Would love to add Cam Christie but it’s the same role Max plays. And we have so many areas to fill and change.
As for Bona, love the energy and defense but guy cannot shoot from outside and not enough of rebounder for me to love.
Believe at 17, we will have an opportunity to draft a great piece like EDEY/Holmes, smart leaders that can play both ends.

The Duke guy McCain seems like a decent prospect as we could always use competent shooting. I hope we can get Da Silva but I doubt he slips past Miami at 15.

It should free up a pick every year from 2025-2030 to use in a bigger deal

Are all players I'd prioritize with the 17th pick assuming we don't trade it. A couple of those are slotted to go before the 17th and a couple are slotted to go after but for the most part they're roughly in our mock range. These are all older upperclassman prospects who in theory should be able to contribute in some capacity to the parent roster by each providing a much needed skillset that our current depth lacks. I'll be excited if we nab one of them on Wednesday.

Lots of overlap with Reaves though...
