At 37 I'm hoping for a developmental shooter (Furphy or Christie) or a big (Filipowksi or Smith).

I could see one of three things happening. Gonna preface this by saying I don’t watch college ball or follow the pre draft stuff closely so I don’t much about the talent available.

1. We choose the best available in the hopes of making them a two way.

2. We pick a draft and stash.

3. I think this is likely but I don’t know. We trade back multiple times to acquire a lot of 2nds for future years to replenish the war chest. I also think Moore is moved off the team in one of the deals.

I have Mogbo, then Bona, then Djurisic as a draft and stash then Bronny as a 2 way.

Mogbo looks like athletic Slowmo.

That was an amazing trade.

Trade up.

Eff it.

Go down swinging!

Can't believe we only give up a 2031 pick for the 8th pick. This draft must be super weak. Hope we turn the 27th pick into a good trade, maybe like Cam Johnson?

A 2031 FRP for the 2024 8 overall is insane.

He’s the Whitmore of this draft.

We didn't need to trade up.

With 15 total spots and really only 14 players (given how much they cost,) I don’t know if we draft more than one more player this year. Especially if you want to sign Morris and Anderson even if you plan to trade one at the deadline.

Is holding a player's draft rights the same as being on the roster?

Maybe Filipowski for value? Don’t love him though. Highly doubt any of the PGs. Can only develop 1 at a time.

Something about Shannon I didn’t like. I’m not sure how he’d perform without the ball in his hands.

I hope you're wrong.

The 2030 swap with the Spurs is only top 1 protected.

Well that sucks. That's basically 2 unprotected 1st rounders.
Dillingham better be good or this trade is gonna look awful in a few years.

It's so far down the road I hardly care.

No. We still have the rights to Spagnolo (may have spelled that wrong,) and he still hasn’t come over and doesn’t count against our roster space. That is why it is called draft and stash.

One of the older players in the Draft. Pretty stable pick, nothing exciting. I really like this pick.

Younger to me is a tiebreaker, but not the decision maker.

I barely looked at the draft because I was too busy sulking over how the season ended. I didn't even know it was going on. It seems to me we added a lot of offense. Was Dillingham considered top ten worthy by most? Was Shannon our best option at 27?

I could not be happier to see Connelly take care of business … we needed a PG … love this kid! Then we get a NBA ready (IMO) wing via Shannon… these two players instantly add depth and offense.
