Would that push Huerter to 3? That'll be a small line up.


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



Regurgitated content. I already dissed this. Skeet skeet.


You're a Reddish guy right? He looks way too passive for me.

Well ya I am but saying we discussed this White in the backcourt with Trae thing. Some people shot it down fast..or maybe just Supes lol. I dunno it could work in the new nba.

White, Reddish, Kindabluelike...I just want someone with some color on the team (white is a color because it's not clear).

(just kidding, I want completely translucent or transparent players only)

Culver, White, and Clarke are all uninspiring with those measurable's they have. Hoping Culver will still remain as a top 5 pick.

Lost hope in getting Hayes as this point. That length and athleticism will be coveted with his high upside.

If Bol checks out medically and Garland looking to get a promise in the lottery, maybe that will help push Cam on out to 8 still.

Intrigued with going Euro at 10 now. Goga could be the big man we need with Collins in the frontcourt. Sekou has a lot of upside. Don't think we go wrong with either. Even taking Reddish 8th, I think Sekou could grow more and be more of a 4, and be a shot blocker.

This draft is f*ing intriguing. Complete f*ing free for all. I'm just f*ing glad the alien with the robot blue eyes is our GM.

And Bol with the 7.1% body fat - the highest if the guys you posted :lol:

7'2 with 7% body fat and only 208 pounds tells me he avoids the gym at all cost. KPJ has some pretty impressive measurements.

Gotta take a long look at Rui, Okpala, Little, Sekou, Reddish, King. They offer the best combo of length, size, strength, athletiscism, skill the team doesn't have at 3/4.

I need to see Bol go through the paces before anything else.

Dude, come on. Guy has been injured and not in a game forever. Bol Bol is the only real star from this draft, beyond Ja (considering Zion is going back to Duke or only accepting a trade to us).

Bol has mad upside. Draft him. Even if he is injury prone, it is still worth the risk at #10.

Thoughts on Reddish at 8 and Bitadze at 10?

Trae Young has uninspiring measurables. Measurables are overrated, it's about being able to play.

Low potential, but probably the 2 prospects at that range that FIT the best.

True but they do matter a lot. Especially depending on your game and position. Trae measureables is hurting him on D.

If the draft plays out where the top 3 is what it is. Culver goes 4-5. And the Bulls and Suns go PG. I want to stay put at 8.

I doubt the Bulls and Suns BOTH go PG. I don't see there being enough of them left in the lottery at that point.
