Very similar with Lendeborg in terms of measurement. I saw Lendeborg having some kind of ball handling, but I would also go with the one with better quickness.

Liked Brazile for a while. Very foul prone though. But he has talent to be a rotation bench piece for sure. I'd expect he'd go mid 2nd.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

I'm not sure. His handles are not as good yet either. He reminds me of a Zach Lavine who tries on defense.

One thing to note, Brazile has had a couple of "incidents" that suggest immaturity, and may not endear him to our front office (depending on whether or not Bobby has the same character requirements as Masai).

What people think about De'Shayne Montgomery?
Seems to have turnover issue last year, but his turnover rate for this year seems to be better (maybe less competitive?).
His defense and shooting seem to be very good for a combo guard, but perhaps unlikely to be a point guard?

Not the sexiest pick, but would be a solid addition. I thought the same thing about Maxime Raynaud last year, but we decided to add to our glut of two-guards for some reason (Alijah is fine, but wasted on this team).

What about Bennett Stirtz..this team could use an on-ball guard off the bench who can dribble and shoot

Is he a taller Tyler Kolek? or more athletic Steve Nash 2.0?

Veesaar! He would be great to succeed Poeltl. Though, I would see Veesaar being drafted late lottery.

I know it's not fair to compare white guys to white guys, but I'm looking at Tyler Herro, TJ McConnell, Kon Knueppel, Austin Reaves..all players who may not excel on defense, but can pass, score, dribble and shoot (aside from McConnell - not a great shooter)

I have Joshua Jefferson and Solo Ball and Cayden Boozer for my 2nd round pick candidates.

Not many big PG (6'3+) in the 2nd round that I feel would worth a spot. I think we are either looking for a PG in the 1st round or a PF/C like Yaxel Lendeborg. I am more against take a freshman these years, as it doesn't work out most of the time.

This is the scouting report of Joshua Jefferson, feels he is like James Johnson lite (without elite athleticism)

I guess he could replace Mogbo (if traded away).

Lendeborg looks like a solid choice at like 6'10 with a 7'4 wingspan to start backing up PF and C so CMB plays more SF only. He'll be like 23 1/2 at the draft.

My current preference list at each of our picks:

22) Carr/ Lendeborg / Acuff / Veesaar / Philon / Stirtz / Anderson / Ngongba
52) Thornton / Sharp / Brazile / Tomislav / Knox
57) Reed / Johnson / L'Etang
