Sleeper SGs
Ok, we know we need a SG, probably our top priority. It would be nice to get Oladipo or McLemore, and McLemore might actually slip to us, but I doubt it. And we might use #8 for MCW or Burke, instead of KCP or McCollum, both of who I think would be great. If that's what we do, then I think it might be worth getting a second first rounder and taking a swing on one of these guys:
Sergey Karasev - already got a promise, shut down his workouts
Reggie Bullock - shooter who can play 2 or 3
Glen Rice Jr. - dominated D league last year
Allen Crabbe - big wing w/ great jump shot
Ricardo Ledo - one of the highest ceilings in the draft
Tim Hardaway Jr. - NBA ready wing who can both shoot and defend
If we're swinging for the fences, I think we should get an extra pick and get Ledo.

Re: Sleeper SGs
All these guys should be available at 20+, so we shouldn't have to do much to get one of these picks.

Re: Sleeper SGs
I like Crabbe a lot. He's very similar to KCP, but he isn't getting quite the hype.
As a UM fan, I can say that I don't really want THJr. He's maddeningly inconsistent and takes very difficult shots far too often.
Ledo is a total unknown, but if we can nab him without giving up much (or if he falls to us), then we might as well.
Bullock is okay, not a great ceiling TBH but he can shoot.
Glen Rice Jr. strikes me as being similar to Shamu, but I can't really tell much. He did play in the "no defense" D-League, so I'm skeptical.

Re: Sleeper SGs
I like Rice Jr but I'm not sold on spending a first rounder on one of these guys. I would be happy if one fell to the second round. I see alot of Euros taken late first who can be stashed in Europe in the bottom 10. This is all cause of the weak draft.

Re: Sleeper SGs
I don't think we'll be picking any 2nd rounders in this draft...

Re: Sleeper SGs
I know we're on the brink of that place where you no longer want to trade vets for draft picks, but I'd be ecstatic if we could trade Stuckey for high-teens or low-twenties draft pick. Just to get out of the Stuckey era.

Re: Sleeper SGs
Bullock would be a great fit on this team.
If Ledos there at #37 and we dont take him i'll be pi**ed.
Dont know much about Karasev, but from highlights and scouting reports he looks like a decent fit. he looked a little slow in his highlights and im always leery of Euros though.
Crabbes a guy I wouldnt mind having, but not above Bullock or Ledo.
I dont know a whole lot about Rice, but ive heard he has attitude and motor issues. since he probably doesnt have the upside Ledo does, id have to pass on him.
Timmys not a guy I want on the team, he's too inconsistent and when his shot isnt falling hes pretty much useless.

Re: Sleeper SGs
I've been wrong with this type of guy before, but Bullock will be in the NBA for a while. He's the kind of guy that will either get drafted into to the right situation, or end up on the Spurs in three years.
Count that baby and a foul!

I'd just be happy if they traded Stuckey. He actually might fetch a pick in the 20's in this draft.

Michael Snaer is another SG I like in this draft. I dont see him getting much love, but I think hes going to be a solid 3 and D guy in the league. he reminds me of Wes Matthews a little bit.
