If Wiseman Edwards and lamelos off the board Cole is my guy.

A PG that can shoot and control the tempo would be a dream. I think Cole can provide both of those.

Only thing I’m worried about is his size (although pesky defender) and his lack of “slipperiness”

UNC spacing sucks. Bet he plays better in the NBA.

Totally agree. Especially on the size part.

Given our current position in lottery and in the top 3. Would you trade Mitch for a shot at Cole Anthony?

I don’t think I would. I’m pretty low on Cole. But I know a lot of people are high on him cause of his high school stuff so I could be wrong on him.

Hear you.

All of the freshmen this year came in underwhelming. But it could be that a few will be late bloomers and Cole, with his wet jumper can be one of them. If we were to fall out of the 3 spot, I would trade back and take a flyer on him.

Watch on YouTube

Bro, you see how many posters are on team Cole, after we discussed him?

A lot of people are down on this draft, but we can't go wrong if one of LaMelo, Haliburton, Cole, or Edwards end up as Knicks. I don't see a Ja or Zion, but a lot of really good players.

yeah. that's the same list i got. our guard rotation is so bad it will be an improvement no matter what if we get one of those guys.

I’m hoping we draft wiseman and considering trading RJ for Lamelo.

How do rj and Edwards fit though. They both are best with the ball in there hand. And you then have to make rj your 3

This is where if Wiseman/LaMelo go 1 and 2 and Edwards is on the board, where I would trade down to say the 5th spot.
In my observation RJ and Edwards play the same position as Barrett (6'6") shooting guard, at the 3 RJ will be undersized in today's game. Facing the likes of the Siakams (6'9") and Tatums (6'8") regularly.

But RJ is ahead of the curve as his shooting numbers are up including his free throw percentages. But also he has an edge in Edwards as far as his tenacity, which we have been witnessing.

Also this is RJ's draft profile on NBADraftRoom.com

Defensively he can guard 4 positions and he plays with intensity. He is quick to react to the ball and uses his length well to pester the ball handler and play the passing lanes.

A competitor who steps up in big moments, Barrett is at his best with the game on the line or when facing a high level of competition. He seems to have that it factor that separates the great players from the good players.

This year another 3rd pick and an Edwards slot can offer us additional picks plus still a shot at either Halliburton and Cole Anthony.

I don't know about that since he wasn't that high on T.Young or L.Doncic to be as good as they are.

Yeah i'm all about going guard in this draft especially PG but of course you gotta add Wiseman in there and we can't overlook how good Obi Toppin is even if we don't have as big a need at F. I think he's got a real good chance of being the next Al Horford type player.

This is a joke, right? I said COUNTLESS times he was the best SG prospect since Roy, if not Wade. Even with my major defensive concerns for Trae (which were 100% spot on), I still ended up with him in my second tier. I probably did undervalue Trae's passing and shooting, but I still said he was damn good, if not elite, in both.

This is from the Luka scouting report I sent on 6/25/2018 to someone with the Wolves.

Can someone proved to me that Wiseman will be a generational talent, who's all around game: defense, inside and outside shooting will translate. Wiseman's outside shot is suspect and requires work and I'm not sure if Mitchell Robinson is not a better defender already.

Even if we're #1, trading it will not be a bad idea in this particular draft if it gets us #4 or 5. LaMelo while a great passer and dribbler (think Ricky Rubio), it's not a generational talent either.

We should continue to develop Mitch.

Personally, with a #1, I would look at getting another team's assets: Sacramento, Hornets and Kings can all use a Center.

Mark Jackson is a trash coach. I don’t know why people keep bringing this man up. Mans a straight up weirdo.
