Been watching him. I really get turned off by his game. Extremely raw and low IQ. Not surprised to see his stock dropping. He would be a long term project like Okpala. Has good talent, but I think he thinks he has elite talent like Durant. I watched him jack up 5 bricks from deep as if he was hot. Has Wario Charlmers syndrome with out the shot.

Yeah he's super raw so I have him firmly behind Sensabaugh and Murray.

My dads cousin also female passed 3 weeks after her 2nd Vaccine from a blood clot. There are also a couple co-workers in my company whom are now being treated for Myocarditis. My grandmothers doctor a cardiologist who is also a family friend an and avid vaccine backer and pushed for us all to get vaccinated has now stopped telling his patients to get vaccinated seeing some of the results from his patients.

Theres a lot of stuff we dont know and serious side effects that are concerning. If someone doesnt want to get vaccinatwd, I can see why. I for one am not pushing for anyone to do it if they dont want to. The idea behind vaccines is super solid but these coronavirus vax arent super safe for everyone.

Sorry for your loss ICC. This forum isn’t the place to talk vaccine conspiracies tho.

, understood.

I really hope we don't end up getting into our feelings and drafting Jett Howard. I mean I don't mind him but considering our glaring need for a real 4 or a dynamic scoring down hill PG I just don't see how we pass up others for him. Jett would make an ideal fit on the Lakers.

I wouldn’t mind Murray just for the hope he can turn out like his brother. If we get a lottery pick we’ll be looking for someone else I’d assume

Most likely we are not jumping much in the lottery if we do make it so I assume a pick in the 10-14 range at best with the most likely outcome being 12-14. Would be hoping Jarace Walker or Taylor Hendricks falls to those spots. Followed by Sensabaugh and Murray. If we go PG then give me Cason Wallace all day around that spot. Just cross your fingers he don't sign with Klutch lol.

I would love to see a big who can backup Bam on D so that Bam can save some energy for offense.

Would love to see a legit 3 and D guy end up here.

I like Cason a lot. I wonder if he is the best value depending with what happens next game.

Its way early, but I'm really liking Keyontea Johnson at around the Heats picks. He has the potential to be the scoring 6th man and versatility to play the 2,3, and 4 in spo system

Nbadraft.net has him going 4th and tankathon at 10. Jarace Walker, Cam Whitmore, Brice Sensabaugh, and Kris Murray would all be great picks right after. This is a stacked draft for quality 4's but many of these guys might not make it to 20 but atleast a few of them will be sitting there in the backend of the lottery. I'm hoping we lose on Friday for the greater good.

I would have patience on Hendricks. He looks like a talent could go a wide range of places in the draft. His name likely will be all over the place come draft time.

Heat sitting at a spot where two or three unexpected players sometimes drop.

Me personally I want them to make a move and get 2 players. I wouldn't mind the Heat dropping back to get an additional pick depending on who is available.

No way I want them dropping back. The value at 4 is top heavy in this draft then a steep decline. If anything I want them moving up or like you mentioned getting another pick in this draft though I find that scenario highly unlikely considering our lack of draft capital. Maybe they buy into the second if Marcus Sasser slips. I know the Hornets are littered with second round picks. Who knows maybe they trade Martin back to them for a few seconds.

If we were to get 14 I wonder if we could trade that to the Nets for 21 & 22. Or trade it to the Thunder or something for a couple of their 15+ picks.

Might help us make a trade for a bigger star this summer

Keyonte George is as if Dion Waiers and Westbrook had a baby.

Lets see, uber athletic, really good handles, decent court vision, slithery on the court, great defensive instincts, and off the dribble shooting with range. Yeah he is either not falling to 20 or we will pass on him. Mostly likely goes 14th on the draft board.... :lol:
