Give me one of Jarace Wallace or Taylor Hendricks and I will be happy. We need a big who can cover defense when WCJ is out.

Bufkin looks like his developing the same way Franz did and may end up cracking the top 10.

Do we need Taylor Hendricks?

I am a UCF fan, and I love this idea. Now with JI gone, do we need Hendricks?

I can see the fit.

Isn't he in "G" league? That's supposed to be better then college thought right?

is it though? how many players get drafted out of the G league?

Well I dont have any "thethief" quality rags to riches story where someone tries out in G' League and makes it to become their star player. One would assume they would be at least former NBA former collegiate athletes.

With a wide range of players that people seem interested with.... would you'll trade the #7 pick for the #12 and #18 from the Jazz... + anything else that balances everything out?

I've seen players like GG Jackson slip all the way down to #20/21 on mock drafts due to an underwhelming season ... but the talent is still there.

Get who we want at #5.... and swing for the fences or fill in needs with #12 and 18.

I would rather have 2 top 10 picks

We don’t need more players. We need better players and to combine assets.

I think we are at that stage when we have enough young guys to develop and think about winning now. No need for quantity but quality this time around. Instead of getting more rookies, Ill be fine if we get 1 rookie and package the other pick for a quality player.

Scoot's sister just drove her high school to the 5A state title (something he didnt do, granted he left a year early) and the boys from the same school won the title also.

I dont know, #5 and #7 picks in a good draft will be enticing for a team who just reset, no?

Mikal Bridges is a corner stone in their rebuild, easily. They are not trading him no matter what we offer

But one option we have is to trade up if we are out of Top 3. My goal is Brandon Miller
