buy a 2nd rounder and draft george de paul 8-)

but if we can with one of our picks, id go after furkan korkmaz. his shooting is fantastic, he reminds me a bit of devin booker.

Sabonis is by far the best big man in the draft, if he can improve on his footwork he'll become one of the best centers in the league

Whatever ever happened to that guy? Don't see him on any mocks.

First one that came to mind for me too lol. DX has him in the 50's in 2017

If Rabb had a 3 we'd be picking him.

If Ellenson had more backers on here we'd be raving about him as well.

If Ben Ben was like 6'10 we'd be taking him.

If bender fell we'd be taking him.

I just want a pf but none of them are really screaming lotto pick. Decisions decisions, decisions...

I believe in Skal. I still have him ranked highly on my wishlist.

I also feel like Rabb will be able to add the 3. That's a must for bigs in today's NBA. Plus, he has the base for it already set up.

And Ben Bentil should be available in the 20s. Right now DX has him in the 50s which is ridiculous. He's very underrated despite his defensive woes.

I dunno man I just get this weird David Lee type vibe from Sabonis...

I like sabonis quite a bit but if we workout skal and really like what we see, he would seem the more obvious choice. MU wasn't scared to reach on Bruno and now he's developing well, we seem to have a really good support structure and developmental staff in place, if you believe in both the player and staff go for it.

Luwawu would be good just he has to know a lot of those dribble he does the refs will definitely call him for palming the ball

Man, I'm just really looking forward to this draft.. A lot of sneaky talent here.

One of:
Luwawu, Prince, OG, Brown possibilities at the wing

and the other:
Maker, Skal, Chriss (Talent is there don't ike his mental make up though), Rabb to pair with JV.

Alot of Sabonis fans here, my biggest gripe with him is length. It is definitely not NBA compatible. Could see him ending up like T Robinson.

I don't really get a vibe from anyone I just feel like he's got his own thing going on

Completely agree. I know we need a PF but Luwawu looks like a Rich man's Thabo. Could be our starting SF for many years.

I hope we can get either Luwawu or Murray. Make it happen Masai

If Raps dont make it past the 1st round I bet Masai trades Lowry to his hometown in Philly for a couple picks. BC would pull the trigger on that lol

His dribbling alone should keep him out of the first round, dribbling is a skill and you can't teach skill.

Definitely a shaky handle, but assuming Demar is here, well need players who can excel off the ball.

I like Rabb too now again. He's smart and finishes well and rebounds. For a freshman his ball IQ is way ahead many other freshman. He can also get into a great defensive stance and hedge the screen. He`ll be a great pick and roll defender. If he hand a little more bounce he`d be amazing.

I like M.Chriss too. He has the bounce and the outside game but no where the IQ rebounding or touch like Rabb.

Rabbs going to be good nba player right away and will have a long career, his ceiling isn't high but his floor is probably nba starter.

I kind of want Chriss because his potential is high.

Marquese Chriss reminds me of Harrison Barnes

Labissiere is so confusing.

Golden opportunity to snag top 3 talent in top 10 or clearly a bust?

He's definitely the dark horse of the draft. There's one every year, kinda like how last year it was Mudiay
