Yeah...I hear Cason Wallace is an absolute sexual deviant who visits strip clubs in Kentucky all the time. He's also an **** to all of his teammates too!!!

Teams should read this and just let Boston deal with this absolute narcissist. Its for all of those teams best interest of course. Just don't want these teams to draft the wrong guy.

[JimmyFromNz]

To me Olivier Maxence Prosper makes too much sense as a plug in defender with good athleticism but a solid frame/base to replace what Grant Williams brought - whilst providing a bit more upside.

That's in my humble opinion of being completely disengaged from the back end of the draft nearly all year.

Though over the years we've learnt pretty quick Brad (and Danny's) draft board is not remotely comparable to the info we receive.

*** IF/When the KP trades becomes official

+ Boston trades up into the first somehow.. (Grant or PP) +35

Who do you think Brad/Boston wants in the first??

Can we rule out a center?

I thought I read somewhere that Boston likes Propser and Jacquez.. was that for 35?? Or for trade up??

BTW I like Propser a lot Meh on Jacquez.

Thoughts??

If they like prosper, they have to get to 25. Same as Jacquez.

Breaking News: Cason Wallace hates teams with furry mascots and goes into a rage when seeing them. Also hates warm climates. Will not report. Do not draft

Prosper & Hymee are my top picks ...good to see Brad agrees

[meatball sub]

i really hope we dont draft a PG. either play PP & Davison and see what you've got or get rid of them. gotta stop drafting guys during this era of the Jays prime & getting zero production out of them. draft guys who can help now

[SLCceltic]

does the KP Smart trade not being final limit or even nix our ability to trade #25 ??

[Shak_Celts]

We plan and Brad laughs. Go through all the videos and prospects and they pick guys who are rarely/never mentioned on here over the last 10 years.

Well said by Coach Spins. I'm high on Cissoko as well and would love it if we drafted him. It appears likely he'll still be there at 35.

Bumping this.

Give me Sidy at 25.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, with Tatum/Brown/KP, e really need to make sure that anyone we add to this team to surround those guys is a really good playmaker/passer.

We've now got THREE guys who are capable of dropping 25-30+ points on any given night.

We don't really need more scorers. We need more distributors.

I want a wing who can really pass the rock, who can also defend really well too. And who can shoot decently enough from 3.

Good athleticism and a strong physique is also a plus.

A guy who can contribute in the short term, while also providing some nice upside long term.

When I look at the 25 guys I currently have ranked in the top 25 of my big board, the guy who checks all of those boxes is Sidy Cissoko.

I don't care that all the mock drafts have him going in the 33-47 range. I'm taking him at 25. Sure, we could trade down, but then someone else might take him before we do. I'm telling you - he's a top 25 prospect in this draft.

I know I made a post earlier about saying Leonard Miller was the guy. But Miller is much better as a play finisher than a passer. This season, Leonard Miller and Cissoko were on the same G League Ignite team. Cissoko has 15% assist rate on just an 18% usage rate. That's REALLY good. 15% assist rate for a non-PG who was only 18 yrs old, while playing in the G league against grown man pros, many of whom have played a decent amount of NBA games. That's really good - especially doing it on such low usage. Compare that to Miller, who had just a 9% assist rate on a 23% usage rate. And Miller is a little bit older than Cissoko, too - which makes it even more impressive that Cissoko's numbers were better.

I mean, look at some of these passes. The Jays and KP will love him.

Plus, despite the fact that Cissoko is a wing and Miller is a PF, Cissoko actually had a higher blocks rate. Cissoko's blocks rate was 3.1%, compared to 2.4% for Miller. Not a huge difference but an edge for Cissoko nonetheless - which is even more impressive considering Cissoko is a wing and Miller is a PF.

A 3% blocks rate for an 18 year old wing, playing in the g league vs grown men pros is VERY good.

Sidy is my guy.
