Moody isn't score only, he's a defender. Would be very happy if he were there.

I know trades a speculation is fun, but if the Thunder couldn’t move into the top three without giving up SGA and multiple first rounders, then just sit back and enjoy this draft. I have a good feeling that they will get at least two solid rotation players tonight.

Ya that was an odd take. I get the Bouknight criticism but Moody is well rounded.

I'm guessing the 16th pick will be a player that's 25th+ on most mocks. Presti special.

My only concern is we are seriously about to start devaluing our picks if we don’t consolidate but that’s a discussion for another day.

I certainly won’t argue with that and I don’t want to see Presti hang on to his stash in perpetuity waiting for the perfect deal to come along. That said, maybe it just wasn’t in the cards this time around.

I just seem more projection with Moody than actual defensive IQ. He has the athleticism and length but I think he stood out due to that on defense more than IQ. Someone like Barnes has both. Doesnt mean he wont get better, wasnt trying to imply he was a chump on D.

I probably overreacted to the Giddey pick. I hope he lives up to his potential. Still alot of good prospects left.

We may get Sengun OR Moody. If we don't get any of them... :(
