Draftheads - where you at?

I'm only leaving out the four I'm pretty sure will be gone (Flag, Harper, VJ, Tre). Would not shock me if any of the others fall.
Also - the more I dive into this draft I realize that there is not a huge gap between 5 and 20 so the list of possible selections is pretty long.
I would have entered more names but max poll is 10.

Bailey will not be available at 9. Have to go with Maluach at this point.

Kon if he's there or Carter Byrant. If neither are there then Cedric Coward, but it is not like I'm some kind of scout. I'm just guessing based on very little.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Honestly, I don't watch enough college ball and have full trust in Masai's scouting ability to pick the right player. I save my analysis hat for nba transactions lol

One of Bryant or Maluach

I didn’t vote Ace because I don’t think he fall to 9.

If Fears is there. If not Maluach. If Mal is gone, Carter is top of my list atm.

Draft is a crapshoot, man. Let Masai sort it out. Are we even keeping our pick? If not, then I don't even care who we pick, you know?

Mal is still top of my board. But a lot of guys I really like after. Kon would potentially be this drafts Desmond Bane imo. I really like Bryant/Coward/Fleming as well, though not sure you pass up on the Duke prospect for their potential. Tough call.

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Could only fit 9 and other. CMB was a contender for 9, but honestly, such a terrible fit for this team.

Why is Queen there then? CMB is better than Queen at everything that Queen does well so he's a better fit than him.

im always hesitant because how many small scoring guards are leading playoff teams? is fears lillard? impossible to project i know but even someone like trae isnt running powerhouses.

i think you take the best role guy or the highest upside big pg or sg/sf/pf as they have more impact. outlier would be maluach who could be a defensive cornerstone.

He's a 3 level scorer, gets into the paint at will and is essentially 6'4 in shoes not sure that qualifies as small

Carter Bryant.

Highly doubt Maluach will be available at 9. Regardless, I would still take Bryant.

He's the kind of shooter that could win ROY if his shooting 100% translates right away, but I want nothing to do with Kon Knueppel and hope he is gone by nine. He's the one guy mocked early that I don't want to see on the raptors.
