Interesting talent still on the board to start the second round. Leonard Miller, Nick Smith, Colby Jones, and GG Jackson all have some upside.

If this report is accurate it's a pretty good deal for us.
11:07 p.m. ET: The San Antonio Spurs are trading the No. 33 overall pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves for two future second-round picks, a source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Timberwolves did not have a first-round pick in this year's draft after last summer's Rudy Gobert trade.

We get an almost first round pick this year for two future 2nd round picks. We keep both picks this year.

I'm thinking Miller, but I know nothing. He's the best remaining according to ESPN.

This is where Connelly excels, finding value in the draft. Hopefully he can keep the magic going with #33.

I wonder if there's a sleeper PG going here.

Leonard Miller was a first-round talent and has quite a bit of upside. He was getting picked in the 20-25 range in most every mock draft I saw.

I look at Miller as a power forward.

Leonard Miller seems like a good kid with a lot of upside, i like the pick. Another high upside project that can grow with the team from good value. He was a projected 1st round pick

He's an excellent rebounder, athletic and high motor

I liked Miller as a first round talent last year and this year. Excellent value.

Quoting my own post because we got my guy!!! :D :D
ESPN has a report from May 22, That says Sky High potential but needs a lot of development.

May 24, 2022 As the youngest player currently projected to be drafted, not turning 19 until late November, Miller's lack of experience was evident in his two games at the NBA combine, where he shot just 7-of-18 from the field and looked a step slow with his decision-making and off-ball awareness defensively. Miller is using the pre-draft process to learn what he needs to work on to become the high-level player his sky-high potential suggests, and he walked out of Chicago with a long list of things he'll have to improve on long-term. None of this should be a surprise considering Miller was a 6-5, non-shooting guard just a few years ago, before hitting a late growth spurt and blossoming into a five-star-caliber prospect as a high school senior. Unlikely to secure the first-round assurances he's seeking, Miller will now likely be picking between attending college at Arizona and spending a year in the G League Ignite program. -- Jonathan Givony

I don't like his game, pretty uncoordinated or clumsy and he shoots like a middle school girl.

You are talking about a 2nd round pick and by all accounts Leonard Miller has 1st round talent.

ESPN had him rated 23rd prospect. Tankathon mocked him at 20.
