Just dont want GS getting top 5 pick in the draft and Houston needs someone after they traded away Harden.

Plus I dont think Cade is transcendent prospect like AD Zion and would be happy with any of the top 4.


Houston can have Jalen Green.

1. Raptors - Cade
2. Rockets - Jalen Green
3. Minnesota - Suggs
4. Pistons - Mobley
5. Magic - Kuminga
6. OKC - Giddey
7. Cavs - Barnes
8. Magic - Keon or Jalen Johnson


I highly doubt that the kid from Australia goes 6th. He looks like Joe Ingles 2.0 with a broken jumper.

sure I'd love #1 but I'd be super happy with 4 as well. Anything in the top 4 is a huge win

If you look at most mock drafts Barnes is most likely going 6th. He's pretty much 6th - 9 on every board. I'd bet on Barnes being 6th

The more I watch Jalen Johnsons highschool stuff the more I realize Duke was misusing him in their schemes. This guy is a legit point forward. Scottie Barnes type skill set with better shooting. But with Duke he was not getting that kind of freedom.

I hope Masai looks at Jalen. After the top 5 he's imo one of the better prospects in that 6-14 range.

I remember the Bargnani draft and it was a weak draft to have #1. There was no guy. I would rather win #4 this year than #1 that year. That draft had Bargnani, Adam Morrison, Tyrus Thomas all in the top 4. 3 busts in the top 4.

I'm all for blowing it up, I don't think we will be a playoff team next year either.

BK
Philly
Bucks
Knicks
Hawks
Heat
Celtics
Hornets

Which of those teams is falling or trending down? none really. We need a superstar from the draft and keep lowry. only chance. Lose lowry and sign anyone else? still not as good as any of those teams

Yup, and outside of Detroit and probably Orlando if anyone you didn't list has a good off season they could easily pass the non Lowry Raptors.

He is definitely really interesting. These prospects who go to these prestige programs with long time coaches usually have to fit into the existing system rather than being put in a position to be their best selves. It's why college production really isn't that important especially when you're discussing the top guys.

I kinda like him better than Barnes as I feel he he'll be the better scorer between the two while still having the same playmaking games. Barnes is the better defender tho.

Neither have the scoring prowess I desperately would like to see
