But thats a pipe dream .....Id hope for a 20 win season if it meant next year we have a chance at picking this guy up...Would change our whole projection in the future...Hes the type of player you need to win you championships...Hes one of them ones...

Realistic player in the teens for me would be Colin Murray-Boyles, Dink Pate, JT Toppin and Zvonimir Ivisic.
New players I'm not sure of.

I got a feeling we're getting Dink Pate. Having a dink and a dick will be absolutely epic.

While I don’t agree with him being built like Bosh or Giannis, more TMac but Ace (and VJ) are my favourites so far. I favour Ace by a very slim margin only because I think they’re relatively equal prospects but Ace is at a position of need (SF) but VJ reminds me a ton of DWade/Ant. I’m still interested to see what Malauch looks like but I’d love to get a top SF that would blend perfectly into our lineup most.
I think realistically though unless we fluke into the top 4, we’ll more so be looking at players like Drake Powell, Jalil Bethea, Karter Knox, Egor Denim, Liam McNeely, Noa etc

I still like Zvonomir Ivisic with a late teens early 20's pick over Maluach with a top 10 pick.

They both in the same player archetype for a 5 man but Maluach is 3 whole years younger on draft night so if they are even relatively close to the same level of player this season I think that's enough to justify the pick difference

Maluach has no semblance of an outside shot. Perhaps he'll be a slightly taller and bigger Derrick Lively?
