Tie b/t Deni Avdija 19-10-4 & Camara, 18-4-3 with very tough defense\hustle in 39min

It seems to me that Camara plays much better when paired with Avdija. Guess that is a statement/question if others see it differently...

Certainly seems like their energy feeds off each other. I still think Camara is likely best as a 6th/7th man off the bench, and pairing Deni (@ PF) with a shooting SF would seem to be the best path forward IMO.

If POR ends up picking in 6-7-8 range I think you could see them looking at guys like Tre Johnson, Liam McNeeley, Kon Kneuppel, Egor Demin (if he drops) although his shooting is not where it needs to be, but that has not stopped them before (I question whether they think shooting is important) or a guy like Asa Newell, a PF meaning Deni @ SF, again not ideal IMO. Of course, Ace Bailey would be great\maybe ideal if they were lucky enough to draft him and if they end up @ #1/#2 you take Flagg\Harper and rearrange from there.
