Pat would do it to get Lebron one last time.

After Alonzo's kidneys and Bosh's blood clots, not sure they'd draft Bronny even if you forget the other hundred problems with drafting him (Klutch, Bron etc) and assume he is worthy of the pick.

Regardless, you don't waste a pick on this kind of prospect.

We need to find a guard who's a natural scorer, someone with an athletic edge that can create.

I haven't been keeping tabs on the Draft as much this year for whatever reason. Who are we liking in our projected pick range?

We'd be sitting at pick #17 as things stand today. Pretty close to Jaime territory, so you know there's talent on the board still at this spot.

PG and a 3/4 would still be my areas I'd want to focus on, albeit the acquisition of Rozier probably puts the 1 at less of a focus. Would still like a developing PG behind him though.

The Big Z looks pretty interesting. The stroke looks legit.

Reed Sheppard needs to be here.

Post #74 » by **DayofMourning** » Sun Jan 28, 2024 1:23 am

Reed Sheppard is so solid. Has a super quick shot. No hesitation.

Bleacher has us drafting Isaiah Collier in the first and Alex Karaban in the 2nd.

People seem well down on Collier compared to when the College seasons started. He was listed as top 5 back then, now at our pick in the mid first. What's happened? Is this a Cam Whitemore type situation?

Boy can shoot the **** out of the ball. Smart kid too. Id like to see more playmaking but I also want him to hover in our draft range.

He apparently cant shoot or playmake as well as expected. He does look like he can get to the rim pretty well though.

A lot of the high level prospects before the year started havent played well at all.

If he's elite at getting to the rim, I'll roll the dice on him. You work with on his shot and pray it gets legit, Like it with D.Fox.

We need someone with an elite skill.
