Clayton is testing well in the agility portion and had a 37 inch vert as well. I do think he will be in consideration at 16 when it is all said and done.

Don't think all the athletic testing is done, but did see Drake Powell had a 43 inch vert which is near top 10 ever I think. Jase Richardson inherited a little from his dad at least with a 38 inch vert.

Near 39% from 3 for his career, 89.5% from the line his last full season. Really interesting player just very little reps against good competition and not super young.

Then again... i already had DAL or WAS winning it so... ehhh..

Aha, and the billionaire owners of the Wizards, Hornets & co just say every year take those Superstars, we are fine. We dont need star players like the last 2-4 decades before already.

I mean... win or lose they do get a looooooot of profits.

Someone mentioned UTA... few years ago they were worth 500m or something... even after sucking they are now worth 3.5B.

Can you imagine having a guard that can shoot like that and be as clutch as Clayton Jr was in the NCAA Tournament. Hopefully this is the pic.

Yep...just back from a walk and listen.

Awful...you're better than that, Simmons

They DID get it right about the fact that BOS might have to trade Derrick White as Jrue and KP won't have much of a return

Me too...the tougher question is "Does he REPLACE Moe and his $11m"

maybe...certainly wouldn't do it by itself, but other moves might dictate that.

Moe and Wolf would be great together, potentially.

If Wolf isn't there, I'm grabbing Raynaud...but honestly we've got much bigger fish to fry

Raynaud is a 2nd rounder. A lot of better Cs available before someone picks him.

You can read your favorite mock or you can research it a little more...I think he's going to be very good and at #25 you don't need to go BPA as they are all likely second round level toss ups with slightly better national visibility...unless you get somebody prominent sliding for a reason you don't mind. The other guys "ahead" of him are very raw or undersized physical specimens that are getting a lot of "projections" of having NBA skills...just what we don't need at the moment (or even the next 3 or 4 years).

I do like Sorber too and he measured well, but "well" meaning I thought he'd be too small, but maybe he's okay to play C.

Raynaud dominated the ACC in all categories. He's a mature professional with no injury history, fantastic work and study habits, coming out of the French National Team program, which has been dominant in draft prospects for the last handful of years. Check out his interview on "Locked On; Big Board" or whatever it's called podcast. The host calls him the "most skilled big in the draft". He's not going to take over the league but he seems like a really safe, prudent choice for a team filling in around a core already in place.

I watched Raynaud this past season because they just joined the ACC thus met Duke. I admired his willingness to try to block Flagg even though he became THE poster boy for that sequence.lol probably the first poster for Duke featuring Flagg

He is a 7ft plodder that shoot 3s which I likened to Brook Lopez but without the bulk. The only reason he couldve put up such numbers is because aside from Duke, no ACC member had the frontcourt to match his height. So im skeptical of him putting those numbers against legit 7fters like what he will face in the league.

I mean... I like his fit ON PAPER for us but there are Cs gonna be picked first over him. Those maybe 6'9/6'10 barefoot but with potential(youth) and athleticism.

For the love of God we better not use another 1st round pick on a guard who isn’t naturally a PG.

What should we do?
