2022 wing prospects not highly touted

[DERRENMATTS]

Seeing we won't be picking till mid second round, we need to scour the best non highly touted players we can hope will be there for our taking.

I'll preface this by saying my preference will lean towards wings who are 6'6" and taller cause I'm pretty happy with Prtich and Derrick White, and we have a developing Nesmith (but of course I'd take an upgrade over them).

Two guys I'll start off with are:

Peyton Watson, UCLA, Freshmen, 6'8", 190 lbs.
Josh Minott, Memphis, Freshmen, 6'8", 210 lbs.

Watson is more well rounded currently, but Minott appears to have exceptional feel for the game. Minott's shot is a huge question mark, but I'm hoping professional coaching can correct his form and improve his accuracy. If his shooting comes around, even if only from midrange, this kid will be a steal.

Here's another guy, Ryan Rollins, 6'3" Guard, Toledo.

Jabari Walker, 6'9", 215 lbs, SF

I would really like this kid. Seems like a high floor kid who projects as a very solid defender (on-ball and off-ball), and a very solid 3 pt shooter.

Is this a year where the prospects aren't superstars in the 1st round that we could trade up for a solid contributing player? I mean look at what Desmond Bane turned out to be. We drafted him for Memphis as part of that 30th pick trade..and he has been absolutely solid for Memphis. Imagine what he could have looked like on the Cs. Smart, Bane, Brown, Tatum, RWill...

Never expected that out of Bane.

If we could somehow trade up for a top 7 pick, I would love to get Keegan Murray to be out Horford replacement. I'm high on this kid -- could turn out to be the 2nd best playet in this draft (think Chet will be the best).

And we see the prototype wings that Brad is looking for.

6'6"-6'8", handle the ball, play defense, hit perimeter shots.

I see Brodrick Thomas in these players.
