Scouting Report. 15. player. Shooting Guard. Texas Tech. Zhaire Smith. 142. Pick Analysis
Give John Wall some help! It pains me to watch poor wall have to work with the who’s who of former Suns castaways. I don’t know if Smith can actually play, but I’m pretty sure that he can run and dunk. That alone would be a nice fit when Beal and Porter go to the bench.
I think Mitchell Robinson would be an interesting fit here as a Gortat replacement. SGA might be a really fun option if the Wizards are really to move on from Wall.
Miles Bridges. 14. player. 73. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Small Forward. Michigan State
Miles Bridges is a clear top ten pick, but his fit might allow him to slide down. If he makes it to Denver I would hate to be the team that has to muscle up against a lineup of the Joker, Millsap, and Bridges. I get bruised just thinking about it.
If Kevin Knox or Robert Williams are here, they might be good Millsap replacements.
Shooting Guard. Miami. Lonnie Walker IV. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 77. 13
Lonnie is this years potential hidden gym. He has a ridiculously bouncy game to compliment a nice shooting stroke from deep. The 13th overall pick has been a bit of a blessed spot of late and Lonnie could keep the run going.
Zhaire Smith and SGA are two other options at guard who would fit well into the Clippers potential rebuild.
