Hypothetical Draft picks

[Shooter1]

Let’s just say we somehow get the #7 from Portland in a Grant trade. You now have the 5 and 7. It is pretty safe to say we would go SG/PF wit the two picks. How would you go about it?


Take Ivey/Sharpe then Eason / Sochan.

Or

Take Murray then Mathurin or Daniels.

What say you?

Do you see a better way to use the two picks not being a SG/PF combo?

[Pharaoh]

Murray and Mathurin would be awesome

BPA at 5. Then BPA at 7. Guessing Ivey at 5 and Murray/Sharpe/Mathuran at 7.

[Manocad]

I'd go Ivey at 5 and Murray at 7, easy

[7r5ur]

I'd go Ivey at 5 and Murray at 7, easy

I doubt Indy lets Murray drop past them at 6, so there's a good chance in that scenario of Ivey dropping to 5 that you'd end up staring at a bunch of backcourt guys at the top of the board at 7, which could get tricky with Cade/Killian already around.

But I'd be thrilled to end up with Ivey & Murray somehow at the end of draft night.

You obviously value Sochan to be taking him top 7, Can you tell me why because I just can’t get around him.

He was a 29% 3pt shooter and 59% ft shooter. I can’t think of a player with such bad college stats that become a formidable shooter in the nba.

It's almost 100% guaranteed that one of Murray, Sharpe, or Ivey will be there at #7. Someone else will rise up and crack the top 6 its just a matter of who and how high they rise.

Yes but if you take Ivey at 5 and Murray goes 6… are you taking Sharpe another SG at 7?

I don”t but he was the next PF up. I am high in Eason.

Sharpe likely coming off the bench for a while anyways. If he's the highest upside guy you take him and run with it.

If you just want either, and all 3 are still there at #5 it means someone else jumped up to #4... which means you can take Murray at #5 and then just take Ivey or Sharpe at #7 since they can't both get picked at 6.

I still would if he's the clear best on your board. Nothing in the draft is guaranteed. So what if Ivey busts and Sharpe actually is good? Plus, if Hayes doesn't turn it around like we all hope he does, you're still at 3 guards if both Ivey and Sharpe hit. You would then need to address PF in FA.

If they aren't high on Sharpe and have a PF at a similar rating, then maybe you go PF. But I go Sharpe if he's the clear #7 guy in their board.

[bstein14]

I feel like at #7 you can take a risk on a guy like Sharpe... at #5 it really feels like we need to get a guy who is more sure fire. We can't afford another Killian at #5 IMO or its lights out for Weaver. That alone might prevent him from taking a risk on a bigger unknown because he's already had a pretty big flop at #7 with Killian.

We are not getting 7 for Jerami. Not happening. Maybe 13 or 15 thru Charlotte trading those two for 7.

[Southern Piston]

I’ve seen multiple articles mentioning it a likely scenario. I really don’t understand the hate on the idea, picks at that level usually are a couple years away, Grant is still a Very good two way player, who’s played big in the playoffs, and can give 15-20 and be your best defender, if that’s not a unproven 7th pick worthy what is.

Disagree. Dime has ties with Grant and can not wait for a #7 pick to develop if he does at all. Dime has a few prime years left.

So would you trade #5 for a expiring Jerami Grant? Dame doesn't run the team over there and they already got rid of his long running backcourt partner who is better then Grant.

It just makes no sense at all and cant even think of another example unbelievable short sighted trade to compare it too.

What articles? Those are just written by regular posters like one of us in here.

Nobody with any credentials in the business is suggesting this as realistic. Blazers have no shot at a title especially after getting Grant and handing him a big deal.

So they really have nothing but time on their hands. They're probably just hoping Dame requests a trade soon before they have to take action into their own hands and move him.

So taking a guy with a projected higher upside but also higher risk at 7 who doesn't take off right away is a flop if it's Killian Hayes...but ok if it's Sharpe?

Man, you REALLY dislike that kid.
