Seems very confident and understands his flaws and what to work on. It's the exact opposite with Deyonta though. Getting an answer out of that guy is easier said then done.

Thon maker/ furkan korkmaz (9thish)
- Everyone might balk at this but Odds are with our team we will not be in the lottery much in the future, these are both reaches with current projections but they are swinging for the fences picks. both reaches but they've both got the upside to roll dice on if Masai thinks the character is there for them to maximize their potential Deyonta Davis is another people like here as do I but that is a safer pick,it's hard to argue maker doesn't have a higher ceiling. He is only a couple months younger but has shown flashes of slot more variety than Davis. That athletic testing was literally off the charts too as he set a couple records for 6'11 + players at combine. furkan screams potential for someone looking that fluid at that size and that young. I think he's like 3 years younger than luwawu who again might be a safe pick but I think we may go for it.
Caris LeVert / cheik Diallo/ Patrick mcaw (27)
If doctors approve of LeVert and he's around I think it's a no brainer. Pg-sf defensive all NBA potential with a jump shot and may or may not get to the point of being an NBA playmaker but easily could be a secondary ball handler
Mcaw could be a healthier younger version of LeVert in many ways
Diallo could instantly fill in some backup big mins with a chance of developing into much more

I wasn't too high on either, but with Rabb back in school i could live with picking one. If Davis, I hope he can improve his offensive game to be at least okay. I'm also worried hell be a little slow defending the perimeter and we need quickness with JV.

Korkmaz is fine. Maker could be available with our own pick.
