If you feel like gambling, the biggest boom or bust prospect in this draft: Arthur Kaliyev.

The skill is absolutely there... but his toolbox is limited.

If he's available at 15 I take him. If you can get that kind of talent at 15th overall you take it an smile. Then do everything you can to develop him properly.

actually 39. (with one of the picks we traded for Shaw).

regardless, #39 isn't a mid round pick. And neither of our 2nd rounders are that high.

I’ve never seen him play but that article wasn’t effusive: Average feet, pace isn’t always good, inconsistent compete level.

Unless there's someone else there with high end skill that you really like... I take a chance on the guy with elite skill. Chances are that he busts, but chances are that anyone you take at 15 doesn't become a top line player. At least this guy has a high ceiling.
