While this year’s draft is short on big men outside of the lottery, there are a whole lot of wings and combo guards that fit the 3&D mold. Many players project as high level role players in the NBA – either due to their skillset or their production. But that makes you wonder, “Why can’t we look at more high upside prospects?” Depending on the situation they fall under, any of these players could exceed expectations. (That seems super obvious.) A player like Zhaire Smith may just be scratching the surface on his potential. Even a mid lottery selection like Mikal Bridges could expand his game just a little and be a team’s second or third best player.
