If we are going to keep winning, looks like we'll miss the playoffs barely or maybe sneak in at 8. What players would even be available to us with a late pick?

Smh, I just hate this idea of not using this year to get a high pick, especially since there's no way we're striking it big in FA either.

Why can't we strike it big in the draft? Giannis was the 15th pick, Gobert 27th, Lavine 13th pick, Jokic 41st, Booker 13th, Turner the 11th.

Huh? I said strike it big in Free Agency (FA).

And none of those are high picks which is what we're looking at at the moment with out record. That's why I'm asking who are some college players we might be looking at that can possibly fall to us and make a big impact

I know you meant striking it big in free agency but you're also pretty much saying we can't strike it big in the draft. And I know none of those players are high picks which is what we won't have(a high pick).

My literal second sentence was asking who we can pick up with a late pick. It was my entire purpose for posting. I think you are trying to now read further into what I specifically wrote because you misinterpreted my initial post (even thinking I said strike it big in the draft as opposed to FA which is what I actually typed).

Another poster understood what I said and answered already though. No need to continue.

Harry Giles
Robert Williams

Ivan Rabb


I feel like I've seen Harry Giles mentioned a ton. But maybe I'm just thinking about him being mentioned often on here. Doesn't seem likely he'll fall to us if he's that big of a name though.

He was expected to go early in the draft, but he's had persistent injuries since high school, knee surgeries etc, and hasn't performed well in his first year of college. Robert Williams is a good all around PF. Ivan Rabb is very good on the boards and defense, but doesn't stretch the floor. Last year he almost came out of Berkeley for the draft but stayed a year. The Berkeley team isn't as good as last year's edition. TJ Leaf plays with Lonzo Ball at UCLA. Fun player.

It's not a bad crop. There are others too.

Russel would be better off as a 2 (Offensively, I guess) that'd be an interesting pairing. His dad's a troll, no need to entertain him anymore. Lakers might be too big of a stage for Ball, wouldn't be fair to him

He's just a name at this point. Hasn't done anything significant in a while.

For the season, 18 games in, he's got 19 combined blocks/steals/assists. He basically just grabs rebounds for Duke.
