Who's your favorite second rounder? ('16, '17)

[loco_91]

My vote is for Kadeem Allen, who seems to have the best NBA fit as a 3+D PG. He is an excellent on-ball defender with very quick feet, a high motor, and a 6'9 wingspan. Offensively, he offers little on-ball, but off-ball he should be able to keep defenses honest (career .400 3p% and .725 FT%), and he's able to keep the ball moving in the flow of the offense (career 4.8 AST, 2.8 TOV/40). It's easy to imagine him as a Mario Chalmers type that fits really well on a team loaded with wing scorers. My second choice would be Ojeleye, who seems to have the "3" but not the "D."

Lakers traded for Bryant. Celtics drafted a Bird. Let the battle commence! 

My vote is for Semi Ojeleye though.

This is Semi-obvious

I'll reserve judgement until one of them plays at least one minute in the NBA.  We have no idea who will even make the team.

Ah but you see, that's why it's an interesting poll. It shouldn't be too easy. 

By the way, Demetrius Jackson has one minute of NBA experience, so there's that.

My vote is for Jesusemilore!

Semi seems to have way more potential as a 3 and D player than Allen. I think he could be a solid role player.

You deserve a TP for that one...and I agree.

[Csfan1984]

Semi he fits the bench need if team loses Jerekbo and KO and makes no FA splashes. Based on current roster I am assuming our rotation is going to be following

IT/ Smart/ Rozier
AB/ Brown
Crowder/ Tatum
Horford/ Semi
Zeller/Zizic

[Ilikesports17]

Probably have to go semi.

I'm not a Nader believer and Demetrius hasn't given any reason to believe he belongs in the NBA.

I love Kadeem Allen, but ojele seems the much better player.

I'd be ecstatic if Kadeem Allen turned into a role player.

Touche!  Btw, who's Demetrius Jackson

Kadeem is almost 24.5 years old. That is pretty darn old. I guess he might be able to pair with IT, defending the opposing guard and standing in the corner on offense. Buteven that would be a steal.

I voted Semi, but I'm not all that excited about the pick. I was a big fan of Cam Oliver, and he was on the board (went undrafted) and fit all of our needs. With that said, Semi's explosiveness around the hoop is something that we could use more of despite his shortcomings. I've seen some of the comparisons being tossed around here (e.g., Green and Barkley), but Semi doesn't strike me as outstanding. He's not a strong defender, a poor rebounder (for a PF), and doesn't have a real offensive game; at his point he has an NBA body, powerful straight-line drives, and a set jumper out to the college 3. He's got some stuff we can work with.

I'm casting my vote for Kadeem for that reason. As of now, all he has to do is beat out Jackson. Jackson's not a defensive stopper.
On the other hand, Jackson can run the offense until IT gets healthy. So, it's a toss up.

Not getting my hopes up for Semi Ojeleye. He's too short to play power forward. Hopefully, he can prove me wrong.  Can't understand why Danny keeps drafting these undersized players. 

Last year he went with Yabusele. The year before it was Jordan. In order to compete in the NBA today you most often have to be a minimum of 6'9" to play the 4. Even if he makes the team, I can't see him making much of an impact against height.

I was hoping for Oliver too. Would have been great to get Oliver and Semi. I don't mind Bird pick. Allen doesn't make sense to me.
