Similar players at similar positions, roughly at similar draft spots, which one would you take?
Up first, would you take Montrezl Harrell or Cliff Alexander?
Both are roughly 6'8" with long arms, very aggressive, powerfully built, physical inside presence, and not much in terms of perimeter scoring.
Who would you take?

I like both players, but for the C's I'd still prefer Cliff, because I think he's gonna be a better rebounder and I think he's gonna have the ability to play a little backup 5 once he fills out some. Plus I think Cliff has a better chance of developing a reliable midrange J.
I think Harrell will be a better rim protector and perimeter defender. Harrell would make a good fit in Sacto with Boogie, but Sacto may be picking too early to go for him. May be a good trade back scenario.

Yeah, I'm on the fence with both, and if Ainge ends up picking either one, I'm endorsing it. But if I get a call from Ainge, and he wants me to make the choice, I'm leaning towards Harrell. He's proved himself at the collegiate level, so we have a better idea of what we're getting. Cliff had trouble cracking the rotation early in his freshmen season (I think because he couldn't figure out his defensive assignments), and even at the end of the season, seemed lost.

Ok, next game:
Caris Levert or Kris Dunn?
Levert is 6'7" and Dunn is 6'3", but both play a similar style of basketball -- both are athletic guards, capable of handling Point duties, both are gifted with quickness and agility, both are creative with the ball.
Dunn may have a slight upper hand as a playmaker, while Levert appears to be the better shooter.
