NBA Draft 2021: Final projections of first 30 draft selections
By William Cash
Brown is a very raw talent, that has great athleticism and physical tools but that’s about it. He must improve his playmaking skills and offensive game.
He lacks defensive awareness and commits way too many fouls on the defensive end. Brown has a high ceiling but has lots of work to do on his game to be a solid NBA contributor.
Phoenix is in dire need of some backup center help, as Frank Kaminsky is simply just not getting the job done. Sharpe is very raw, but he is good in the low post, a solid rebounder, and plays with a nice motor when on the floor.
He has some limitations, and I don’t think he will be able to develop a jump shot. But his upside and skills he brings are enough for Phoenix to take him here at the end of the first round.
Bones Hyland who had an amazing combine workout that shot him up draft boards is an excellent scorer. He has a long wingspan and exceptional athleticism which allows him to finish effortlessly around the rim.
Hyland has a skinny frame and must add size to it to be able to defend at a high level. However, Hyland reminds me a lot of Jamal Crawford and has the potential to be an elite NBA scorer.
