I’m adding Hawkins to my list if main guys dont drop. With Nurse gone wouldnt mind him. Not only a release valve but the kid can add an offensive flow to an offense which is what we need. Can run through a ton of screens and actions and still be square to let it fire. Raps looking at the next wave now with players fitting scottie’s timeline better. Great fit there.

I'm just praying OKC doesn't take him just before us (smh which is such a Raptor like thing to happen) but I think I'm locked in on wanting to draft Coulibaly. That frame & athleticism, it's like Scottie frame at SF but more leaping ability & bit cleaner jumper. You get those 2 developed like we did anything like Pascal & OG, they'll be a force.

At this point I'm just praying the buzz doesn't get so loud he jumps up like Hendricks (or more).

I like Trayce Jackson-Davis in the late second round too. Would love to move off Boucher/Porter/Flynn to get him to play the bench 4

This guy is probably the safest pick in the draft. Trayce Jackson-Davis put up (probably) the best numbers in college, is a great athlete, and has an obvious NBA role. His floor is to be an energy big along the lines of Dwight Powell or Brandon Clarke, perhaps with a side of Mason Plumlee. Does he have potential to be more than that? Who knows. I fully expect a good team to take him late in the first round, though, and plug him into their rotation.

I think he's in between Antonio Davis and Dale Davis with more passing skills. He averaged more assists than JHS with a slightly better A/T.

He played well vs Edey and Dickinson, so can play C in the NBA. I think he could be at least as good as Xavier Tillman, Jaylin Williams and Dwight Powell.

Tillman and Williams were elite defenders in college, switching really well and quarterbacking great defences. I haven't seen that from THD, who has been on one good defence in his 4 years. He can score, but I think a poor man's Clarke is probably about right. Backup PF who can only play with a shooting center, or smallball center from a team that is big on the wing and at guard like Powell has been when Dallas had better defenders like Finney-Smith around.
