I think Kasp has serious consideration at 9.

He’s not a staunch defender but he has the skillset our FO loves in a player. Big playmaker that can handle the ball.

My guess is we're trading the pick, either as a part of a package for a veteran upgrade, or in a trade down scenario in which case the FRP who is on our roster this summer is someone we're not focussed on. If I'm wrong, and we keep the pick for our own purposes, I'd go with KM if he's available, or Essengue.

i like him as a prospect but i don't like fit on our team. We need more shooting, putting him next to Poetlt and Scottie isn't going to be good for his development.

What's the difference between him and Banton?

The only choice here is Queen or reaching for a good role player like Fleming. Bryant has a high bust potential and will likely leave the league before his contract is up.

Quite frankly, it's embarrassing for RealGM Raps that Carter Bryant won and got 30% of the vote. I tried to tell you all he wasn't a Masai-type FRP before Oakley started this thread. Listen to me next time.

Also embarrassing that CMB only got 3 votes.

People wish to draft for fit.
I wasn't surprised for drafting someone who can create, since the purpose of us tanking is to get a creator with 2 way potential.

Here's what I've actually said, since 2024 and consistently through 2025:

Huh? This links to one of your posts. How does this have anything to do with me and Queen?

If you want my opinion on Queen vs CMB though:

I will admit I did not vote for CMB. I strategically voted for Essengue because I didn't want Carter Bryant to win the poll, and those 2 were the main vote getters from the start of the thread.

Who do you think Masai will select in the second round?

Adou Thiero if he drops, otherwise I have no idea.
