He might be too good to pass up if he falls that far.

But i think we need guys (playing with the Jays and KP) who are good passers. Whitmore is very talented, but he's one of the worst passers in this draft. He's also average at best defensively.

And the reason he's dropping is because of some type of health/injury issue so a bunch of red flags.

I'd rather have someone else take him before our pick.

Yeah not into that guy. Not even that big at all.

Why do they highlight “raised by a single mom”? The narrative of the national media is appalling.

Good pick for Danny. Hendricks and Keyonte. 2 very good young players.

C Kessler
F Hendricks
F Markannen
G Keyonte

I want to pair Whitehead with White if that's how we pick.

I would be curious as to what percent of picks fall into that category.

Whitehead would be a great get.

Do feel like we need frontcourt too though...but I think mark williams or jericho sims could be had easily enough.

Sure. And that's a chance you take if it's a guy who could be as good as Embiid.

But not a wing who doesn't pass (when you have tatum and brown) who relies heavily on his athleticism..
