Obviously, it’s still very early in their careers and this could change BUT for fun, how do you think a Re-draft would go?
My list:
- Pistons - Scottie Barnes
- Rockets - Evan Mobley
- Cavaliers - Franz Wagner
- Raptors - Cade Cunningham
- Magic - Alperen Segun
- Thunder - Trey Murphy
- Warriors - Josh Giddey
- Magic - Jalen Green
- Pelicans - Herbert Jones
- Hornets - Austin Reaves
I’d love to hear everyone’s input, what do you think the trajectory of these players is and what would your list look like?
The top 5 you have listed is interchangable. Scottie and Sengun have very hot starts to the season and could make an argument for number 1 and 2 if they continue playing like how they are but if it was last year they not in contension for the top.
I find it hard for Cade to be going that high over Green.
Jalen Johnson and Cam Thomas in the top 10
I think Jalen Johnson would have to go top 10, Magic maybe would have grabbed him in this redraft instead of Jalen Green.
The only player I can accept ahead of sengun is Barnes everyone else is not on that level. Not going to talk about Jalen because this sub hates him
- Cade
- Mobley
- Scottie
- Alpie
- Franz
- Giddey
- Green
- Murph
- Herb Jones
- Jalen Johnson
Don’t think this is too far off. If Sengun maintains this level for the full year, I can see him @ 2 or 3.
2021 draft was kinda stacked with starter level players
I’m not as high on Mobley as most are. Hes clearly a great defensive player but a big part of his appeal was his potential to become a great offensive player too. I haven’t seen enough from him to be convinced he will continue to develop on that side of the ball.
I think I gotta go with guys like Scottie and Franz who are very good interchangeable defenders and 3 level offensive players as my top 2. Barnes gets the nod because of his hot start to the year. But don’t tell Raptors fans I said that because they will spam the sub like they did in 2021
brother, I understand that we’re a smaller market, but how do you just skip us completely???
I’m a lot lower on Giddey than you are evidently. He’s got the physical tools, and his playmaking is really good, but he’s such a lacking finisher/shooter that he’s a net offensive negative for a team with a ton of offensive talent like OKC.
On potential I could see a case for him being drafted this high in a redraft, but to this point, he hasn’t been as good as the box score suggests.
Sengun 3 overall for me easily, and maybe even 2 overall
- Franz Wagner
- Josh Giddey
- Alperen Sengun
- Austin Reaves
- Corey Kispert
- Santi Aldama
- Joe Wieskamp
- Luka Garza
- Mac McClung
- Sam Hauser
The most overrated draft class in recent history. The hype this class has was ridiculous.
