One of my favorite skillsets from this draft class is Henri Veesaar as pick-and-roll partner... here's why⤵️

Veesaar is an elite roll man because he is both an effective scorer and playmaker, giving his projected NBA role more malleability.

Much of my optimism for Veesaar stems from my hope he can survive as a stretch-4, otherwise he runs the risk of being stranded in tweener purgatory, to slow to be a 4 but not strong enough to be a 5, despite being a true seven footer.

Veesaar's ability to score and facilitate from the middle of the floor opens up opportunities to be paired with a more traditional 5, not to mention Veesaar can legitimately stretch the floor too.

A 7-footer with short roll passing, who shot 42% from three while being both 94th percentile as a pick-and-pop scorer and 98th percentile in high-low actions, points to extremely intriguing role flexibility for Veesaar as a potential stretch-4, where his connectivity + size should be coveted.

His efficiency across these play types highlights an impressive overlap of perimeter and interior scoring. Paired with elite off-ball scoring, connective passing, and strong turnover suppression (13.7 TO%) I’m very confident that Veesaar can easily return value as a late first-round pick in the right system.

The LA Clippers have had discussions about trading down from the No. 5 pick while remaining set on making an early draft selection this year, per @Sam_Vecenie.

The first 5 times you said this saga was annoying was probably enough…

It’s not that inconveniencing. I don’t buy the toll it’s taking on you.

Unless you’ve been on the front lines this entire time

Ok I’m done

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@DatManRJ @hiimdabby But yea man… there’s a reason i don’t want a small guard next to already “slimmer” Ryan Rollins. If you are serious about mimicking successful league wide trends… your back court needs some punch.

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@DatManRJ @hiimdabby 100%. It’s kinda why I’ve become warmer on Acuff. It matters. And line burries

Deron Williams was another one. Just strong and physical. And i think we all watched the postseason. That plays. It tracks. Not saying you need body builders lol

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@DatManRJ @hiimdabby Won’t dance around the question. Yes it matters a great deal to me. But if i see a guard who i believe knows how to play physically & wants to do it but can’t really (Wagler)… & i see a frame i think can add some healthy applicable weight (Wagler)… I’ll fade those concerns more

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@DatManRJ @hiimdabby Yea. But I’m harsh. I have to see evidence of some outlier trait for me to spend a top 5 let alone top 10 pick on a guard i have any sort of size questions about. Height / weight / frame / wingspan

I heavily factor in anthros with guards. Checks my board & yea. Mikel brown at 5

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@Shafftybro2 @WeDogz21 I agree. And I’m comfortable with another team taking that bet over us. If I’m OKC i got two firsts. Sorber waiting. Topic in the wings. A solid second (top 40). I get it more for them

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@Shafftybro2 @WeDogz21 6 is Brooklyn and 7 is Sacramento

Ok I’ll stop. My b

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@WeDogz21 @Shafftybro2 If we slide in and get 21 for Herro

Go for it sure.

Pick 10 is sacred right now. 😭

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@Shafftybro2 @WeDogz21 (And i can cope with the best of em)

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@Shafftybro2 @WeDogz21 I think this is a lot of what about ism for a ball club that’s lit picks on fire before and have a track record of doing it

I’m trying my best to hear you out but it’s hard

FWIW I’m not advocating for safe. I’m advocating for a baseline that’s easier to work with & project

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@Shafftybro2 @WeDogz21 My rebuttal is he’s human. I like Jenkins but he isn’t bullet proof. Ziaire Williams was a variation of this to me and that failed

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@Shafftybro2 @WeDogz21 Do you think the coach they hired is good or bad. Don’t you want to build up a foundation for when those next wave of picks come

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@Shafftybro2 @WeDogz21 I don’t know if i agree with that tbh. It’s the right level of player to make me ponder the thought tho. Anything less and I’m probably with you

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@Shafftybro2 @WeDogz21 13 (theoretically) is another stab at it. But 10 isn’t 5 and 13 isn’t 8 if you catch my drift. I have all these guys in the same tier but i do think you are working with a lesser prospect with more questions.

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@Shafftybro2 @WeDogz21 I get the line of thinking for sure

I just think… if that’s the take… then we are probably underrating how catastrophic it would be to whiff on the most important pick you’ll have for the next X amount of seasons.

I don’t wanna underrate that part. They need to get it right

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@Shafftybro2 @WeDogz21 Also an unusual question because you hate him more than i do (i think)… what you think of the prospect is a factor in this. This isn’t a Mikel brown situation where i see the downside but i REALLY see the upside if it hits. I don’t particularly find visualized ament enticing

[brick hands bersin @ProctrDoctr]

@Shafftybro2 @WeDogz21 Because of their resume. It doesn’t even make sense for Horst individually imo. You don’t think a double helps him?
