The last youngster with crazy good measureless but as many question marks must be Darius miles
Drummond could compete against older players. Hezonja was considered an elite prospects since he was 16 demonstrating the ability to be the best player on the floor against older competition which makes him a likely top 5 pick. Giannis hasn't been in a position to demonstrate an equal or greater skill set to his peers. He's an unknown.
Adetokumbo reportedly has a promise in the late first round:

Since the Cavs and Jazz were two teams that reportedly saw him overseas, I'm intrigued by the news.
I've heard Boston is interested and Danny Ainge has a history of making promises. The Celtics pick 16th in round 1.
That would be a smart move by ainge. No need to take up minutes while they still have the vets, but might pay off big time in a few years during a rebuild
I think Schroeder might end up being the best point in the draft, great measurables and has played at a high level in big events
And you know what they say about large hands. He's going to be very popular with the ladies.
The player comparisons in this thread are TERRIBLE!!!!
I watch this kid and I dont see anything near Kevin Durant. Durant is a SUPERSTAR level NBA player with endless range as a shooter and a feel for the game that is probably only second to Lebron.
With that being said, Kevin Durant is nowhere near the raw athlete that this kid is. This kid is something FREAKISH as an athlete out there. This kid is palming the ball left or right and slamming it home.
And is he anything near Lamar Odom? No not in any way shape or form. Lamar Odom is thick, has point guard skills, and is nowhere near the athlete that this kid is.
No I would say that this guy looks like a freakish version of an Andre Igoudala if he were to pan out. He has the crazy athleticism, decent enough handle, the dribble drive with serious hops, and the ability to be an elite level wing defender.
He is definitely an intriguing talent but who knows what his true ability to put on weight is and who knows what kind of confidence he'll have as NBA player.
There are too many question marks to take him top 5, just too many. And I know the upside is something spectacular, but you take a kid like this 10-20 in the 1st round.
Next Lillard?
Short Greek guys. The Centers are probably 5'10 and stocky.
My preference if he's there with the 19th pick is Giannis Adetokoubo. Guy might have the highest ceiling in this draft.
