US media selection: Who will be the biggest draft mistake in this year

ESPN invited 20 NBA executives and scouts to vote on this year's draft. In the "Who will be the biggest draft turnover in this year (referring to the high pick and low potential player selected)", Yang Hansen was on the list, and the first was the Nets' No. 8 pick Deming, who got 7 votes. The second is the Trail Blazers' No. 16 pick Yang Hansen, who won 4 votes, and the third is the Grizzlies' No. 11 pick Coward got 3 votes.

First of all, they believe that although the Nets Deming is 2.06 meters tall and has good passing ability, his performance in the NCAA has fluctuated throughout the season, especially his shooting percentage is not high, and his defensive rate needs to be strengthened. In the summer league just now, he averaged 12.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 33.3%.

Yang Hansen ranked second. In fact, it is indeed unexpected for the first round No. 16 pick. Most teams expect him to be selected in the early second round, while the Trail Blazers traded with the Grizzlies and selected him too early after relegating from the 11th pick to the 16th pick. Although he performed well in the summer league and showed good offensive methods and support skills, most people believe that his confrontational ability and physical fitness are difficult to adapt to high-intensity NBA games. So, the evaluation of the draft list, his pick was a bit too high.

, the reason why Coward is in high draft position is his injury risk. Although he showed good offense and defense abilities, he had only played six games at Washington State University due to a back injury. Therefore, for his previous predictions, he is also a typical lottery zone late draft. Unexpectedly, the Grizzlies used him as a replacement for Bain, who traded him to the Magic last month, which was a bit surprising.
