He's so mediocre. The Raps pick should be Cleanthony Early, Cleanthony Early, Cleanthony Early.

Capela is growing on me. Walking away with Capela & Inglis would be great.

Lockdown defender and the name James Harden have never been associated terms as far as I can remember.

Guys who I'd be happy with at #20:

Tyler Ennis
Kyle Anderson
Rodney Hood
Clint Capela
Adreian Payne
Elfrid Payton
KJ McDaniels
Kristaps Prozingis
Damien nglis
Bogdan Bogdonovic

No order, I'd be happy with any one of them being a part of our future. Obviously, one of them will be available, so I won't be mad on draft night. I trust Masai to take BPA, but there's a lot of guys that'll be available with our pick. We'll have a good player on our hands regardless.

A couple things to note:

- Joel Embiid will workout tomorrow (They're trying to keep this very lowkey for some reason according to Jonathon Givony)

- Dario Saric will only play in the NBA next season if he gets drafted by either the Cetics or Lakers

- According to the DRAFT GURU Jonathon Givony, Elfrid Payton has been the biggest surprise so far! And is his favorite sleeper. He's impressed a lot of people these last few weeks.

Great interview, great new details!

So half of the first round and your happy…?

Thats hilarious, ball-handling and quickness are rated the lowest too.

This guy has leaped into the first round almost. Anybody watch him play in college? He seems a bit undersized and overweight for a power forward tho.

Sounds like he was impressed by toronto brass in his interview.

I like him. He'll need to lose some weight and get a jumpshot but I think he could have a Brandon Bass type career/ceiling. Solid value for a second round pick.

Hell no. For two reasons.

1) no way I take Early with #20. Way, way, way better players available there.
2) He's a undersized tweener (6'7 SF/PF) and what he does is very, very replaceable. We could easily sign Wesley Johnson or Xavier Henry for the minimum and they'll come in and do exactly what Early does. Why should we waste a draft pick on him? He doesn't do anything well.

No thanks to Early.

A shot blocking big with potential and a big wing who can defend. Would be a great haul.
