[QUOTE="Mainstreet, post: 3592343, member: 1040"... Last season I tried to do threads beyond the top players in the draft although I wished there had been more interest.
I remember one of those threads pertained to Markkanen who was drafted 7th and we know how that turned out. He may be a young star in the making. Can't remember how far down I went, but I did one on Zach Collins who was drafted 10th.[/QUOTE]
We didn't do threads on the individuals but we covered some players, mainly bigs, who might be around for our second pick. Not many that we hoped would be available were. McD came up with Davon Reed, who we never mentioned and I think he'll prove to be a very fine pick. Heck, I have pretty high hopes for Alec Peters.
I talked up John Collins as a big who might fall - no 3pt range but a sneaky good scorer around the paint. In fact, I hoped we might snare a pick around 20 to get him. Atlanta took him at 19 and he's playing 20 min/gm and doing extremely well scoring, rebounding and blocking shots. If he keeps it up he'll be on the all-rookie team. He's outperforming Markkenen across the board(3pt shooting excepted, of course), for example.
Edit: Sorry for going off topic... I'm blaming Mainstreet!
