The possiblities in this draft boggle
my mind. Very fascinating stuff in the sense it's extremely hard to predict......Unfortunately I can't routinely check out Chad Ford's mocks because I'd love to use 3 draft sites combined as opposed to just nbadraftnet and draftexpress.
So, some intriguing player comparisons: Babbit verses Hawyard. nbadraftnet has Babbit picked 8th
and Hayward 14th, while draftexpress has hayward 15th and Babbit 17th. And they both have ended up overlapping Paul George and Xavier Henry. Babbit detroyed Hayward in meausurements, athleticism and shooting, but I guess one site feels Hayward is simply a better player, or possibly concerened with Babbit being a tweener? My question for you is the following: If Babbit, Hayward, Xavier Henry and Paul George were all available at 19th...who would you pick and in what order would you rank them? Here's my choices:
1. Paul George
2. Xavier Henry
3. Babbit
4. Hayward
Reasoning: It's Rondo's team. We don't need super ball handlers. Specialists are okay. Paul George being a specialist shooter and defender. Henry over Babbit due to perfect size for his position, that being wing. Babbit over Hayward for his strength and shooting...I'd like to see him at the power forward spot, but he is a tiny bit small for it. Hayward....if he ends up the best of the lot, it's going to be due to off-the-chart intangibles.....(brilliant passing for example, head in the game at all times, that kind of thing)
Hayward takes us close to Damion James territory on draftexpress, and I'd take James over Hayward so he can provide some of what the Celtics didn't have in a recent game I watched.....(in other words I don't know enough about Hayward to pull the trigger)
Draftexpress has finally agreed with nbadraftnet that Stanley Robinson is a second round....still wondering what he did wrong.....he's bring some great stuff to some lucky team in the early second round.....if he doesn't go in first.....no idea where Chad Ford has him....
Okay please answer (as of June 19) your choice between the above 4 wings. And point any other aspects of the draft that seem strange, unpredictable, or unfathomable.....
