch here if a trade down can’t be achieved and the Hornets are set on adding to the front court.
4. Bulls - Deni Avdija - F - Maccabi Tel Aviv. I really wanted to predict Obi Toppin here to the Bulls. Billy Donovan always knew how to get the best out of undersized bigmen during his time at Florida. But Obi is more than that. He was clearly the best player in all of college basketball last season and would have pushed Dayton to the finals of March Madness had the event happened. But all the smoke on this pick is that the Bulls want the international prospect. Avdija is your typical lottery international big man. Great passing and floor vision with the ability to stretch the floor. He’ll pair nicely with Markkanen.
5. Cavaliers - Obi Toppin - F - Dayton. The NCAA tournament being cancelled turns into a stroke of luck for the Cavaliers as Obi Toppin falls to them at 5. If March Madness had actually happened and Obi’s Flyers had won the whole tournament (like I had expected them to do) then there’s no way he lasts past the top 3 picks. You can draft for potential all you want but when a player is as dominant as Obi was at Dayton you should draft the results that are backed up on the court. While he’s a bit undersized his game will transition nicely to the modern NBA. With Sexton and Garland manning the backcourt the addition of Toppin makes the Cavaliers’ future look bright for the first time since LeBron left (for the second time).
6. Hawks - Isaac Okoro - F - Auburn. I’ll preface this pick by saying that I’m almost assuredly wrong on this selection. Patrick Williams out of Florida St has been ascending in the past few weeks which has caused Okoro’s presumed value to drop. But holy hell is that a terrible take. Okoro has the potential to be the top player out of the class three years down the road. The knock on him is his shooting, but he walks into the league a plus defender with amazing athletic ability. He’ll be an immediate contributor even if his shot doesn’t improve. I think you’ll see a playoff team try to trade up into the lottery to select this guy. The kid had a great work ethic so a professional staff should be able to help him improve his shooting and eventually he’ll look like the steal of this draft.
7. Pistons - Patrick Williams - F - Florida State. I hate to bash on a team in a public forum, but the Pistons are not a good basketball team. When I first started to make this mock draft I had planned on having Detroit take the top available guard here. Killian Hayes and Tyrese Halliburton were and could still be names to look out for here. But Williams has had a rocket strapped to his back in recent weeks and has been flying up draft boards. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him go in the top 5 selections. So Detroit takes the best available player in Williams. And realistically the Pistons should try and trade Griffin to a star hungry team and get any additional draft picks they can acquire. They need them, badly.
8. Knicks - Killian Hayes - G - France. The Knickerbockers need playmakers and bringing in a facilitator like Hayes who can also shoot the ball is exactly what Spike Lee ordered. If Hayes had played a year at college in the States, he would easily be a top 5 if not top 3 pick in this draft. He projects to be a plus 3-point shooter and pairing him with RJ Barrett could be a lethal combination for many years.
9. Wizards - Onyeka Okongu - C - USC. The second-best big man in the draft goes to the Wizards at 9. I’ve seen other analysts compare him to Bam Adebayo, but they really need to tone that comparison down. Bam is on pace to be one of the top big men in all the world. Okongu has a strong work ethic and will need to improve his shooting from anywhere that’s not underneath the basket to come close to being a Bam like player. However he’s a problem for other teams defensively and has a knack for getting the loose ball which should help him be able to see early playing time for a Wizards team in need of help in the front court.
10. Suns - Devin Vassell - F - Florida State. Two players going in the top ten for Florida State. Impressive. It’s a good thing FSU is a basketball school considering how terrible they are at football. The AD down in Tallahassee can’t hire a football coach to save his life. Taggart was an absolute car wreck and Norvell appears to have plowed a semi into the pileup. Anyway, this is about the NBA. The Suns really traded a future first round pick for Chris Paul. Which messed my draft up like crazy. I was all set to predict a point guard to them too. Either Tyrese Halliburton, or Kira Lewis Jr. but now they should turn to their second need and add a wing. Vassell is all sorts of impressive and could be a deadly addition to the most entertaining team we all watched in the bubble go undefeated. The Suns could go ahead and still select a PG here to learn the ropes from one of the best of all time but I think the Suns are pushing hard for a playoff spot and need to add players who are ready to contribute immediately.
11. Spurs - Tyrese Haliburton - G - Iowa State. He has a funky shooting form that some NBA teams may want to try and revamp, but I don’t see it as an issue. He’s a do it all lead guard with premier basketball IQ and the ability to space the floor. Adding Haliburton to Murray would create a dangerous backcourt if both players live up to their potential. If the Spurs want to add a wing here, then Saddiq Bey could be a name to watch out for. But this shouldn’t be the only pick the Spurs make, they desperately need to trade Aldridge to a contender and push this rebuild forward.
