Since the odds of Boston picking up a top five pick in June are remote, I figured it’s time to start a thread for next year’s draft. I’m not going to mention the possible high school direct entries since that supposed change hasn’t come yet.
I know that most people like to hate on next year’s pool, I’m a little higher on it than most. I like the big four from next year, even Zion Williamson. He’s more or less entering the league at the right time, at the time when the positions have become Bigs, Big Wings, Wings, and Lead Guards. If he can even develop as a spot up shooter from three he’s going to be a load for teams to defend.
Barrett is going to be the best of the pool, but absent Bol Bol ramping up his game to a new level he won’t be there for Boston. Bol is the prototype stretch 5 of the modern NBA.
Cam Reddish is my personal favorite from next year’s pool. Reminds me of Jayson Tatum, sneaky athletic, very heady, very long, and can play defense. I like him here as it opens up using Brown as the basis for a deal for someone like Davis.
Here’s a good video breakdown of Cam Reddish.
Here we have another shooting guard that I like, Keldon Johnson. Reminds me a little of Ray Allen, more fluid than overly athletic, but certainly has a good drive game. And the shooting form is really good.
