Think outside the box, PG/Big combo might be coming back. Interior post defense is terrible in NBA currently.

Ya, just draft Edey with the 2nd round pick. Maybe he'll turn out like Ivica Zubac.

I would like to trade FVV or FTJr for a 1st pick in this draft. So many good players. Even Toubelis in Arizona is averaging 20ppg shooting like 64/44/86. He could be like Lauri Markkanen and getting him in the 20's would be good. Perhaps at least a taller Jake Laravia.

Edey seems more like a Boban type to me.

TBH they both (Clingan/Edey) look like they'll get burned because of their foot speed. But I do think Clingan looks a little quicker.

I think they could get Gradey Dick, Ricky Council, Cam Whitmore or Cason Wallace. Not sure if Anthony Black will be around.

Whitmore will be a top 7 locked pick.

Boban is more skilled, but is soft and slow. One of the more unique things with Edey is that he plays physical and draws a ton of fouls. The impact is appreciated when a full game is watched.

Pretty confident we’re one of the teams there. Especially after the summer workouts with the ucla guys

Jaylen Clark, Amari Bailey, and Adem Bona all guys who could potentially be targets for us

Top 10...please trade Gary for a younger prospect asap and let's lock this up lol

We're more & more getting into a range where one of Whitmore, Miller, Ausar or Black should be able to fall to us. I'll EASILY take that result over another meaningless 1st rd exit.

Draft Edey or Clingan, they'll run through C's like Sabonis. Too small.

Keep an eye out for Jaylen Clark with our 2nd rounder (if we don’t trade it again lol). He’s a very Raptorsy player

He might work his way into the late 1st round by the draft but I hope he’s still on the board for us. Great kid too

I found our guy. Remember the name Thierry Darlan. That's Masai's guy without a doubt.

Cason Wallace, Gradey Dick seems intriguing, like Jordan Hawkins as well. Rayan Rupert reminds me of Jalen Green.

You mean he's going to force a trade to an American team after we draft him?

This top 10 is drool worthy. We can get lotto odds for Wemb or Scoot, with the fallback of Amen, Auser, Miller, Whitmore, Cason, Black, George, etc.

Maaaaybe in the 2nd rd...I know he was somewhat a standout at BWB but I don't see anything particularily special about him athletically, physically or skillwise but he can probably be a solid player. I'm sure we're also keeping eyes on Adem Bona & James Nnaji as well especially with just a single year left on Birch's contract for some level of C depth.
