Hey everyone, this board is mighty dead but maybe an influx of young talent will bring it back

Who do yall like for number two? Consensus is its between Mobley, Green and Suggs
Personally I flip flop between Mobley and Green with Suggs a solid third.
Right now I'm leaning green, being so polished as a scorer with so much athleticism to grow into is very attractive.
For the other picks some guys I like that could realistically be there:
Jaden Springer - Athletic defensive guard who shot well in college and may be the best defensive guard in the draft
Jared Butler - not as athletic but similar to Springer with a better track record as a shooter
Sharife Cooper - best live dribble guy maybe in the whole draft, but shot terribly from three and the field and is quite small, which is why he'd be available here
Usman Guruba - defensive stud at the four. Doesn't do anything on offense
Ziaire Williams - shot making wing who had an underwhelming college season but had an especially weird year being in the bay area during covid
Trey Murphy - 6'9 shooter with a 7' wingspan and good athleticism, can defend well on the wing
Tre Mann - a bit concerned with the way he doesn't put pressure on the rim and his defense, but a pull up shooting savant at guard
Guys I'd like to trade up for if they fall:
Josh Giddey - 6'8 guard with point guard level passing and a OK shooter, needs to tighten hsi handle to really be a point guard imo
James Bouknight - athletic scoring wing who I think has good potential to be a good defender. Gets knocked for shot selection but I think it was a product of his team
Franz Wagner - really heady player, seems like a high level glue guy. Great team defense and projects to be a good shooter with some ball skills
