Good breakdown. I've been watching a lot of Missi because I want my team to take him at 18. Only point I'll push back on is his touch. I actually think it's pretty bad, except, bizarrely, when he's shooting with his left. Keep up the good work.

got some Nerlens Noel vibes

[@six4lsu]

Great breakdown, could you do Ware? I feel like my Pels might be looking at Ware or Missi. Who would you prefer?

[@benpfeifer8192]

thank you! probably ware bc of his spacing upside, even if i like missi more

[@phantxmtv6596]

A lot of people won’t agree with me but I feel out of all the big men he’s the best fit for okc because he’s one of the only big men who is non ball dominant and he also is the most athletic big in this draft which I think is what okc needs they need he’s a 7ft athletic draymond green with a better shot and better defense

[@knifeknights7693]

Can he pass?

[@JKJK-lw8rm]

Draymond can pass and defense big centers. He's also very switchable.

[@KyouOneZilla]

I think this draft is better than people think, there may only be about 3 guys who can be at the top of the league but there are solid role play guys throughout the first round, Which if you think about it, is how most drafts end up anyway. Like everyone agrees that it's all good role players but are skeptical on star potential.

Missi and Jonathan issac are gonna wreck havoc for the magic next year

As a rockets fan I actually like Missi a lot him or Ware are the bigs that I like in this draft. He would be the perfect backup big behind Sengun. However we have the third pick so drafting him at 3 is a reach. Would have to trade down if we were able to get him

[@TerribleTake]

Clingan would be a perfect backup big behind sengun for you guys and it wouldn’t be a big reach with the 3rd pick

[@KyouOneZilla]

@@TerribleTake Edey would be better. I know he's older but he's actually productive and he's shooting well at the combine. Purdue didn't need him to space the floor because he was so dominating in the post. This is the kind of draft where it doesn't matter where anybody goes because we have no clue on any of these players.

[@jwordxyz]

Who's the better defender? Him or adem bona?

[@benpfeifer8192]

missi by a mile

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

Missi is athletic but has alot of holes in his game. he is basically a run and dunk player currently. its why he is in the 17-24 range. missi is a project. he has to develop a mid range game and a 3 pt shot before he is a complete player, so looking at likely best case 3 year development project if he develops into that.

[@benpfeifer8192]

did you watch the video

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

@@benpfeifer8192 yes and its a highlight reel basically. missi is half the equation basically in college. the modern nba big is athletic and can switch on defence but also has to be able to stretch the floor by shooting 3 pters and mid range shots. missi is just a run and slam player currently. he wont be able to do that in the nba against bigger faster player, especially when the pack the paint. if he cant shoot the 3, he is just making it easy to defend in a crowded paint. its why missi is in the 17 to 24 range because he is offensively raw.

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

@@benpfeifer8192 missi actually reminds me of pascal siakam coming out of college. he has that potential, but is still a project.

[@giovanni-ed7zq]

@@benpfeifer8192 i dont think i am wrong, missi is athletic and switchable, but he is very raw offensively. its why he is where he is in the draft. next year if he was in the 2025 draft he would probably be in the 25-30 range if he is where he is at offensively.

[@benpfeifer8192]

@@giovanni-ed7zq i strongly disagree but thats alright
