Anyone on this list worth pursuing with a late 1st or 2nd round pick.

The next Trae Young...is nowhere near as elite as the original Trae Young.

Ah, you found him.
He seems to be an elite talent.
I look forward to seeing how high he goes in the draft.

NBADraft.net has him going 16th

https://www.nbadraft.net/nba-mock-drafts/

Bleacher Report 5th overall

Cooper's a better all around prospect, but if we were to get the #1 pick again, I think Dylan Harper fits what we're trying to do slightly better.

Scoring wing player to consider with the Lakers Pick in the 20s.

Read on Twitter


Miles Byrd (San Diego State, SG/SF)



Size: 6'7", 190 lbs
Age: 19
Nationality: USA
Pro Comparisons: Patrick McCaw

Miles Byrd should start drawing more attention with an appealing mix of 6'7" size, shot-making confidence, ball-screen playmaking flashes and defensive instincts. However, teams may hesitate to slot him confidently with first-rounders until they see him against more noteworthy opponents or prospects at the NBA combine.

Bogi 2.0

Sergio De Larrea (Valencia, SG)



Previous Mock Position: No. 43
Size: 6'5"
Age: 19
Nationality: Spain
Pro Comparison: Bogdan Bogdanović

Sergio De Larrea is becoming a legitimate name to watch, as the 19-year-old continues to score efficiently and use his dribble and vision to set up teammates.

He's shooting 48.6 percent from three with a 33.7 assist percentage, numbers only two NCAA freshmen are currently putting up, including projected top-10 pick Kasparas Jakucionis.

With Valencia at 13-3 in ACB play, De Larrea is sure to draw more and more attention if he continues to make shots, finish plays and create for others at his current rate.

Probably best to focus on the 15-25 projected prospects.

Strikes me as a Ty Maxey like scorer as combo guard.
Not a pure PG, not big enough to man SG full time.
But a dependable bucket getter.
If Hawks draft him, it likely means Kobe is a goner.

I hope Egor goes back to BYU for a 2nd Year. His draft stock has taken a huge hit this year.

Plus, he and incoming freshman AJ Dybantsa could be dominant next season playing together.
