Neither Bagley or Bamba are in the class of Davis/Embiid/Towns as prospects.

Disagree. I think Bamba could be Anthony Davis + a couple inches.

Could be, but he isn't close to Davis as an offensive player and he's been lazy on defense all night.

Bamba has been lazy? he was in foul trouble for half the game and had to defend with 4 fouls for half the game.

BAgley just doesn't do it for me no matter how much he scores.

Is our first round pick we are sending to Phoenix lottery protected? Does it have to be our 2018 first rounder?

I want Bamba so hard. Texas being absolute garbage could drop him a few spots. Let's go get that BK pick from Cleveland.

Minnesota and Alabama ranked??? Thought Sexton was playing for Nick Saban when I first saw that.

Kidd finishing the season or one big Giannis or Bledsoe injury and they're picking top ten.

Would you rather have another rashad Vaughn/DJ Wilson/Thon + cash or Bledsoe?

I'm still saying Bledsoe.

Good point. I need to take into consideration that we'd likely botch the draft pick anyhow.