12. Kings - Saddiq Bey - F - Villanova. Speaking of Saddiq Bey he comes off the board next to the Kings. I was originally planning on mocking a guard to the Kings as a potential replacement to Buddy Hield if he continues to pursue a trade request. But with the trade that brings Donte DiVincenzo (a strong young asset) I decided to add to the wing. But honestly this pick will be all about whose advanced stats the Kings analytics team values. They have decided to try and bring Moneyball to the NBA. So I wouldn’t be shocked to see a pick here that many experts consider to be a reach.
13. Pelicans - Kira Lewis Jr - G - Alabama. Well what a damn haul the Pelicans got out of the Buck for Jrue. And if by some circumstance Giannis does end up leaving the Bucks then those first rounders could be decent picks and not near the end of the first round. Lewis is a speedster with the ability to spread the floor with his 3-point shooting and should add to the great young core the Pelicans are building. They really need to add perimeter shooting to surround Zion to give him the spacing to be the explosive athlete that he is.
14. Celtics - Aleksej Pokusevski - F - Olympiacos. Honestly, I’ll be surprised if the Celtics actually select a player here. With the talent the team has, adding multiple first round picks shouldn’t be the priority. They should be trying to package those picks to move up in the draft or acquire a player to add to their depth. Bench scoring should be the main offseason acquisition to keep up with the revamped Bucks. Poku is a unique talent in that he’s a 7-footer who passes and shoots like a guard. In a couple years he could be a great talent in the league. But that doesn’t really fit the timeline of this team. I simply slotted my best player available to the Celtics here. Tyrell Terry could be another name to watch here because of his ability to contribute off the bench immediately.
15. Magic - Tyrese Maxey - G - Kentucky. This pick hurts me to make. Full disclosure I’ve been a fan of the Miami Heat my entire life and this is the guy I desperately wanted to see fall to 20. He has the potential to follow in the footsteps of other Kentucky guards who have excelled in the past few years. If his shooting picks up to the level that I think he’s capable of there’s a real chance he’s the best player out of this draft in a couple of years. Kentucky guards tend to really excel once reaching the league and this kid has all the potential in the world. He spent the majority of his year at Kentucky playing off the ball, but he has the ability to act as the lead guard. I hope I’m wrong on this pick and he somehow falls to 20, because I think he’s gonna be an All-Star in the not too distant future.
16. Rockets - Jalen Smith - C - Maryland. This team needs to acquire some size. Desperately. Smith fits with the culture of shooting as many threes as possible (I’m kidding here) with his sweet shooting shot. Most importantly he will provide the rim protection that the team really needs. The biggest question about the Rockets will be does one or both of the stars get traded. Personally I would try and offload Westbrook for whatever I could get and try like hell to get Harden to buy in and stop trying to leave. But who can blame him when the owner is approaching Dolan levels of ignorance.
17. Timberwolves - Aaron Nesmith - F - Vanderbilt. After adding Anthony Edwards earlier in the draft I have the T-Wolves selecting the best player available in Aaron Nesmith He’s a scorer with a sweet shot who can score from all over the floor. He has the potential to be the best 3-point shooter out of this draft class which is always desired in The League.
18. Mavericks - Desmond Bane - G - TCU. I want to clarify that I highly doubt the Mavericks actually keep this pick. I don’t even work for an NBA team and they contacted me about trying to trade out of this pick. The Mavs are wanting to make a playoff push to try and attract stars in free agency. So players who need developmental time I basically ignored and looked at players who could contribute immediately. Bane is a senior who has a highly polished game and if he were younger would be drafted much higher than he’s currently being mocked. He has a high basketball IQ and has the polish that most rookies don’t usually have until being in the league for a few years.
19. Nets - Isaiah Joe - G - Arkansas. This is probably my first reach that I’m predicting in this mock. I’ve seen a ton, mostly all, second round projections for Joe but that is a terrible take. As far as who the best shooter in this draft is right now it’s Joe and it’s not even close. He has one of the most flawless shots I’ve seen come into the league in years. The Nets very well could try and trade this pick for a veteran to help push a title run. But if they actually select a player here I see them pushing for a player with a higher ceiling than trying to draft a rookie who can play immediately, especially in a season with such a short offseason.
