ATLHawks3 Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Garuba is my new guy. Not even a question that he’s the best defender in the draft. He could realistically be an All-NBA defender within the first 2-3 years of his career, that’s how good he is. Only thing that you question is his offensive game. But that should grow over time. Pencil him in as your backup 4 after Gallo is gone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell and Barnes are better defenders but he can be a special defensive player down the road. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 favs outside of Jalen Green. 1. Green 2. Barnes 3. Mitchell These 3 really stand out to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Barnes you have an argument, but I disagree on Mitchell. Garuba is more versatile as a defender, as in he can guard 3 - 4 positions. But don't get me wrong on Mitchell, that guy is a dog and will give opposing 1's or 2's nightmares every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLHawks3 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 1 minute ago, bleachkit said: How is he on offense? Very raw right now. He'll probably be most impactful offensively in transition as well as being a lob threat starting from day 1. At this point, he should get better at spot up shooting. As he progresses he should also get better at attacking closeouts, working on his handles, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomFan Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 I've got 4 guys I'd happy with at #20. Cam Thomas Usman Garuba Jared Butler Sharife Cooper Probably in that order of preference. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really thrilled about any of the PGs I expect to be there at 20. You may be able to convince me to pull the trigger on Jared Butler if he’s still around. Cooper will be gone IMO.
