Length!!!!

I want to draft length! Players at least 6'6 and 210 pounds for the 3.
I see a lot of mocks giving us Aaron Nesmith and I like him. He is 6' 6", 213 lbs so he fits my model and shoots the 3.
I like Saddiq Bey he is 6' 8", 216 lbs and he is out of Villanova so can D up and shoots 40% from 3.

Both of those players are guys whose sole skill is shooting.

Shooting is important, but it's not the only important thing. Don't draft people with zero auxiliary skills.

The CP3 era taught me to stay away from the specialists especially on the wings. First and foremost I want complete basketball players. No guys that can't handle, play zero defense, have some awkward looking shot, and cannot pass. This is another reason l like Ingram so much. Once he adds another 15-20 lbs he'll easily be a top 10 player. Then any player with explosive physical ability on top of that (Kira L) and im sold.

I do like Nesmith because he can already shoot lights out guarded or unguarded, plus shows good potential to put it on the floor. However, if length is what you want, then he is a about average for the 2, and a bit undersized for the 3.

ive always wanted to emulate the 2nd pistons championship squad in the sense of how fast and long they both were in Tashawn Prince and Rip Hamilton

seemingly, Boston is rolling like that now and their future is beyond bright.


Cant my boy Brandon Ingram play SG?

Demps tried it and it failed miserably.

We never really knew since most of his teams were beset by injury. Even that 1st playoff year was an injured squad. Poor Quincy Pondexter never came back healthy again.

But todays NBA your 3 need to play the 4 sometime. i really like Nesmith.

IMO we have arguably some of the best and most versatile length in the NBA. You could always use more but I think we are in pretty good shape in this area.
