But no trade and keeping our 3 picks with perhaps Moody in the mix would also be ok.

Sengun falling that far would be a nice consolation for getting six instead of top 4-5.

thought you didn't like Sengun

Not at six. I’m fine with Sengun and even Keon Johnson at at 16 but not six.

Right now Presti is trying to get some protection on the lac 2022 pick and some future thunder pick for Mobley

...or he's trying to see who he can pick with #36 and who offers the most money for #55.

Unpopular opinion coming…but if it’s a kings ransom to get from 6 to 3, I would be ok trying to get a kings ransom from Memphis. Trade back to ten for JJJ, take whoever falls to ten. Then use 16, 18 and whatever else to try to get a second pick in the range. JJJ and some combination of Moody, Garuba, Giddey, sengun, Kuminga or whoever else falls.

Pretty sure Presti wants to draft Bouknight at 6 but I don't even know who I want between him & Kuminga

less than an hour to go. still hoping for a trade up for Mobley or Suggs.

if not I'd be ok with Bouknight or Wagner

Still hope we draft Kuminga even if I think it's almost a lock Presti draft Bouknight.

Huge chance of Kuminga being a bust but I just don't see Bouknight becoming a VERY good player.

Since we are a small group, I locked the other two sticky threads so we can just put all posts here for the next couple hours.

JJJ scares me and excite me all the same.
But essentially that’s taking 3 stabs to see which of JJJ / 10 / 16+18 are keepers long term.

Wagner at 6 ?

really smart player on both ends, good size and athleticism. think he has untapped offensive potential. still only 19.

Sorry had a long night (where I’m at) to clear some work stuff . Read Wagner but thought of kispert.

Yea I’m ok with staying at 6 and taking a younger draft pick.

I wouldn't be surprised if our #16 or 18 pick turns out better than #6.

Some of the prices were outrageous to me but if you 90% legit think he’s going be a star , that’s just a slight overpay.
