NBA Draft Discussion Part 10

NBA TV mock draft

Flagg
Harper
Edgecombe
Ace
Tre Johnson
Fears
Maluach
Knueppel
Essengue
Bryant
Jakucionis

With the last minute Raptors workout of Essengue off the plane from the playoffs in Germany on his way to the draft... Yup incoming @9.

=Essengue.

I could also see them trading Barrett for Mavs veteran bench depth and #31.

But I think Tre and Knueppel go ahead of Ace Ventura.

I really like Queen, he has a lot of Horford in him.

Chat Gpt. Hmmm is reaĺly just an amalgamation of prevailing published opinion but... other than 5 and 9 and 10 they are giving us a predictable report. Back up bigs are an easy get by other means. I think Essengue and Queen are far more likely at 9 than reaching for Sorber. Microsoft products SUCK! LOL.

I literally just asked chatgpt to give a final prediction and it had us pick Maluach. Also has Bailey going to Jazz and Jaku going to Nets.

U wana lock this one up when u open new thread? also can you put no spoilers in title

[ATLTimekeeper]

The Essengue smoke is looking too obvious to me. First the Scottie/Pascal/Kawhi comments, and now the "secret" workout?

This is either the biggest smokescreen ever from the Raptors, or they did not do a good job hiding their Essengue interest.

It wouldn't be hard for ESPN to learn where his flight was going.

Vision 6’9 back

[OakleyDokely]

The Raps already have 12 players locked into contracts for the upcoming season so I don't think it's likely that they trade 9 for a bunch of other picks. This offseason feels more about the Raps wanting to add quality over quantity and if anything, it's probably more likely they move up than down.

[UnbelievablyRAW]

I wonder who is the best player we can package RJ or IQ/and 9 for

Honestly wouldn’t mind Beringer in the late first round and use 9 to get a borderline star and move back

I don’t know about Essengue, seems like a project and a Bruno Caboclo pick. A Thunder pick since they can afford to draft long term type of players

Tre Johnson @8?? If he falls like that, hope we pounce. Sheesh!

Has us taking Yang at 39, which is unlikely but would be good an awesome outcome
