surprised we are not working out reynaud. Likely to be in our general range and would seem to fit a need.

Niederhauser?

Rim runner but probably nothing more.

2.3 blocks per game. Nice size.

I'd at least look at him. The league is getting bigger.

Give me Watkins, Tonje, Powell or Luis

Watkins definitely looks interesting to me.

If you want a Wiseman redux...he's like a poor man's WCS. Don't want. Kerr would never play him. He makes JaVale McGee look like Jokic.

Yeah, I really like his length and overall skill set. He turned the ball over a lot at FSU but he wouldn't be relied on as a playmaker as much in the NBA.

Not a great 3pt. shooter but he gets to the foul line.

I like him and Tonje for GS

This is where I'm at assuming Thiero and Yang are off the board.

I don’t get why Thiero gets mocked low at times. I would run to the podium if he is still available at 41.

Yang will probably be off the table as well.

Our luck, he'll be there and they still won't take him.

Reading and watching more about max Shulga and he’s got some podz to him. Seems like a jack of all trades type player. Competes on defense, rebounds, can shoot dribble and pass.

Working out
Johni Broome
Kam jones
Kobe sanders

Really small workout groups this year. Seems odd

Not an exciting group.

If Kam could shoot from deep and the line he would be appealing.

Kam was a much better shooter when he was off the ball last year. This past year he was the defacto pg and creator creating everything. Think the bigger issue with him is that he needs a lot of dribbles to get to his shot, so not a real fit here, but he does have an intriguing skillset and can create his own shot.

Think Johni can be a backup center in the league. Would have issues with some matchups obviously but he'd be an interesting replacement for TJD, but not sure if he would be better than TJD. I'd probably pass on him.

I think it's hard to attract young players to the Warriors...I think we know why.

Why because they get playing time regardless if you're a 2nd rd pick or udfa?

Bogo had his measurements taken...

This week in Italy, two prospects helped their draft stock with strong measurements in Treviso. Serbia's Bogoljub Marković checked in at 6-foot-10 and half an inch without shoes, weighing 213 pounds and notching a 6-foot-11 and half an inch wingspan. Marković also recorded a 9-foot-2 standing reach.

If Markovic or Thiero are on the board at pick 35 would you want to trade up from 41 to get one of them?

I would if it was only cash or throw in TJD and trading picks. Feels like there is a drop off after those two.
