To be honest I don’t know what I feel about Okoro. So perhaps maybe hearing your thoughts will help

I personally see him as a bigger Tony Allen with better instincts offensively. He’s NOT a good shooter but he’s got elite defensive ability and is a good finisher.

I’ll just simply disagree with that.

They definitely have some similarities as prospects.

Do feel that Okoro has notably more polish and feel on both ends though. But if you don't believe in the jump shot developing I can see somebody questioning how much that really matters offensively.
 
My first pick is Patrick Williams that can play small forward this kid has great upside also very good playmaker. 2nd round Tillie I really like this kid can backup Zach. Another good passer that stretch the floor. Both players decent on the defense side. I know some people wants backup point guard that position I rather get a veteran for that spot.

I remember Kersey his rookie year and he got some time he was very active down low and on the break, a bit out of control at times, you could see his motor was high speed.
Littles game at times last year reminded me of a young #25.

I loved Jerome, but he was "a bit out of control" EVERY game he played! Still loved that reckless abandon!

Having done some YouTube watching, I'm firmly on the SADDIQ BEY bandwagon! So now I can say I've advocated drafting a Villanova player THREE YEARS STRAIGHT! (Jalen Brunson in 2018, Eric Paschal in 2019 and now Bey)

I am curious to hear all of your guys thought on this. Who’s your favorite point guard out of this draft? And are there other point guards you wouldn’t mind getting?

If you consider them PG's I currently have Tyrese Haliburton, Theo Maledon, and Killian Hayes in that order.

Tyrese Halliburton. This may sound like faint praise, but I see him as another Shaun Livingston (the Warriors version).
Killian Hayes seems promising, but then, so did Mudiay and Ntilikina. For our second-rounder, I'd certainly give Rokas Jokubaitis a look.

Nico's my favorite. Think he's the smartest and I like his versatility offensively. Not the highest upside guy, but he's the one I trust the most to develop into a starting point guard on a good team. Definitely context dependent though.

For us, pretty sure the FO is still committed to Ant long term--I still have a lot of hope for him as well--so don't think point guard is really much of a need. But if the plan is to use Ant as a piece to make a win now trade or they've lost some faith in him, I wouldn't mind grabbing either Malachi Flynn or Cassius Winston in the second round.

Malachi is probably safer. Lower turnover rate and better defensively. But I think Cassius is more talented. You're just more worried about him translating athletically.

Sure, why not? We get a player at #14 in a weak draft and his comparison is Kawhi Leonard. We are very lucky!

Seriously! He can become the best player out of this draft. While I do love the Kawhi Leonard comparison, I’ve also seen OG Anunoby comparison which would also be awesome. His defensive game should become one of the best simply because of his ability to guard the perimeter and the interior. His 84% free throw shooting suggests that he does have a good form. He just probably need more confidence in it when shooting 3s. If I was the blazers, I would pick him. He’s my favorite prospect

Personal favorite? Malachi Flynn. Have seen him in person multiple times. Is already efficient in the pick and roll. Competes defensively. Smart. Can probably step into that backup PG role as a rookie imo. Lack of sexy measurables will gift him to a smart team. Could be another vanvleet, but I also think he’s got some dame like traits. If Portland could get him in the second it would be a robbery.

Much like GTjr. I think Pritchard will be a steal in the second round. I doubt anyone would outwork him and you can see he is very smart.
The Kid from Arizona (name escapes me) is another one that will be good.

Even though I am a huge beavers fan and hate the ducks more than you can imagine, I have to admit that I respect Pritchard. He really does outwork everyone. He has a winning attitude. Everywhere he does he win. He may not be the best athlete but he sure can play ball. I can see him being a Steve Blake/Jalen Brunson type guard

Oh I can imagine. Believe me.

Since y’all are beavers fan what do you think of Wayne tinkle? I personally think we should fire him and go after Brandon Roy or Lamar Hurd even

He definitely could have done worse. I'm not opposed to a new coach though. Had high hopes for him, but it might be time to move on. As far as replacements that's tough. I don't have an opinion there.

Tinkle sucks. I would love Brandon Roy as our coach. I doubt he would stay long though.

Yeah I guess that’s true. Once he would start winning here Washington will probably come calling for him. I would love for us to get a coach who have been in their glory days like Coach Smith and Coach Canham in their respective programs but there really isn’t any we could get in the basketball program. So we will have to look for someone else who has come from a proven winning program.

I was thinking about Brunson and Pritchard is a tuff kid out there but will be have the quickness to keep up with opponents point guards.
