Do you really think that we ll draft someone better than our 7th best player?

I don't think so

I never see his name mentioned in mocks. He looks like a pro to me but I only seen him play a few times. Wonder if this tournament performance raises him to late first round.

I think so, especially considering how the Gators will most likely have a deep run in the tournament, he'll have all eyes on him.

Sucks, but he's a good player

What is that like Wendell or TDS? God I would hope they could at 15, I would hope they even would have a decent chance at 25.

I don't think the guards I want will make it to 15 though so I am pretty OK trading that 1st pick and taking a couple of shots with the Nuggets pick and a 2nd.

Could see late 1st early 2nd. I think a factor at play here is some of the guys in mocks will go back to school because NIL money is pretty good these days, so a senior like Clayton can rise because of that as well. One of the reasons I think this draft could end up being less deep than I currently think it is.

Clifford again, Great fit, nice 7th/8th man on the bench

Uconn Florida was fun.

Clayton good again.

Mcneeley is really underwhelming to me. I don't really understand the lottery buzz that has sustained most of the year. Shows potential as a movement shooter, could definitely see a high level role player. These shooting only mediocre defense players just are falling out of favor in my eyes.

Karaban seems similar, but even more stiff movement with less offense, slightly more defense. I don't love the potential fit of either here.

Solo Ball (awesome name) had a bad game, but looks like an obvious eventual NBA player to me.

I have no clue what to think of Condon.

Clayton looked like Steph out there at the end. The dagger 3 was vintage Curry ball. He would immediately be our best guard on offense day one.

Duke just filtering people into Flagg and Maluach in the paint. You either take a tough mid range or tough floater. It's going to take a guard having a crazy pullup game to beat them in this.

And Proctor's escape dribble 3 is pretty crazy right now.

Its really simply why. Baylor might have that big body Omier but he is the tallest in their team at 6'7. That's why they can just let Mal or Pat handle any Baylor penetration.

Proctor is who had my eye one ever since his rookie year. His sophomore year took a dive but this junior year he improved again.

Clayton Jr is looking incredible lately, especially that 3pt shot! He could be our Payton Pritchard pick.

Dude was a few letters into the logo and nailed a 3 on his first shot. It was incredible.

Man, Derik Queen called game.

Dude is so freaking skilled, but that motor is so questionable. Nonchalant personified.

Nique is a 2/3 at 6’6

Suggs (2)
KCP (2/3)
AB (1/2)
G Harris (2/3)
Jett (2/3)
Franz (3/4)
TDS (3/4)
Houstan (4/3)

How is he a 7/8th man off the bench? No minutes for a wing unless a trade is made. He’s also 23/24 so you don’t draft him if he isn’t playing minutes.

I'm not that impressed watching him, has a solid whiff of lumbering to him

Are we really looking at drafting somebody in the mid first round and 26th pick? If somebody fits our timeline, sure. But why not package the draft picks and assets for someone who can elevate this team further. That is just my opinion

KillMonger · Post #379 » by **KillMonger** » Mon Mar 24, 2025 6:01 am

Why? Because we're at a talent deficit and no one seems to be breaking down doors to get here.... I'm down for whatever we have to do to get more talent in here....if the way to do that is the draft so be it

Trade will be made, and if you think Harris will be here next season I don't know what to say to you.

We r gonna draft (if we use our picks) a bench player, NOT a starter

What should we do?
