Either trade the pick or swing for an elite tools high upside kid.
Don't want to see us touch any "quality mature role player" - we're becoming to Chicago bulls with all this mid talent.
Who you got Rex? Whos that hidden gem?
Too drained to go into a deep dive ATM.
Generally I'd target the kid with the best physical tools and scoring talent available, regardless of position.
We can't keep grinding seasons, we need some natural bonafide bucket getters.
They went with raw upside talent in Jovic, then they went with ready now talent in Jaquez, I think their gonna go with best physical and scoring talent upside since were at the tail end of the Jimmy build, plus that talent could be used in future trade so you want to pick best available on the table on this upcoming pick.
Hoping for
Stepson Castle to drop: 6'-6" PG/SG Combo guard high athletism, ball handling, first step. I have a feeling he goes 10-13.
Donovan Clingan, is interesting 7'-2" bruiser center with great defense, and the guy you need to go at Jokic/Embiid, and allow Bam to be the defender he is across a larger area on the floor. Very high upside.
Nikola Topic, is also very interesting to me, as a Euro 6'-6" PG with tons of skill, and high upside shooting, great ball handling and passing instincts, euro step savvy, and very comfortable playing under the basket against larger players. Reminds me of a young bigger Goran Dragic as archetype.
Terrence Shannon has the highest upside of any guard in the draft and is slated potentially at #9, If Miami could somehow swap picks here and do a draft day trade, the kid is 6'-7" 225lbs, nba ready body, athletism for days, peak monster upside at SG. If he drops, and we can trade down a couple spots, hell if he drops and were like 2-3 picks away Miami should do whatever they can to go grab this dude. I wish they dropped the damn Chicago game so we could be a bit closer to nabbing someone like him.
