Probably top 5. Easily top 10.

I'm sure we'll work him out and analyze him thoroughly, then.

He's likely a top 5 pick, top 10 at the worst IMO.

Is it wrong to get the Jamal Crawford vibe with Hield?

With #3 i like Jaylen Brown. Shooting can be taught, he'll be excellent to disrupt interior defenses with hard cuts, i can see Russell and Huertas tossing up lobs or give and gos

Im torn on #1 and 2. Ingram fits better now but it feels so wrong to draft on fit this high, Simmons may be the best out of 2016 and our own prospects but i just dont know

It will probably come down to whoever has a better workout. I know Simmons moved to Phoenix to workout after he dropped out so hopefully he has locked himself away and is working on his jump shot. I'd imagine Ingram is focusing on bulking up now that the season is over. Its going to be an interesting next two months.

Good point, hopefullu both Simmons and Ingram have done both. Just 20 days till the draft lottery.

With our #32 pick I went looking to fill two positions of need: SF and C

I put the top names in the unlikely event they fall on draft day.

* Diamond Stone
* Taurean Prince
* Domantas Sabonis
* Timothe Luwawu
1. AJ Hammons
2. Juan Hernangomez
3. Zhou Qi
4. Ante Zizic
5. Gary Payton II
6. Wayne Selden
7. Dorian Finney-Smith

If we somehow did get to draft Ben Simmons, im very curious if Luke would try Simmons at C and bring in a 3&D plyr to start at SF.

I'm still torn about the second round pick

I mean, I know for sure there are a few guys you can't go wrong with at that spot, that will contribute some way or another, not necessarily as a star on this team, but glue guys which every team need..

On the other hand, there's this guy Thon Maker, who might end up as a complete bust when it's all said and done, and wouldn't be surprised if that's the case ....but the potential is there, if he gets his **** together he might be a difference maker someday
From all of the reports, I think he drops to our range ...

Do we nab someone for potential to be good, but also a chance he busts out, or do we get a lower ceiling guy, but a sure thing?

I like Sabonis at 32. Hell, if Sacre was serviceable, this kid is an improvement. Him and Nance would be perfect.

On the other hand, I'd be curious if we get Simmons and draft Maker. Its like we have our own 2K team with 99 ratings.

Russell
Clarkson
Simmons
Randle
Maker

Damn.

He won't fall nearly that far tho'

Same here, I'd love Sabonis at 32. Best shot to get Sabonis would be to acquire a 1st rd pick from some team out there

I think a late 50s pick can be had for 1.5 to 2mil to draft thon maker, i agree its worth the gamble but not at 32, rather buy a late 2nd rd pick

Very intrigued by Wade Baldwin, great length for a combo guard.

I saw full games of other foreign plyrs, didn't check on bender yet. Youtube has a wealth of games but you can also usually see the team website they play for, like NBA sites. Im just as curious about him but can he handle playing center and being that rim protector we sorely need?

Excited to see Zhou Qi will be at the combine, im really interested if his frame could fill out and handle the nba transition but his youtube available vids got me willing to take him at 32 if he's available.

Would even flip for Lou for a late 1st just to snag him, im pretty sold lol

Just 5 more days till the combine
