Looks like BJ Boston kept it up; finishing with 17-7-3 on 6-10 (4-5 from 3). If that BJ Boston shows up more often than not from here on out, he could easily still end up a lottery pick.

Though I still don't want it to be us

With this new coaching staff I can see them turning Boston into a beast. He can get stronger with no pressure to be the man from day one. He has been cooking lately. I said before there is to much talent to ignore even with how much of a bad start he had.

I can see the Boston haters start doing a 180 by draft time. Second round prospect? Nah he is still in play for the lottery.

It can go either way for him. It’ll come down to how he finishes out the season. He has the largest draft slot range in the draft. Anywhere from mid-lottery to early 2nd. But he def trending in the right direction at the right time.

Looking at those videos. Ziare seems like a more active Kevin Knox. With the biggest difference being he can create for himself using step backs and better defensive ability. He’s really slim, and not the best frame to add weight, but I wonder if he could be a potential Bullock replacement long term. Aka a 3&D but with the ability to create his own shot.

More active, more intelligent, springier, & a lot better at running PnRs/facilitating. Ziaire will take some time, but if he makes the progress he should, you'll be able to run some of your offense through him.

If you're looking for a 3&D guy in that range, then Moody is your dude.

[WargamesX]

Moody seems like he could be good, but I don’t think he has the highest ceiling in this class. He reminds me of Aaron Afflalo, a good solid all around wing who can get buckets if they are given even a little bit of space, but aren’t going to impose their will on a game.

He may not be much of a playmaker, but his ceiling is higher than AA. Moses can create his own shot and is a high-level shooter / defender.

My stance hasn't really changed. If we end up with two picks in that 8-12 range, I'm comfortable taking two out of the group of Moody, Ziaire, Kispert, and Bouknight.

Outside of Cade & Suggs, if we fall out of the top 3, I really don't think there's a PG worth picking in the lottery. And with IQ and D-Rose (he'll likely be re-signed) in the fold, I think Thibs and the front office will probably go the young veteran PG route for any other opening on the roster anyway.

I could see them probably game planning to make an offer to sign a versatile guy like Lonzo Ball, who can run either G spot and defend the way Thibs wants to.

So basically, if we land outside the top 3, I would not be surprised if they package our two 1sts and high 2nd to acquire Cade or Suggs. And if that isn't possible, they'd probably stand pat, make their picks using them on wings, and sign Ball.

This game is in less than a hour!

I am at work though

My ideal FA is Cade and Ziare or in the chance he slips Cade and Jalen Johnson.

Of that group I like Ziare the most, a 3&D who can create for himself on the Knicks would be ideal.

I would add the two kids from Tennessee to that list of people I'm intrigued about in that 8-12 range

[jvsimonetti0514]

Kuminga looks good right now. Really aggressive and just muscling his way to the rim.

[jvsimonetti0514]

not that it matters much but BJ Boston isn't in Tankathon's mock anymore

[TheGreenArrow]

We’re still in the Fade for Cade race but if we end up in the 8-12 range give me ZIARe & BJ folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jvsimonetti0514]

Why is jack playing in this game?

[jvsimonetti0514]

before this Arkansas game BJ Boston shot 2-11, 4-9, and 2-9. He's only shot above 40% from the field 6 of 18 games he's played in. He's not really even trending in the right direction really. There's no way in a million years that he's going to be drafted near the lottery.

[RandlesCornrows]

Nix looks pretty good for Ignite

[Huey Freeman]

Nix looking goood. He's going to have to trim down a little for the NBA.
