This is a good point. Good guards are easy to come by. A good big or wing is much harder to find.
I am not sure who the best prospect is at this point but loving this draft class.

I've got Boozer then Peterson then Dybantsa right now. But there is very little separation between those 3 guys. They're all together in tier 1. Long season ahead, long way to go till the draft so that could change..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I definitely hear you on that though having a really big PG is a low key version of size in its own right.

Looking to next year,
White, Brown, Tatum, Minott, Queta starting
Pritchard, Hauser, Hugo, Walsh, A PF/C type from the draft like Quaintance or Cenac Jr or even Ngomba as true C feels like a nice team.
Jordan Walsh > Lonnie Walker and Charles Bassey

Again? I have not watched, but is he really a PG? If he is a combo, guard, will he mesh well with brown and tatum?

To follow up my above post, I will certainly take a player like peterson if he is definitely the best player available regardless of positional need.
