Mathurin is a good athlete, and good shooter and fills an immediate need. He also seems like his style of play will fit into the NBA.
i'm torn on Dyson. Defensively he's better than Mathurin, so if that's the coaching staff's main area of concern, they might want to go with him. It's his offensive game that concerns me. There are things he does fairly poorly, and I'm even concerned with how some of his positive offensive traits will translate into NBA level competition. I think he's too deliberate on offense for the ADD NBA game. The hard part about passing on Dyson is his length and lateral movement both of which are pretty special for a guard, even in the NBA.
If we're planning on making some more significant moves, especially if those moves deal with moving on from Jaxson, then I think I draft Sochan. Personally, I don't want Dieng, I think he's too soft. Sochan is the opposite of soft, his game is going to translate very well to NBA play. He's hyper active and very physical, and he has a real good defensive iq. In my opinion these defensive traits are more important in the NBA than what even Dyson brings to the table with his length and laterla movement. If you can't navigate through the physical play in the NBA you're going to be a step behind on defense no matter you're other traits. My concern with Sochan is his lack of elite level athleticism. How is that going to hinder his defensive effectiveness with NBA level play. Offensively, while his shooting is subpar, I think there is definite potential there. He has also shown some pretty good touch on fadeaway jumpers in the lane, something that translates well with NBA play.
