How crazy is it that SG Kevin Porter Jr weighs more than Center Bol Bol?

Probably any team most in need of a PG - Suns, Cavs, Bulls.

Well the guy has been unable to do any type of cardio since his injury. Porter has the talent we just gotta let Travis thoroughly evaluate these dudes.

Zion, Morant and Barrett are sure to be gone.

Then there is Culver, Hunter and Reddish. If one of this group slips we should take him. This situation is only possible if Garland and White picked, Garland is likely, White I don't know.

If we don't have Hunter, Culver or Reddish available, I think we should go with Hayes and Sekou Doumbouya.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Lakers at 4. I mean he’s really solid all around. It feels like a reach but if the Lakers don’t grab him then it’s the Suns for sure. I doubt Cavs take him because if Sexton but who knows he’s a combo guard but so is Garland, mainly point but combo too.

Personally right this second I like BPA at 8 hoping for Cam to drop. I honestly think he’s gonna kill in the workouts though. At 10 I wanted Clarke but if there’s a trade down scenario where we can get him at say.. 19 :wink: I’m down for that.

Cam at 8

Clarke at 19

Hey guys, been awhile since i lurked and posted here, ever since Lin got traded.

But my condolences on how both of your FRPs dropped in slots. Of all teams that deserved good juju for rebuilding the right way you guys and BRK deserve all the love and respect from the RNG gods and FAs.

With the drop off in supposed talent after the top 3 picks, it makes scouting more important than ever to try to find the next hidden sleeper gems in the mid high lotto range. With your scouts successfully identifying Trae and Huerter (who was considered a big reach), im confident you guys are gonna knock one of #8/10 picks out of the park.

I don’t see Bol’s strength’s shining in an offense like Lloyd’s where you get out and run. Maybe he can I just don’t see it.


Spud, pardon the observation, but I think you need to spend some time watching some Bol tape... this kid's an absolute deer gracefully dashing down the floor, and moreover, can handle the ball even as he's doing that, too.


If his medicals are solid I'm all in on Bol Bol. We got two picks, we can swing for the fences on one of them.

Is Coby White a possibility? I wonder how he would fit with Trae. He could be BPA when we pick.

What's White's defense like?
Would that push Huerter to 3? That'll be a small line up.

Not impressed with White, but I like the idea of picking up a defensive specialist like Thybulle, particularly in light of the fact this is quite possibly Bazemore's last season with us.

Yea we would be small, but he can shoot and play off the ball. He is a legit 6'4" in the DPS mold.
