I love Demin’s game. He’s a unique player.

Pairing $125 expiring in Seth and potentially my unprotected 2028 1st for an immediate upgrade. Depending on who is available, maybe also a promising prospect like Cason Wallace but only for legit offers.

Really torn between taking a safer player or swinging for the fence with this late pick. In years past while building the team I’d always swing, but can’t get enough good role players

Will be heading out for the night in a few minutes, was hoping to get ahead of the draft before I left. Everything that I have should be updated. I have Boston's board for pick #20. OKC has pick #21...please submit a top 3 if I don't get a chance to update picks tonight and the Nets do submit a pick before their time expires.

Will be home most of the day tomorrow and will update anything that comes in tonight as soon as I get a chance.

This draft more than ever, it's going to depend on where some of these prospects end up in terms of their development. I think there's going to be a ton of role players emerging from this draft. A lot of upside guys who career will start behind the 8ball based on who drafts them.

Egor's playmaking is incredible, but he struggled at everything in college on the offensive end. Can a team turn him into a Livingston?
Wolf is he cuts down on the turnovers can be a real force off a bench, that way he isn't consistently abused on defense.
Beringer I was considering at both picks to double down a rim running big man.
Jazz: Under reconstruction, we'll be back.
