Would have been good for Blazers, but maybe even better for with Grizzlies post Bane.

Seriously, is AK going to continue to draft players with local ties just to keep spoon feeding the fans?

Carter Bryant is the guy for me with the biggest upside that's left on the board.
Why so serious?

I believe in our guy DuckIII's passion for KJ, among others here as well. I'm totally fine with Essengue also. Can we have both!?

I have Bryant slightly ahead of Nao on upside, it's close. I'll be happy with either Nao or Bryant.

16th pick, a future pick and 2nds is what Memphis sent for the Portland pick.

I heard it in a video so missed details on the future pick.

Bryant looks like the safe pick a 3&D project but high bust potential

KJ is most NBA ready/translatable, scouts said it all year long in NCAA but likely never a "stud"

Essengue has highest potential to be "Star-like" but also could be a major bust

#16, a future first and 2nds. I don't know details about the future first or how many seconds.
