Best C option in the draft…

Zach Edey

There's actually a lot of cetners that are going to be available around that 20th pick.


Guys that aren't going in the top 10:
Zach Edey Purdue Senior 7'3" 306lb
Kel'el Ware Indiana Sophmore 7' 210lb
Yves Missi Baylor Freshman 7' 235lb
Oso Ighodaro Marquette Senior 6'11" 235lb
Tyler Smith G-League 6'11" 225lb
Filipowski Duke Sophmore 7' 230lb
Daron Holmes Dayton Junior 6'10" 230lb


I would not be interested in any freshman, or anyone from the G-League.
Edey and Ware are unlikely to be close to where we pick.


I like Holmes and he's projected in the 20's.

Shot blocking is his best defensive skill. He’s agile in small spaces and perceptive; he keeps his head on a swivel and hustles for second and third efforts on possessions. He also can step out as a disruptive perimeter defender who slides his feet with his arms spread wide.

Intelligent player who embraces his role as a screener, cutter, and rim runner. He always boxes out. After defensive stops he’ll instantly sprint up the floor and have his hands up to catch passes. And if he doesn't receive the ball, he doesn't mope.

His 3-point percentage is way up. He shot 26.9 percent over his first two seasons, but he’s at 43.6 percent this year on quadruple the attempts per game. His form looks a tad quicker and smoother than the elongated release he used in previous years.

Excellent pick-and-roll finisher who sets strong screens at the proper angles and has great timing on his rolls to the rim. He also has soft hands that allow him to catch tough passes and the athleticism to finish powerful dunks.

Drafting a center may seem tempting, but it may carry the highest risk of a bust.

Griff not taking a big in the draft two years ago gets more inexcusable by the day.
