Just saw a highlight of Nurkic posterizing him and knocking him flat on his ass.

he got manhandled, its like he wasn't even there

Watch on YouTube

Ouch. Someone needs to remind Nurkic that Black Lives Matter.

Gonna be hilarious when our pick is finally on the clock and Bob trades down.

The Cavs were working toward drafting LeBron for 2 solid years.

The trade down option for more picks isn’t an option I think about anymore. I did like the idea a few months ago though. We need to squeeze the talent out of this top 5 pick whether they play 15-25mpg. They need to be an instant rotational player.

What's your best guess for the franchise's top5 board?

We have a thread resembling this: https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1971780

My top 5 in order is Patrick Williams, Deni Avdija, James Wiseman, Saddiq Bey, Anthony Edwards.

For me, Wiseman is hands down the BPA and also a great fit. With the length in the West, the Warriors are short in that category. I feel like he’s a future All Star.

No order:
Tyrese Haliburton, James Wiseman, Lamelo Ball, Avdija, & Onyeka.

So there's a lot of talk about Ayton being improved, especially defending on the perimeter off switches.

If Suns get in the playoffs and he plays well, that might change the thinking towards Wiseman.

4. Vassell

I think I'm with you on this, I'm leaning more and more towards Wiseman lately. Too much potential.
