Miles Bridge if they want a tweener, or Carter if he becomes available for the Hornets.

Maybe a bet with Duval if they look for a combo guard that match both Kemba & Monk's skillsets (and liabilities).

We actually do need another power forward, but of the wing variety - not the 4/5 hybrid that describe Cody and Frank. Thankfully, this draft is stacked with 3/4 hybrid players.

Miles Bridges
Kevin Knox
Jarred Vanderbilt
Justin Jackson
PJ Washington
Isaac Bonga

At least two of those guys should be available when we draft.

I'm 100% out of the loop on college stuff this season. I could name like one guy that I think is supposed to be in their starting lineup.

Sad!

Bridges is going to dominate.

We should trade our 1st to Detroit for Kennard.

with draftexpress being gone i have no idea what to do with prospect scouting. :(

want to get a PF (yep) who is a good 2-way player with some upside. Frank can be a center.

This is going to be a depressing offseason with no DE. Are we going to have to rely on NBAdraft? That site is awful.

Was thinking about this the other day - real opportunity for someone to fill the DE void.

I think there would be others who can and will write scouting/draft reports of prospects but they would have a hard time doing the strengths/weaknesses video analysis of Givony and his team. IMO, that plus their international scouting are what separate DE from the other draft reporters.

EDIT:
I realized Chad Ford could fill the DE void but we have yet to see which media outlet he's going to join. He haven't tweeted since July.

Might get a second chance at Miles Bridges at this rate. Hell maybe better.

I don't care what we do this season as long as we tank for Bol Bol next season.

Kevin Knox looks great. He oozes potential. Nice length and athletic ability.

Marvin Bagley is freaking incredible.

Yeah Knox or Bridges would both be great. Unfortunately, I think we'll be right outside that range and I'm not a big fan of Robert Williams. Possibly Duval from Duke? He is explosive but can't shoot :/

How high do we need to be selecting to have a shot at Bridges?

We should be able to get one of Knox or bridges. I think both would fit nicely taking over for Marv eventually.
