easy way to steer your path to your primary target is by intentionally refusing to workout for a team that is interviewing you that would rub any org the wrong way esp given the limit of ten this time...just speculating

PG Kira Lewis Jr's stock is rising, perhaps even surpassing Tyrese Haliburton. He's faster, a better shooter and has good lead-guard skills. Heard Pistons may even be looking at #7.

What makes you believe that Kira is a better shooter than Rese'? The stats certainly do not show this.

There were a couple mentions of the King’s being interested (Hawks too). I don’t see the fit with Fox. He is more like a replacement for Fox if you trade him.

Kira is most definitely not the shooter or passer Halliburton is. But I hope some top ten team takes him. Means better prospects at 12 for Sac.

Windhorst reporting that Wiseman doesn't want to go to MIN. Not sure how much that matters though.

Hali is terrible shooting off the dribble and it takes too long to get off, Kira's shot profile is much more diverse.

my first thought when I read that was he wasn't anyway so why did he say it...I am thinking he might be a tad overconfident in his draft stock

Lol that’s not true. People are saying there is a consensus top 3 and Haliburton is consensus 4. Lewis is rising, but not a ridiculous amount. The higher teams looking at him are wanting to trade back.

Spurs worked out Deni Avdija. It’s possible they’re trading up.

Derrick White, Murray or Demar on the move?

The Heat are apparently really into Grant Riller, maybe even as the 20th pick. If that’s the case Nunn is probably gone.

Isnt Grant Riller just Kendrick Nunn?

It seems like Miami is trying to be vague. Rumor is they also really like Immanuel Quickley too.

Not sure if these have already been posted but:

Pistons apparently love Hampton.
Knicks love Ball.
Chicago loves Avdija.

Timberwolves execs recently flew out to Las Vegas. Tyler Bey is from Vegas and he projects to be a guy who can fit next to a Towns on O and be a boon to their defense.

Word on the street suggests that Wiseman doesn't want to go to Minnesota for obvious reasons.

I thought Chicago is looking for a playmaker, apparently haliburton or hayes at that range?

Avdija is a two-way playmaker.

Where did you hear Knicks like Ball? I’ve been hearing for months they haven’t been high on him and there are people in the organization who are strongly against drafting him.

Plus as someone who knows Thibs pretty well I can guarantee it’s a terrible match up.

Do not overdraft Euroleague bench warmers, recent history should have taught this lesson.
