I love my crackhead energy players. Definitely wouldn’t hate picking him up. Would love to see what he can do with consistent minutes.

Jordan Clarkson is somebody that we should look at. To me, he fits the role of a backup PG to Trae who checks a bunch of boxes. Experience, instant scoring from all ranges and specially the ability to get inside.

Clarkson/Huerter off the pine for our bench is really good I think.

we need defense so I like Kris Dunn or Avery Bradley as back PG.

Get Trae some HELP!!!!

EZ PASS on Clarkson the selfish chucker who suffers from the horrific disease of thinking he's a lot better than he is.

8-)
Just draft Tyrese Haliburton and forget those old, past their prime, point guards.
Plays a good game. Has a very high IQ. And, best of all, he can make his free throws!

As I daydream it out, Gray, Haliburton spends the first half of next season at the end of the bench, and the second half getting some spot minutes at both PG and SG... then best-case, emerging sometime in his sophomore season as part of the game-to-game rotation if he can eclipse the #2 PG who, as I daydream it out, was a high-caliber asset (on both sides of the court) during Haliburton's rookie season--so, it would be intrinsically a hard-fought, well-earned promotion.

And of course, I've made the case above for the player I perceive to be a likely high-caliber asset.

I see him as a 6th man gunner, not a backup point.

On Haliburton, I've moved on from him. He's described as a guy who'll make a good team slightly better but not a guy who'll raise a bad team's level.
