If AK follows up the Vuc trade by using our only pick on Luka **** Garza I might have a mental breakdown and turn into a psychotic anarchist acting only to violently illustrate the absurdity of existence.

Isaiah Todd reminds me a lot of Bazley from OKC. He moves really well for his size.

What if he trades it for Luka Doncic? :eyebrows:

I really like Todd. Watched a bit of the Ignite and he flashed each time. I can't see him slipping to be honest...someone will and should take a flier in the late first. But if he does? No brainer.

He's my favorite potential pick at #38. I just don't know if he will last that long. The Combine helped him a little. I see mocks where he's going at the tail end of the 1st Round or within the first 4 picks of the 2nd Round. I think Todd has great potential. He moves well enough that I have said before that he can probably play the "3" against other teams' bench "3" and create some real mismatches. He will eventually fill out to Horace Grant size at 6-10" and about 240, But right now at 220 lbs he's quick enough to stay with most of the bench wings in the league.

Livers and Todd are my top two.

Garza is not going to develop here. He can't play with Vuc and the backup minutes won't be there because it's unlikely we're going to want to have a traditional center (although he can shoot) in the game for 48 minutes. We'll want a change of pace big backing up Vuc - Someone who is athletic, can block shots, and defend. Basically a Theis or Gafford type.

Garza will be lucky if he can develop in Turkey. He is not an NBA player at all.

Hoping for one of Vrenz Bleijenbergh, Quintin Grimes or Jason Preston. I'd be happy with Joe Wieskamp also.

Imo, Santi Aldama is a dark horse. AK likes skilled forwards/bigs. Rokas Jokubaitis is another, crafty left handed guard.

If Sharife Cooper drops into the 20s (which I'm still skeptical about, but ok), I hope we try to use #38 + Sato to draft him.

Eh- don't know about that. Garza won't be a good defender but can shoot 3's, hustles, can pass, and can rebound.

I will laugh if anyone drafts him. Summer camp invite? Sure, whatever. But he’ll be nothing but a liability in a real NBA game.

My top target for the Bulls is JT Thor - PF/SF
Height: 6'9.25"
Wingspan: 7'3"

Player Comparison: Jerami Grant/Bigger Cam Reddish

He’ll get drafted on name recognition and soon be out of the league.

Duck, a lot of times you can be right but you also post at times opinions as facts. It can be extremely arrogant - especially since you've been wrong many times too.

Isn’t assumed that any post predicting the future of a player is an opinion? None of us are simply stating facts unless we are citing data and then attributing no observation to it.

Plus, Garza sucks as an NBA prospect. In my humble and fallible opinion.

I mean, it's a message board. Hyperbole (and receipts of said hyperbole) are kind of par for the course.

If we manage to get 3rd pick who do you draft?
