ugly gap between 11 and 12

Read on Twitter

Really seems like the earlier tier end at 11.

hope teams have different tiers

I am enamored with Vukčević near 7 footer that shoots 40% on threes I can see Sam drafting he in the second. Only fault i see he is a little slow fitted. Might be another joker for us but that's a big stretch. Still think he is a real sleeper.

If we stay at #12 , we are going to reach for someone .

So long as the guy manage to be a rotational player down the line I really don’t have a preference compared to past seasons.

[Big nick]

Our high priority will be height and 3 pt shooting.

You would hope so.

I think this is a valued spot to trade down, if we're looking for a rotation level player, what about a 12 for 21/22 BKN + Xplayer , or make a play to BKN for Claxton with some of our other players and picks ?

If we trade down I doubt we get more first from this draft .

Sole Brooklyn player that intrigue me is cam Johnson . Don’t think Bridge is available.

I'm way more optimistic about our chances to move up (and maybe add a second FRP in the 16-22 range) than in any of the last two drafts. It just makes too much sense for us to cash on some of our future picks ASAP and I don't think we will make big trades for established players.

I agree with this I just don't see Sam going in big for older vets.

I hope they get Jarace somehow and then get Ben Sheppard at the start of the 2nd

I have no clue who I want us to draft tbh but I like almost every guy projected in the top 8 or 9. Dick maybe a bit less even if he can be an elite role player and he will be a great fit in OKC.

I would love to get another FRP in the 16-22 range to draft one of Bufkin, Miller or Lively (depending on who is gonna fall)

I don't know Sheppard at all but Presti has to draft Jaylin Williams with pick #37.

Seems Jaylin will be undrafted so we can make a swing at 50 but doubt he got the skill set we want .

Moving up from 37 to 18-25 seems like something we can do. There’s a fair bit of Presti arch type there .

There's value in the top of the second too. Sheppard is a great shooter who showed out at the combine scrimmages. Bobi Klintman who has a promise from one team. I'm also still really interested in Mike Sharavjamts, plus size forward with point guard skills and a bit of a shot. Just seems really Thunder-y and I hope they can get him on a two way. Would be a lot of continuity between him and Giddy if he were to come off the bench imo

Would love for us to turn the no 12 pick and if need be the 2 2nd round picks for 2 lower picks to pick GG Jackson and Dereck Lively.

I thought we are the only young team who could afford to give GG Jackson the playing time he needs, less responsibility, and swing for the fence play as he is such a high risk high reward player (but I truly believe our team has the development track record to fulfill his potential).

Dereck Lively former highschool top 5 pick, maybe misused in college, maybe underperforming 1 year as with the 2 other top 5 RSCI duke guys (fluke year). Size and athleticism, and per his interviews I think he has a good head on his shoulder. I think with him in the lineup we can be more versatile in utilizing Chet.

I'd say more similar to Dieng. The Daily Thunder Podcast did a long draft breakdown and as soon as I head them talking about him I just had a feeling that this is the guy we're going to take.

might be a reach at 12 but I like him more than Dieng

I want to move up and get a guy like Hendricks but won't be mad if we end up with him at 12.

[Dadouv47]

I really like the SF/SG depth in the 11-20 range...I wouldn't mind getting a second FRP. I have no clue if I would rather move up from 12 to 8 or 9 or get a second FRP in the 16-18 range (we can afford to do both )

[Big nick]

I would way rather move up but maybe Sam is going to spend some picks to get another pick. I still really like Tristan Vukčević in the second round. I can see some joker in him.
