Guys like Prosper, Maxwell Lewis, Bobbi Klintman all are perfect especially if we pass on Whitmore and go with Walker or Hendricks.

There’s also some playmaking shooting guards like Podziemski and Ben Sheppard that I think could step in immediately and make an impact.

I also don’t think we should bring in more than 2 rookies.


Assuming that the projected lottery picks are all gone... These are guys projected at 15-25 range that if one of them falls I'm excited to get.
At #31 will any of these guys be available? If so I'm keeping the pick. If not I wouldn't be opposing to moving it for a future pick.


Jordan Hawkins -> UConn Sophomore
Kris Murray -> Iowa Junior
Jett Howard -> Michigan Freshman
Kobe Bufkin -> Michigan Sophomore
GG Jackson -> South Carolina Freshman
Dariq Whitehead - Duke Freshman (kind of on the fence on him feel like he didn't live up to hype at Duke but was a top recruit of class... went to same HS as Cade)
Brice Sensabaugh - Ohio State Freshman


I think Hawkins, Murray, Bufkin, and Howard are all gone by 31.

GG and Whitehead definitely have the talent but man are they boom or bust.

GG had an atrocious season. Great highlights and he’s so young, but his attitude really has to be right or he’ll be out the league.

Whitehead just had his second foot surgery that’s scary for being so young.

I know people scoff at second round picks, but I’m telling you this draft has some good wings that are gonna fall to the second round and are going to contribute to teams right away.

Oh, I think he probably will be as well! Never know, though. Someone drops every year.
