AJC Hawks 15th pick rank them

[kerrypack]

I know we are only one game into summer league for most of these teams, but the top 3 of my hideous list are headed in the right direction. I figured I better crow before they play terrible

 

1. Doug McDermott :Game 1 http://www.nba.com/summerleague/2014/players/sl_doug_mcdermott/index.html
2. Gary Harris: Game 1 http://www.nba.com/summerleague/2014/players/sl_gary_harris/index.html
3. TJ Warren: Game 1 http://www.nba.com/summerleague/2014/players/sl_tj_warren/index.html

 

I know McBuckets didn't shoot well from the field overall, but he did fill the stat sheet and get to the line.  Let's be honest I'm not worried about his shooting and he did shoot 40% from 3 as expected. Gary Harris and TJ Warren were in beast mode.  As much as I like Major Payne, we will regret not taking Gary Harris. This guy could start for us this year, and was a greater position of need. His quickness, ability to handle the ball and finish in traffic is even better than I thought. His BB IQ is off the charts. Through this point in summer league, he looks like a better player than Marcus Smart to me. Smart has great upside if he could ever learn to shoot though, but based on Orlando summer league that shot is years away. 

 

A lot of teams will look back at this draft and say WTF we passed on Gary Harris and TJ Warren because player X could jump higher. 

lets see how it translates into the regular season.  i'll be interested in seeing if pj hairston (who shot horribly during sl) can get his shot off in the regular season as well.
