I get tired of these scenarios where okc had everyone in the world against them.

We didn’t trade SGA . I consider that a win.

I agree but the instant justification for the reach is kind of silly. Just say “Okc thinks Josh is a top 5 player and they were thrilled to get him” I said there were very few scenarios that would disappoint me and although I didn’t expect Giddey, I’m cool with it.

OK so 1st think given GSW's interest, even it being a reach is off. And he's solid. Playmaking wing who can take some pressure off SGA and seems like Vecenie thinks he can shoot someday too. Bouknight had some big flags himself and I'd tried to sell myself more. Giddey's not perfect either but think it's a solid pick.

Oh and Brandon gets to interview him :D.

Kuminga was the obvious pick. Bouknight may end up being a great player but he was overrated by most Thunder fans.

Maybe we still end up with Bouk if we trade for 11? Does he slide even more?

Giddey is a decent prospect, he performed really well in the NBL which is much tougher than college ball. LaMelo looked just ok in the NBL and got ROTY.

I think most of his weaknesses will be easily corrected since he is only 18.

Not sure why many want Bouk and Moody. They are score only players that dont make the guys around them better, one with zero defense and the other only a project there. Not sure what seperates them from Springer or Grimes.

I think Springer and Garuba would make this an A+ draft. Springer can play on and off ball, nice high release on a workable jumper, crafty around the rim, nice defensive potential, elite measurables, young. Garuba the switchy big who can hit a corner 3, just a bit short.

want Sengun. Moody would be fine as consolation price (probably won't get any of them)
