Wendell Moore Jr. . player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. SF. Duke. 28. 41

The Warriors don’t have a lot of room for a rookie to come in and steal minutes, so this pick will likely be someone either stashed in their G League or on the bench seeing minimal minutes. Wendell Moore Jr. is still good value here at 28.

Last year at Duke, he showed glimpses of being able to be a catch and shoot guy, but that isn’t the strength of his game. Moore has great defense on the wing because he can bump and keep guys in front of him.

He was once a projected lottery pick but has struggled a bit and fell after the past few seasons. One thing that never went away was his hustle and defense, and for someone as highly rated as he was, that’s impressive. He should find himself on an NBA roster.

Pick Analysis. Jaylin Williams. player. C. Arkansas. 29. 211. Scouting Report

THIS IS MY HOT TAKE FOR THIS YEAR’S DRAFT.

This very well could be a big reach as many project Jaylin Williams to be a second-round guy, but man, I just love this guy so much and I want people to recognize it.

If you watched the Razorbacks tournament run you would know how hard Williams played and how much he sacrificed taking all of those charges for his team.

While he may not impact the game in the box score, fans will look back on his “dirty work” plays and see why their team won the game. And for that, I believe he will find himself a nice off-the-bench NBA role.