20. Heat - Malachi Flynn - G - San Diego State. I’m going to try my best to be unbiased here but as a Heat fan that may be hard. Flynn is a straight dog as a lead guard, which is exactly what the Heat need. Especially if Goran decides to leave as the Heat will only want to offer a one-year inflated contract to make a run at Giannis next summer. He was one of my favorite players in all of college last season and another player who would not have lasted this long if the NCAA tournament had actually been played. Now I’m losing my ability to be unbiased. The Heat are going to win the championship next year. If they had not had to deal with injuries, there is a real chance the LeLakers don’t win that series. This team over performed to what the talking heads thought they would, and I completely expect them to be back in The Finals next year, this time taking the trophy back to Miami.
21. 76ers - Cole Anthony - G - North Carolina. Another team who probably wants to try and trade out of this pick. But adding a point guard who is capable of playing off the ball isn’t the worst idea. He has slid in this draft due to just how horrible UNC was last year, not really anything with his game. He will definitely benefit from not being the focal point on the 76ers like he was last year at UNC.
22. Nuggets - Precious Achiuwa - F - Memphis. The Nuggets need to add some size to their front court and they have to be thrilled Achiuwa fell to them at 22. I love the team that the Nuggets have put together. MPJ has all the makings of a star. Jamal Murray is my pick to be the breakout star of the entire league, he just has that IT factor. Pair all of that with the Joker and this team should be at the top of the West for a long time. Adding a back to the basket PF here should help the team tremendously.
23. Jazz - RJ Hampton - G - New Zealand Breakers. Hampton is going to be a developmental pick and is being drafted this high due to how high his ceiling, but at this point in the draft players with high ceilings are solid draft picks. Based on area of need I would try and shoehorn a frontcourt player here, like Isaiah Stewart, but decided to go with the guy with the highest ceiling still available. Drafting in the 20’s is all about trying to find upside or potential bench depth. If RJ Hampton had went to college in the States, he very well could have been a lottery pick.
24. Pelicans - Josh Green - G - Arizona. Adding a 3 and D player who could be a solid rotational piece early in his career with the skill set to become a starter is a solid pick for the Pelicans. Adding him along with Kira Lewis Jr the Pelicans continue to acquire young assets for when they try to go all in on a trade for another star to pair with Zion. Personally, I think the Pelicans should try their hardest to pry Bradley Beal away from the Wizards. Pairing him with Zion would make a deadly duo for years to come.
25. Thunder - Tre Jones - G - Duke. I love this kid and think he’s being undervalued by many. The Thunder appear to be tearing down their roster and building through the draft. Shai Gilgeous Alexander is the real deal. Adding Tre Jones to the backcourt with him is a great way to replace Dennis Schroeder. Tre took a big step forward in his sophomore season at Duke. He’s a tenacious defender who improved his shooting from his freshman year.
26. Celtics - Leandro Bolmaro - G - Barcelona. At some point the Celtics are going to run out of roster spots for all of these draft picks so I decided to predict them with an international player they could stash overseas for a year or two. As I said before they should try and trade this pick away, but Danny Ainge typically tries to always fleece the opposing GM so it’s hard for other teams to trade with Boston. Bolmaro has a lot of work to do on his shooting but he can make every pass on the basketball court.
27. Knicks - Isaiah Stewart - F - Washington. Stewart is your traditional back to the basket big man with a knack for finding the rebound. He has a high motor (I think that’s my first time dropping that line) and an aggressive nature on the defensive end that leads to blocked shots. He’s the type of player that Tom Thibodeau loves to run until his knees wear out in three years.
28. Thunder - Xavier Tillman - F - Michigan State. Having added a point guard earlier in this mock it allows the Thunder to bring a seasoned big man into the fold. Tillman projects as a plus defender with the ability to attack the basket. The Thunder are going young and having a guy who’s been a leader of his college team for a couple years could really help the Thunder along with their rebuild.
29. Raptors - Nico Mannion - G - Arizona. I love this kid. When he had just committed to Arizona as a recruit, I figured I would be mocking him as a guaranteed lottery pick. But Arizona underperformed and Mannion didn’t get his chance to shine in the NCAA Tournament. Fred VanVleet is an unrestricted free agent looking to secure his bag and Kyle Lowery isn’t a spring chicken anymore so the Raptors attempt to lock down their long term lead guard here.
30. Celtics - Mason Jones - G - Arkansas. I don’t even care about this pick. I’m sick and tired of predicting Celtics picks at this point. THEY SHOULD TRADE THIS PICK. Yes, I’m also aware that this is a reach and there’s practically no chance Mason is a first round draft choice. But dammit this kid is a baller. He’s one of the best shooters in the draft and is an explosive scorer. I just wanted to bring a little attention to a player who’s gonna stick in the league for a long time. Realistically Theo Maledon would have been my pick here if I wasn’t so tired of mocking players to the Celtics. And yes, that would have been my third international player I predicted the Celtics to draft. Draft and stash for the win baby.
