This means he’s probably on the board at 9.

I think we pass

One can hope.

I’m honestly not sure. There are too many guys that fit the Raptor mild this year. It’s a tough call.

Its a bad matchup against one team. You dont pass on an 18 year old for not getting minutes if you liked him before.

I can see that, but I can also see us going with a wing or even a point. None of our guys outside of Scottie are undeniable long term solutions, and our unwillingness to part with Jak shows a true commitment. So, are we really spending a top 10 pick on a backup?

BPA is a fair argument, but if you create a glut and the BPA doesn't get to play then he only becomes the BPA when you trade other guys, or him to another team. With that said, the largest gut is currently on the wing, so we'll have to see.

Well ya the glut is on the wing which would make even more sense for them to lean big if they have these guys in the same tier. I don't see Essengue as can't miss.

Maluach/Queen/Newell/Wolf/Sorber.....All bigs we might be interested in.....One will be a Raptor....My guess is either Maluach or Queen if we stay at 9....If both are picked before 9....We might trade back to get one of Newell/Wolf/Sorber.

There's no can't miss guy at our spot. The biggest need is arguably at guard. We only have Shead and Quick, and I'm not sure Quick is the long term solution.

I think they are invested in Quick unless hes going for KD. The only guy I see at 9 who might be BPA is Jak. But otherwise, I'd be shocked if we don't come out with KM/Queen/Asa/Wolf

Adou Thiero is like a more coordinated Oguga, intriguing player

What happened to that guy that posted the CMB stuff? All of a sudden his entire thread is gone and all the posts in this thread that replied to him.

My ideal outcome on draft night

Quickley/Shead
Barrett/Walter
Ingram/Bryant
Barnes/Mogbo
Poeltl/39 or trade 39 and Ochai to move up

If Queen and Maluach are both gone, we’re taking whoever fell (Fears, Kon, Bailey).

I can see us trading back if the top 8 go to chalk:
Flagg
Harper
Bailey
Johnson
Edgecomb
Fears
Maluach
Kon

Order doesn’t matter. If we’re choosing between Queen and like Noa or Jak, I can absolutely see us moving down and getting more value. If any of those 8 are available, I think we’re taking them no doubt. No matter which one falls.

With the rumour of us moving down if KM isn't on the board (again it could be smoke but lets say its factual) then Queen may not be in their cards cuz by all accounts he will be there at 9.
