New mock draft -
Iggy 27
Matthews 38
Poole 51
Unfortunately Iggy will be first Beilein One And Done.
Sam Vecenie at The Athletic has Iggy at 50 and Charles at 40. Heās good a guy whoās rankings Iād trust a lot more than some others. He answered pretty in depth questions about Iggy as he had a lot of people asking him about it.
To kind of summarize his comments, he said he still like him a lot and does not feel like he is down on him. He mentioned that a lot of his points have been on spot up opportunities, either shooting or driving a closeout, saying that he hasnāt done a ton of creating for himself or others. He mentioned his explosiveness could be an issue in trying to finish over NBA bigs, his OREB abilities not translating because NBA teams donāt crash the boards, and his transition abilities not being worth much in the NBA because heās not creating the opportunisties through steals or his own quickness. He also mentioned that Beilein uses him extremely well and he may not look this good with a lesser coach.

The '18-'19 Nets know now how the '14-'15 & '15-'16 Wolverines felt.

Interesting analysis. From what Iāve seen, Iād think that a large majority of his points actually come from him creating his own offense in the half court, which is at odds with Vecenieās thoughts. I wonder if thereās some data on that somewhere.
Heās just reading the Synergy data. Spot up refers to catch and shoot but also catch and drive, FWIW. A lot of people get that mixed up.
Working on a big story about Iggy for next week breaking down some of the numbers there.

Dylan, be sure to address the issue: āIf Iggy had gone to MSU, would he be starting?ā
Yep. I think Vecenie understands this (??) and his point is valid even if he doesnāt. Big difference between attacking a rotating defense versus starting a Pick and roll or an ISO from scratch.
Yep. That is clearly the role that Brazdeikis is playing in this offense and I donāt think thereās really anything wrong with that. Surprised that it catches so many people by surprise when they see it, not just the OP in this post. Seems pretty clear (even without the numbers) to me.
Weāre starting to see sprinkles of Brazdeikis getting involved in some other ways though.
DJ Wilson got a little run for the Bucks last night, putting up 7 points on 4 shots (1-2 from 3). Wasnāt all garbage time, as he got in during the 2nd quarter.

Is someone on the Bucks injured? Just wondering where all this PT is coming from?
