He laid an egg the first game of the season. I want to see if he can consistently make outside shots.

You add Flagg to this group and we are a playoff team. He will have a Caruso like affect on D and he is made to play in the uptempo pace system.

Ace is Jalen Green but 6’9. He won’t be winning for anyone anytime soon. His ceiling is sky high though and if he turns D on like Ant did once he got in the league he’s a special cornerstone.

Harper, Traore, and Saraf are all better than Giddey as lead guards. I’d be happy to trade Giddey for a 1st and select one of them with our pick.

Kid is a winner. Maybe the best competitor I’ve seen since Kobe. I know that sounds crazy.

Jakucionis is an intriguing young player. Finally got to watch him tonight and I am impressed. He has great court vision and seems to have a real feel for the game. If he can continue to evolve offensively and polish his three-point shot, he could be quite the prospect.

Illinois definitely has some young talent worth keeping an eye on.

He’s what we hoped Giddy would be. Plays more D and his 3 will have volume.

Like Will Riley’s ceiling more though.

He's played 2 pretty craptacular teams so far, I want to see how he goes against actual competition.

But he definitely seems to bring it defensively.

So are Philly and Milwaukee gonna add one of these guys, while we go for #7-11?

If they are smart yes. And then you gonna fire Doc Rivers and hire decent coach and win championship next season. One of those teams can easily replicate Spurs 97-98.

EDIT: Seems Bucks dont own their pick. Pels have it. So only Philly can.

Lol - I just ran tanktathon and NOP got #1 and #2.

NO’s been flirting with #1 odds (Lakers last 2 seasons) but they keep getting wrecked by mid season. They would be insane if Bucks crapped out.

Dude took it to team USA in Olympic practices. He’s a hooper. He always brings it. It’s contagious too.

Reminds me of Hawks Bogey on steroids with much more playmaking. Think he goes 7-12.

The touch on these passes is insane. The ball is on a rope even though it’s not traveling that fast. Freaky stuff. I’m intrigued.

Tre with another strong game. Dude can flat out shoot it.

He's really unique. It's the kind of draft having two picks would be incredible.

It just might be time to trade Josh Giddey to the Spurs so we can get our first and second back. I think Giddey is too complicated a prospect to build around, and with the shortcomings of his game you will have to build around them.

Yep. I’d need to see more D, more 3s and or more self creating scoring to pay him.

He’s an ideal trade candidate at the draft.

You can't trade him at the draft, he'll be a free agent.
