NBA Draft Big Board 1.0: Re-thinking the top five of the 2021 Draft
Detroit Pistons Big Board 1.0: Prospects 24-23
This year’s draft is going to be a good test for he G-League experiment, as there are several guys who will be first round picks who skipped college and went straight to the pros.
Will playing against tougher competition in an overall less competitive league be a benefit? We shall see.
Nix has a similar skillset to Killian Hayes in that he is a pass-first guard with size who doesn’t shoot the ball well but can rebound and defend.
You’ll notice a theme here, as a lot of the guys on this list are big shooting guards who can defend.
Shannon Jr. has good size for the position and projects as a guy who will be able to defend multiple spots in the NBA.
He is a fairly average shooter and will probably have to improve in that area to make an impact right away, but he can defend and rebound already.
