Dang, Jackson-Davis keep falling. Tough era to be a prototype PF of yesteryear.

Gimme a run down please
On a scale of Zero to Justin James where does he rank?
Section 101
All-Star
He may go undrafted and have a deal lined up.

high-IQ is the first trait we can assign to Monte's style, I think.

Wonder if his agent is just asking teams to pass on him so he can choose his destination as a UFA at this point.

At this rate, he's going undrafted.
Maybe the lack of a shot really is that much of a red flag to teams.

If I'm TJD's agent I'm trying to get him to Denver or Sacramento. that's for sure.

Well, overall a pretty decent draft IMO. Now don't blow your space on garbage Monte. No Vlade level we didn't get option 1A so lets overpay 3B-4D.

he is a tweener. The tweener sits between the center and PF/Wing. Horrible spot to be.

Tarik Biberovic? We are officially officially in the agents won't let you draft their dude portion of the draft.

Their track record these last few years in the draft hasn't exactly been stellar.

If Slawson's skillset translates beyond the small college level, he's a major find. If they don't, I'd take TJD.
Ok I was hyped on TJD, but Slawson has a good archetype.
Small-school guy, but fits that mold of a super super versatile 3/4 wing defender. 6'7 but with a 6'11 wingspan. He gets after you defensively and will give you just a pinch of shot-blocking. Also adds another wing passer with 18.3%, 23.3%,19.9% Ast rates in his last 3 college seasons. His ability to create gives him some differentiation offensively from the typical scrub 3/4 wing types that flame out every year. He's got a comfort level with the ball in his hands for sure.
Big knock are the small-school, he's going to be 24 when the season starts. But if everything broke right for him, his archetype absolutely can find NBA minutes. Maybe like a Ja'Sean Tate?
Ugh, TJD was the pick imo. Just an absolute college dominator at a huge position of need that we now need to go spend on in FA.

Surely, Wiseman, Kuminga, Moody, Nico Mannion, Patrick Baldwin Jr., and Jacob Evans all failing to become NBA players is entirely Bob Meyers fault.

We'll see it soon enough. Once training camp and summer league start, we'll see if he's ready to be in the rotation. Seems like if he is indeed serviceable, he's NBA-ready physically, right?
I'm sure a trade was lined up beforehand, but man, would it have been bad (here) if Keegan's brother was drafted just to be traded.
