athletes suck, go for prospects with skills instead

at this level, you should be able to find an athlete with skills ...you can definitely trade for one that you've seen in action.

Potentially role for the season has allowed us to even have a chance at him. Calling it now.... He's going to be a riser in the draft.
Yeah I think I saw a mock that had him 6th recently (I think the Ringer), which is probably ambitious, but he definitely could rise.
My main goal is still hoping a center or guard drop to us, or trading the pick for good value. But if those two things don't come to fruition and they have to take BPA even if it is a wing, he is a guy I would definitely look at. He can play 4 and we don't really have a true backup 4 anyway. Not necessarily ideal, but if like Jakucionis, Sorber, Jase or Fears don't fall and they want to take BPA instead of reaching I wouldn't be mad at it, though I know many would be
For me I was like ... "Man.... If we came out with Sorber and Bryant ... That would be an awesome draft for me"
He gives me .... Tracy mcgrady vibes with his size, shooting, decent handles... Defensive capability... tracy McgradyToronto before he became T-Mac Orlando... Before people start losing their s***. Haha

I dont think we need more of those guys combined with the facts:
-KCP is solidly a "2".
-AB isn't a "point guard" 90% of the time.
-Suggs best year statistically was at "2"
If Orlando is actually looking at POINT GUARDS they need to be able to to POINT GUARD things.
I like Fears, but hes going top 10. A lot of his numbers dont WOW me, but he knows how to move the ball and operate a pnr.

Clayton is a little bigger than Steph. I don't see any problem with him being too small.ibraheim718 wrote:basketballRob wrote:Watching Steph Curry play makes me think we shouldn't pass on Clayton.

Man I would even reach for Clayton.
I was thinking Sorber and Clayton.ibraheim718 wrote:Oh dip I also see the team taking Walter Clayton Jr with their 2nd pick. Clayton at 25 is absolute robbery.
A Clayton Clifford draft would be insane. I don't know where that would leave Black though. He would be fighting for minutes. This is a great draft.

If both are available at 16, who would you rather want?

Has a high basketball IQ and can find open teammates … Always has the ball on the last possession of a tight game … He is clutch in late game situations when his team needs him most … Good defensive player. On defense he always has active hands and is looking for deflections and takeaways, which can turn into easy fats break points … An explosive leaper who has converted some impressive dunks in senior season …
