That projects to be around 20-25 IMO. We might be able to get an extra second as a sweetener seeing as though it's a late speculative first.

Someone beat us to it.

They're saying the Lakers are shilling #17 for a starter.

Hypothetical, we get to 27 and Nick Smith, GG Jackson and Sidy are all on the board who would you take?

I would take Sidy. Can handle, pass, and wants to guard other team's best player.

Who would you take?

How high can a package of number 27 plus any combination of our second round picks get us in this draft?

Excellent question.

Not to be too snarky about it, but last draft Denver used that exact pick + 4 2nds to get a lotto pick, and with the new CBA 2nd round picks are only more valuable.

My first choice if possible is for us to deal #27 and some/all of our seconds to trade up for Jordan Hawkins.

Second choice if possible is to trade our three seconds for another late first. (More team control).

If we don't get Hawkins I'd like us to draft one/some of Brandin Podziemski, Noah Clowney, Leonard Miller or Sidy Cissoko with 27 and our seconds/other late first acquired above if they are still on the board.

If these guys are all gone we should trade #27 for the best projected 2024 first rounder possible.

Optimistic for this pick to save the draft night for the good guys, expecting to trade this with all the 2nds for a future nonexistent 3rd rounder.

Lol. This made me giggle good.
