Jakucionis being on the board is awkward for us. We probably don’t want 2 guards but his upside would be hard to pass up

The price of moving up is too steep

Man we shoulda traded up just so we could be the ones to fleece New Orleans

Poole, Fears and Queen. Interesting offensively.

Wolf or Sorber for me. Only concern about Sorber is his foot. Never good for a big man. (Embiid, Walton).

Fears will ride the pine behind Poole and Murray

An unprotected first to move up for Queen? No wonder we couldn’t match that.

My favorite value pick thus far.

I think we are likely to grab Sorber if he is there. I doubt we would take Wolf though.

More favorable of Pelicans/Bucks pick next year, unprotected

San Antonio takes Bryant.

What a draft for them. They are so loaded.

Hopefully DQ doesn't get Zioned by the good food down there. :D

SA defense going to be insane
