Either Barnes or other player. Went with Barnes though. I'm actually much more excited for the 8th pick in all honesty. Some of the projected players in that range excite me more than the 5-6 picks.

Bouknight?Moody?

Both. I like what both can potentially bring to this team. I would be okay with reaching for one of them to secure them if Weltman and Hammond felt strongly about them. Than we can grab someone like Barnes, Sengun, Giddey, etc, with the second pick. That Bulls pick could be really useful if WeltHam do their homework.

Moodys been my favorite player in this draft outside the top 4 throughout most this offseason, but ive really started to like Bouknight and would be thrilled if we drafted him at 8. Not even joking when i say he would leave this team in scoring as a rookie, especially if Fultz is 100% and starts the season as the starter. If fultz is out, then cole likely leads the team in ppg

Begrudgingly Kuminga.

Bouknight can likely be taken at 8.

assuming no trades, Im on Bouknight. I dont think he lasts until 8. What you are hoping Kuminga can develop into, Bouknight is already there and proven it. Then we can get Moody, Jalen Johnson, maybe Barnes falls down. But Bouknight has proven he is a 3 level scorer. Kuminga is someone that is athletic but cant shoot and very raw. Havent we seen enough of those lately that didnt pan out?

I love Trade-Up. I hear he has great upside.

get Bouknight and another scorer at 8, no more projects who cant shoot free throws or 3s. this team needs an a true ISO scorer, and we have 2 chances at it. otherwise we will never get a true 20PPG volume scorer to come here in free agency.

Yup. This is possibly the best outcome.

I’d actually be ok with Bouknight/Moody as an outcome if Orlando cannot move up and they can trade back to get them both.

Why is everyone suddenly so high on Bouknight? Just because of his pro day?

He has an elite skill set as a proven scorer/shooter coming after Jalen Green as you go down the list. He has a history with Cole Anthony.

He’s not really a stretch at 8, but maybe at 5.

A couple mocks had him going 8 prior to pro day, some still have him as a mid first round pick. I'll be surprised if they don't start mocking Sengun in the top 8 soon.

Suggs. I don't think it is unreasonable that one of the projected top four get jumped by Kuminga or Barnes.

I was never high on Kuminga or drafting another project player who we hope can learn how to shoot at the next level. Cade, Green, and Suggs are already polished scorers/play makers that dont need to learn to shoot/dribble/create offsense.

And now with our draft slot, we most likely wont get any of them. So I am still on board with drafting true scorers/play makers, and Bouknight is #1 IMO in that second tier and his stock is just rising.

If Bouknight is the target, why not move to 7 and 14. Let GS pick from the top 5. Bouknight@7
Moody@8 and at 14 take a shot at Sengun or J.Johnson if available.
