The guy is a perfect candidate to replace Anunoby down the line as an SF who lives on the baseline although he has shown flashes from the top of the arc there is no guarantee he will be a SG but if we want OG here long term he makes zero sense despite posters saying "there is room for him on the bench".
Drafting him or Leonard Miller only makes sense to me if we’re moving Siakam for Scoot.

We need to pray for Cason Wallace because he is hands down not only BPA but also can fit into the framework of our team no matter what style we want to play due to his versatility as an on-off ball guy and multi-positional defender. Cason is still being underrated and undervalued by most people in the draft community and not because of injury concerns. If those concerns are real it will be very unfortunate but if he's good to go he's a no-brainer pick at 13. He is a complete player and the concerns about his athleticism are unjustified he has solid burst and finds ways to get his shot off. He's a winner, period. Imagine if Marcus Smart had a reliable jump shot. That's where Wallace is at with even some more upside on top of that.

I went back and compared Bilal's video with the Thompson twins. Similar strengths and weaknesses. Bilal has better measurements. Bilal is younger. Bilal had better competition he played against and he's showing out in playoffs. Considering they're expected in top 10, possibly top 5, how high can Bilal actually go.

While there will undoubtedly be quality players available at 13, that doesn't necessarily mean we will get a quality player.

It's so funny how often this happens.
During the season when we're picking up these useless wins, posters are talking about "development" and "tanking isn't worth it" blah blah blah. Then when the draft comes, everyone wishes they were higher so we could draft better talent.
Not for anything, just thought I'd point that out.
