I've got to say, I like Morez Johnson Jr. pick over Brayden Burries.
People harp saying his scoring floor is too low, but I think his scoring ability is only beginning and I think his college career shows that. In his first year he didn't ever shoot the ball, but after moving to Michigan, it started picking up and culminated last year in a Championship season.
No, he is not going to be competing for a scoring title, but I think he will be able to score and I think playing with Flagg will only compound his ability to score. With Flagg's ability to slash to the rim, he will get lots of clean up, he will get a lot of dump offs at the rim and I think he will end up a real 3-point threat in a few years. He is already showing even though it's a limited sample size that he can shoot.
I think he is shooting somewhere around 37% from 3-point line and that's from a person who doesn't shoot often from the 3-point line.
The fact that he is big at 250lbs and a force on the floor. Well, that will always help tilt the meter.
As for the guy they got @ 25th. Sergio de Larrea. I'm on the fence with this guy. Clearly he has talent, but he is going to need a ton of work. In the gym, ball handling, he has a slow first step. Maybe if he was just a shooter, but they are expecting him to be a point guard post Kyrie?
