Who does everyone want? Be reasonable and post players who are falling in the range 25-36.

Mine is a power forward. Trayce Jackson-Davis

Hes been compared to John Collins. limited shooting but super athletic and a wide body. I think will help our defense and offensive rebounding and maybe play some small ball center.

Still holding out that Hood-Schifino falls.

Jackson-Davis is a nice target, so is Murray as is Sanogo. Gueye is the biggest grand slam hit that *may* be there.

With the 48th, I'd take a swing on Bailey, Bates or Strawther, if available.

Noah Clowney would be nice to have at 30. And Jalen Pickett at 48.

Still praying for a PG for #3 trade.

Trayce Jackson-Davis or GG Jackson. The coach at SC made GG the focal point of a rebuilding team. He was asked to do too much and it showed--he's got a high ceiling. But I think Trace has a (much) higher floor. I have a feeling about him like I did about Dosunmu last year. Coachable guy; good size and instincts, great motor and desire. I wish we had more second rounders; I'd trade that and #30 to move up to get Trayce a few picks higher up if we needed to.

Sleeper pick: Dariq Whitehead. I dont think teams know what to do about him and the injury issue. Thing is, he was an elite prospect. Even if he drops from that, I think he'll be a high rotation player at the least.

That’s mentioned in the wiretap. If Scoot drops I’m all in. I want none of Miller.

I am changing the title since we are dumping the first round pick :( I would draft
Nowell from KSU with the 48 pick. I know he is small but he is a gamer and a true point guard. Hes been killing it in pre draft camps.

He is, probably the biggest project on here, but if they can develop him, I think he has the potential to be damn good, and at 48, a gamble well worth it.

Bates, Sonogo, Bailey, Clark...all guys I also wouldn't mind. The first three are more projects with a decent ceiling, but Clark is a guy that, if he keeps developing his 3, can carve a spot due to his defensive tenacity.

Yeah at 48, its pretty much a complete crap shoot. I think sonogo will be gone as well as Bates.

We have to gamble on a PF. We literally have nobody that can put up a reasonable defense against Anthony Davis or the Joker. Defense has to be decent at that position. Zubac/Plumlee arent really capable.

Best athlete available. At #48, he's probably 3 years away. Even a lot of FRPs take a few years. Try not to pick anyone over 21.

Nowell is could play right now. Dude was a monster passer, a pesky defender, a tough NY PG, Was the highlight of the entire NCAA tournament. He could immediately come off the bench. Brunson got tossed aside as well. Im not saying hes Brunson but hes definitely similar to Celtics Isaiah Thomas. One of the best passers and controllers of an offense I have ever seen in college.

its fair criticism. But He was the best player in the NCAA tournament. He averaged like 14 assists per game with only 4 TO per game.

He made some passes that only the Joker and Luka make, an expert lob passer. The second round is a complete crap shoot.

If its not him, we need a big that can defend the pick and roll. A switchable defender who can handle todays NBA offenses. Zubac is garbage at it, Plumlee was so so. Its one of the most difficult things to do. Its what makes people like Draymond Green so special. Draymond went in the second round because of height, age, and knees.
