edit - Essengue Sorber Queen, or Fleming!


A bunch of mocks had Fleming lasting 25-30ish, so if the other 3 go (and Beringer) maybe a trade down for Fleming?

Not sure what PHX doing, seem very poorly run under new ownership.

OMG, did she just say Colin Cowherd instead of Cedric Coward? Malika was having a good night before that goof up.

Oh, no interest in Newell. I'd take Sorber, Queen, or Wolf. Wolf would be a solid pick and good fit with Saar. Could play some point center. Same with Queen.

Essengue to Chicago. I like that for them. A high upside guy for a team lacking any star power.

Not a good spot for him after they just got Mark Williams, though he'll play about 40 games.
Williams isn't particularly good and Maluach is too raw to be their only C all year.

Their centers last season basically nuked any chance of success they had. Taking multiple bites at the apple to fix it makes sense to me.

Nets fans must be really pissed getting Demin at 8. Worst pick so far .

Would be nice. But I’d be real happy with Sorber or Wolf too. We need a little beef on our roster.

Essengue, Queen, Jakucionis, Bryant, Sorber

We are going to get a good player at 18

Here’s hoping their centers next year lead to a lot of lottery balls
Making extreme statements like "only" sounds like there are "no" Jokics in this draft? Jokic is an engine that was drafted in the 2nd round. Always a chance to see diamond dropped by sloppy burgular after a theft.

That's why I thought we had a shot at him, but I can see that six was too high. I don't mind a guy that is 2-3 years away because so are we. Also hoping for a Suns' collapse with all those pick swaps.
