Would love to trade MKG, and take this kid at 11. He just may be the player we all hoped Micheal would become.

Always love a defensive minded player. He is my second hope if we don't pick Mitchell.

Fine with me if he's there.

Clifford isn't willing to adapt our offense to suit 2 players at a time that aren't a threat from deep. So MKG and Zeller can't both start. The team isn't willing to bench MKG, but we'd be fine with playing OG on the bench. It's time for us to part ways with one of MKG or Clifford.

I think this will be the guy who's picked early and shocks everyone. Seems like a Thibs player.

Four months into his rehab for a torn ACL, Anunoby has progressed to set shots and jumping. The 6-foot-8 forward is expected to start running soon and participate in more basketball-related activities in June.

I just don't see how this guy fits what we want to do moving forward with MKG already in the fold. He reminds me of a cross between MKG and Vonleh coming in.

Great defensively, broken shot, not offensively gifted, but a tremendous athlete that 'could' evolve into a more offensively rounded player down the road. His mainstay looks like a glue guy that coaches love but lacks elite promise.

I feel like this unit is loaded with these types of players already....Kemba being the exception. We need a more dynamic scorer and threat that opposing defenses will fear. I'll take an offensively gifted, athletic specimen over another raw player that we have to wait 3-4 years on making a difference.

Not,interested in any major projects.

I feel like the same things that are being said about OG were said about Kawhi.

Both positive and negative

Except Kawhi put up much better stats, didn't have injury concerns, and projected to be a wing player who could guard 1-4 while OG is more of a Draymond short/long 4 who can guard down and up a position depending on matchups.

I see more Luc Mbah a Moute in him, maybe some Al Farouq Aminu

i don't think we can handle any more limited offensive guys at a position outside of center. What I've read about this guy screams Andre Roberson, aka poor man's MKG

Fair enough about the knee concern, not sure I agree with rest though.

And I think OG could guard 1-5.

I see some Brandon Ingram in him. I didn't check the stats but he looks like a better three point shooter. I suppose we could do worse at 11 if he was healthy but if we are going to take a risk, I still want to draft Giles.

I don't think Anunoby is the project some of you guys think he is. He needs to get healthy, yes, but if that knee is good he steps in immediately as a defensive stopper and rim runner on pick and rolls.

Doesn't look like a lotto pick to me. I'm pretty sure Clifford will have no idea how to use this guy effectively either.

I feel like we already drafted that at #2 overall in 2012. In a starting five, do we really wanted that much liability on the offensive end?
