Bring in Stackhouse. Draft Bilal/Hawkins/Sidy. Start playing younger guys more next season

Would love any of those 3. But what do I know.

yea, sidy > bilal to me. he seems like he has the frame as a player to develop into a bucket getter as well as a playmaker.

Wemby, Scoot definitely gone, Miller is probably gone but who knows after top 2.
Who'd you pick at no.4?

Amen Thompson

*pukes*
Trade for our pick back from SA or Cason Wallacd.

Haha. Fair enough.

I do think Amen will surprise a LOT of people when he gets to the league. Highest star potential outside of the Top 3 IMO.

Hawkins will make a great replacement for Trent Jr. He will work great with Jak and Barnes.

What’s our plan for having 3 non shooters in our starting lineup?

JHS doesn't have the outside shot or the bounce to get to stardom potential
Sidy looks intriguing, but the lack of jumper and elite creativity or handle could put him in a box that we've seen before

I might just go for Howard or Hawkins, atleast their jumpers will translate

I need a guy that can get me a bucket. Keyonte George is it.

I can't trust this organization to teach a guy how to score and shoot. If I'm picking in the lottery...unless the guy has Giannis-like freakish length and athleticism...I prefer a guy who can shoot and get buckets.

He can toss the ball at the bucket. If you want that, then Sensabaugh does that. Though he could shoot over 40% from 3 but may only be as effective as Luke Kennard. Everyone wants an elite "3-level" scorer.

Watching Jimmy Butler, I think Sidy will have the combination of size and strength to be able to be effective on the NBA level.

Sidy knows how and when to bounce pass. Just has a natural feel to playmaking and not selfish; just makes the right play.

Sometimes, you watch Scottie play and you can see the wheels turning a bit when he's going to pass, whereas Sidy seems slightly more instinctual. It's like J-Will and Magic.

Nice, at least the shooter hit the 3, but really the shooter should've passed it to the trailer #0 for an easy layup.

TS%, gleague:

A nice portion of list consists of 2nd round UD free agents. If Julian Strawther falls into 2nd round I would consider trading for him. Mike Miles Jr, Ben Sheppard, and D'moi Hodge could help with the raptos guard depth

Other prospects I would like to sign as UD free agents.
DeVries
Lundy
Wong
Bates

Really hoping Gradey Dick falls to us. I don't see star upside but he seems to have a decently high floor.
Good shooter, smart off ball mover, secondary play maker, good size to become a capable team defender. Minus: can't create on ball, limited athletically, weak again switches on quicker players. Comparisons - Ingles, Bojan Bogdonovic, shorter Cam Johnson

Sidy highlights makes him a no brainer, his lowlights makes him look like he has a long way to go and is another 6'9 non shooter. I'd still gamble, but he's a gamble indeed. The fact that he played in the Gleague and played well for his young age gives me some confidence tho.
