2021 Draft Options-Part 2-What to do with selection #22
The players listed below, were taken from mock drafts on NBA Draft Room, NBA Draft Net and Tankathon. I chose some basic, simple parameters in my selections. Shoot above 35% on 3pt attempts, over 75% on free throws and have a PER over 20.0. This gives us a toolbox of players that have some basic building blocks for possibly helping our team with some offensive output.
The below statistics help us see some basic current skills, of what a player brings to the table. Honestly, I am exhausted mentally, from watching millionaires clank free throws off the back iron. Tired of watching Laker 3pt shots go everywhere, except in the net and this shooting has been going on for several years now.
NOTE: Some of these players obviously will be selected before our #22 pick. However, mocks are mocks, with many different opinions as to who and why a player deserves a place in the 1st or 2nd round. No thought was given to a player’s defense, the strength of schedule, player character or age, though all of those topics will ultimately play a role in a team’s selection.

NOTE: *Slid my parameters a bit on Wagner (3pt% off by a tiny bit) and Bassey (he is a beast and is skillfully developing his 3pt % shooting to stretch the floor)
