The chaos of this draft is just beginning

In this week's NBA 2019 simulation project, we separate the agreement between Brooklyn and Atlanta and continue to give the latest scouting notes.

We also make fun of another trade that seems extremely likely by the night of the draft between Atlanta and Cleveland.

Until the end:

One of the best pairings between the team and the player in this draft, as Fernando's size and mobility, thanks to his ability to roll around the basket associated with his ability to space the ground, make him a possible substitute for Brook Lopez with the Bucks.

With two choices in this draft thanks to the deal with Kawhi Leonard, the Spurs can afford to wait for the torn ACL by Okeke, who will likely be flying all of his rookie season. On his return, San Antonio will have a skilled forward to play a leading role alongside his young and dynamic backcourt.

An underestimated subplot of the Warriors' lack of depth is that none of their teammates during the dynasty, other than Kevon Looney, failed, even with the willingness of coach Steve Kerr to go to bottom of the benches regularly. Windler is more willing to contribute now than generic characters like Jordan Bell or Jacob Evans, which they have already written.

Brooklyn no longer has two choices in this repechage, but still has the opportunity to hit a circuit with one of the most interesting hopes of the repechage at Claxton, a rare three-dimensional playmaker with a size sufficient to play the two big players from the NBA. .

Cleveland will probably look to get out of this project with several young players (more on that later), so if 2019-2020 is a development season for John Beilein and his team, Thybulle is the type of guy you take risks with. sure.

Kabengele's future in the NBA is dark if his shot does not arrive, but Portland must continue to look for tall, modern men.

If Ty Jerome is not available for Philadelphia here, the focus is on depth, especially on young players who can defend themselves immediately. Sleeping will not really be a shooter or a playmaker early, but should be able to defend right away at 1-3.

We saw the February 11 game at Chapel Hill between Virginia and UNC. Here are our notes on Jerome's performance:

• The functional force around the basket mitigates the negative impact of its short stature. He can absorb the contact at the edge and his touch allows him to finish well with both hands.
• Unlike his teammate Kyle Guy, the Cavaliers asked Jerome to be shortened in front of the Pindown screens, which placed him around the elbow to play or restore the offensive. He was incredibly patient and comfortable with Virginia's slow system.
• Must rely on the footwork and tricks to get by the players on the perimeter. This includes quick counterfeits, pivots, etc. Jerome could not pass Garrison Brooks, Tar Heel's big man, in an isolated ground crunch after a change.

Jerome will not be the most dynamic player, and comparisons with Malcolm Brogdon due to the connection with Virginia give Jerome's athleticism and length too much credit. However, against Donovan Mitchell, in a good defense team, Jerome's role will be simple and he can excel.

We do not know at all where Bitadze will land because, as always, it is difficult to say who really spent the time to find it in France this year. Yet, with Al Horford's potential start this year or next year, the Celtics will need a new, versatile big man to grow with their young players.

Our scouting notes for Johnson after this home loss to Virginia on February 11:

• Everyone, from Kyle Guy to Mamadi Diakite to De'Andre Hunter, showed his versatility and underestimated athleticism. Cleverly plays defense, fills the hole to disrupt Virginia's loaded screen system and turns to protect the rim repeatedly.
• Extraordinary feeling for his own balance and space on the jump shots. Johnson decides, in a split second, as the best shooters in the NBA, whether he can shoot and advance in the training or where he puts the ball back immediately after the restart.
• In the half-court, a buzz resembles that of Klay Thompson, a poor man, he filters for others and walks the space when there is an opening.
• Large transition marker with intuitive length and direction of escape.

The Celtics, with three first-round picks, can afford to take a chance on Porter Jr. and develop it behind their older players.

Just put all the youth and athletics in San Antonio – flip it over. We do not even know what a typical spike looks like.

Trust Nate McMillan to transform talented prospects with questionable decision-making into good NBA players.

If Atlanta keeps that choice, we expect them to take a risk. Bol represents a potentially strong position next to John Collins, and the Hawks will have less chance to progress if he is one of the few players in the top 40 with whom they leave on June 20th.

If Orlando really wants to give Markelle Fultz a chance, give him the floor and give him other leaders to carry the charge. The addition of Tyler Herro is just too logical if that's what the Magic game wants.

Pistons fans are probably tired of being informed of the promise of versatile shooters in the Luke Kennard, Svi Mykhailiuk and Khyri Thomas draft in recent years, but Alexander Walker's size and passability distinguish him.
