Kobe Bufkin measuring at 6'4.25 without shoes gives him legit SG size. On top of his elite finishing (68% at the rim on 35% of his FGA), he shows flashes of 3-level scoring and was Michigan's best defender. Lottery talent IMO.

Or Herro + #18?

And are those players worth it

I had mentioned in a previous post a deal of Herro, Robinson, Lowry and the 18th pick to the Hornets for Scary Terry, Hayward, Bouknight or Cody Martin swap for the 27th and 34th

I like Bufkin a lot especially if we trade Herro. Would be perfect coming off the bench at both guard spots.

Get one of those Pacers picks. Draft Leonard Miller at 18 and Marcus Sasser at 26.

More likely it’s Anunoby who they have been heavily rumored to be going after. Maybe they swap picks and players with Raps.

I was thinking Ingram too cause Scoot does make sense for them. Pels own the 14th in a potential swap. Pels need to open up a spot for Murphy.

Blazers have Shaedon Sharpe ready to take over at the two so it makes all the sense in the world for them to be fishing Simons and the 3rd pick for a premier SF. Raptors could be all in on drafting Scoot to avoid paying VanVleet a big contract. They could be looking to reboot there backcourt with Simons and Scoot.
