I know this is supposed to be a weak draft class but I am the only one that wonder if we should keep LA pick for 2024 instead of deferring it to 2025 ?
I actually like the 24 class for the pels. There's plenty of prospects with both upside and ability to fit nicely in position of need.
The pels could go for the upside pick with the Lakers pick and the safer option with theirs or the other way around depending on who's left.
If you look for a playmaking guard, to play both on and off the ball (similar to current McCollum's diet), with ability to shoot the 3:
Upside picks : Shepard/Collier/Dillingham/Carrington
Safer picks : Kolek/T.Alexander/A.Mitchell/McCain
If you look for a big with mobility, shot blocking and ability to spread the floor :
Upside picks : Ware/Chomche
Safer picks : Filipowski/D.Holmes/PJ Hall/R.Kalkbrenner
I think there's real value in this draft especially in the late first early second.
