NBA Draft 2021: NBA Mock Draft 4.0 with lottery odds set
By Mike Luciano
PG/SG. Illinois. 27. player. 147. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Ayo Dosunmu
The easy prediction might be to give Brooklyn another young big to account for their poor interior defense, but the lack of point guard depth behind Kyrie Irving is equally startling. Dosummu has enough college experience to hit the ground running for the Nets
Don’t let the Fighting Illini’s early exit in the tournament fool you. Dosunmu is a complete offensive player, as he brings with him the versatility to play both guard spots, shoot the lights out, and make some very incisive passes.
Dosunmu needs to get a bit stronger, and his shooting form can be a bit funky at times, but he has a very low floor, and he should be able to get some masterful tutelage in Brooklyn’s electric offensive attack.
player. 93. PG. West Virginia. 28. Miles McBride. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
If Philadelphia tries and fails to get Kyle Lowry this offseason, they might end up settling for the store brand version instead in McBride, as the West Virginia point guard has been steadily rising up boards.
McBride might not be a tremendous passer, but he can put up points in a hurry and check the opponent’s point guard for as long as you want. Such players are rarely available at this point in the draft, and the Daryl Morey/Elton Brand duo should pounce.
McBride is a bit of a tweener, as he is not a true pass-first point guard and might be a bit too undersized to play shooting guard full-time. Still, there is enough worth developing here for the 76ers to add him to their development pipeline.
