I'm a pretty big Dylan Harper guy

I think most years he's the #1 pick.

Nikola Topic/Kasparas Jakucionis

Finally official. Bucks reset is complete. My brain still goes to saying Brooklyn </3


Harper is my type of Guard to a t. Love his game. In the Shai, Cade mold.

Love the new 1-2-3 trio of Harper, Ivey, & Brown. Complimentary skillsets and offensive profiles.

Harper certainly is the guard archetype I love that thrives in the NBA.

Flagg is just one of the best all around prospects to come out in a minute...but the draft is a legit top 2.

Ace isn't my cup of tea but I certainly see the allure and Washington taking an upside play in his position to land someone if things break right has star potential.

Ace is a guy who to me is too dependent on where he goes irl to take top 5

Talent alone, I have him 3rd and can see a future where he's the best player from the class in a few years' time. Just a really big risk for a sim game.

I'm not in FA so you're right I'm not worried. More unsettling in the sense of overall FA.

Well…he was a lotto team last year - he traded away a ton of players- Luka/Sga would be leaving an eastern conference championship team and sga would be leaving a team that went to the western conference finals to go to a lotto team with 4 players.

Curious to see how the commissioner handles negotiations…
