Solid B.
Jaylen is a risky pick but he has elite athleticism. If he figures out his shot he's a star wing player in this league. And the Association doesn't have a lot of star wing players.
Yabusele. I got blindsided by this pick. Thought we'd take him in round 2 if we did with one of our many 2nd round picks. At second look, physically he is a man-beast. Very strong, ripped, moves well for his size. Can score inside and outside. Will be stashed.
Zizic. Has excellent size and length at 6'11 254 lbs. Great rebounder. Scored well on the inside in the Adriatic league. Might be a stash. Doesn't exhibit an outside game at this point.
D-Jax and Bentil are great 2nd round pickups.
Demetrius Jackson in particular was pegged as a first round talent. Fast, good handle, willing passer. Carried Notre Dame at times, so I like his leadership. PG is not a need but the value is too good to pass up.
Bentil is a scoring machine. Inside, outside, what have you. Drew over 7 FTAs per game.
Put up 21+ ppg for providence in his sophomore year while bumping up his percentages across the board -- 43.6->46.2 2p% 30->32.9 3p% 69.5->78.2% FT. If he keeps improving at that rate he is going to be a keeper.
Really like our 2nd round picks this year.
So, no fireworks, but a lot of solid prospects, with one potential star player in JB, and others who could snag rotation or even starting roles on our team if they blossom.
Now the story turns to free agency. Can Danny and Brad woo some free agent stars to don the Celtic green?
