Re-Drafting the 2013 NBA Draft

23. player. 100. <p><strong>Original pick: Solomon Hill</strong></p> <p>Chicago Bulls fans really don’t appear to like Tony Snell. Chicago’s fan base has made Snell a whipping boy in a wildly unfair way, and even if the the swingman isn’t the player that Bulls fans would want him to be, he hasn’t been nearly the “bust” that some proclaim.</p> <p>As the number 20 pick originally, Snell falls only a few spots in our re-draft, and there are positive traits to consider. For starters, he is a career 35.1 percent three-point shooter, and that number balloons to 36.6 percent when taking only the last two seasons into account. That, combined with an encouraging defensive profile at 6-foot-7, does give reason to be optimistic about Snell’s development.</p> <p>Then, though, you have the downside. Snell’s 6.4 PER in 2015-2016 is obviously ghastly, and it is very difficult to post a 47.8 percent true shooting while making more than 36 percent of your threes. To translate, he was very bad at everything else last season.</p> <p>It will be interesting to see what happens to Snell if he is given a longer leash, but the cupboard is beginning to look bare and he has been better than the alternatives.</p>. SG/SF. New Mexico. Tony Snell
