Haven't jumped on the Mitchell hype train yet, but he interviews REALLY well. I want four first rounders this year, not one. Go angle some big fish AND build through the draft. I'd be in heaven.

I don't think it's likely that Zach Collins or Lauri Markannen drop to us, but if they do (as I said before) you jump in with both feet. Either one will be an exceptional frontcourt player.

I like Justin Patton too. Lots of potential there.

Yes. No question. I also think we should be looking at Dillon Brooks, Johnathan Motley, Caleb Swanigan, and Jordan Bell.

My favorite of the third tier though is Semi Oleyeye:

Yep this draft is pretty interesiting compared to the few previous years. I also wish we had more picks.

Check this game to get an idea on Mitchel, he is pretty composed, he reminds me a bit of wade the way he moves. His 3pt shot and his defense look legit. His steal and block rates are pretty encouraging for a guard. He could be the perfect fill in if we were to trade TJ.



You should check DJ Wilson also as Stretch 4 with decent shooting, quickness, and defense.

I think Wolves might be our best comp at drafting Collins, I'm not sure how interested they would be in trying to help Markkanen's defensive woes on an already young and bad defensive team

The only thing that was unwelming about semi is his lack of lenght to defend the paint, he has pretty low steal and block rates wich usually are nice KPIs for NBA prospects.

I'd love that to be true. Let's cross our fingers and hope that one of the ones above us goes in on Harry Giles.

I like Mitchell more than Kennard, fwiw. In fact, Mitchell is a pretty good prospect. He's not terrible, I mean.

And DJ Wilson is an excellent pick around 20, if we trade down to get a couple later picks.

My ranking has changed day by day tbh. I started the process thinking we should just take Justin Jackson and be done with it. I genuinely like the pool of Markannen, Zach Collins, Mitchell, Kennard, and Frank Nutella.There's a chance none of these guys will make it to 14. I have really soured on Justin Jackson and John Collins.

Dwight's turning 32 this year, he wouldn't be the reason if they decide not to draft Markkanen or Z. Collins.

I just see them in need of a 2 guard more so than a big.

Guards
Fultz
Fox
Ball
Monk
Kennard
Mitchell
Ntilikina
Smith

Wings
Tatum
Josh Jackson
Isaac

Bigs
Zach Collins
Markkanen

Realistically, these are perhaps the 1st 13 players gone in the draft. Unless if a TOP 13 pick team secretly committed to Giles, I don't see any of these players falling to Miami.

Guys like OG Anunoby, Justin Patton, Justin Jackson, TJ Leaf & John Collins are the next guys in line for Miami to pick from.

Have a feeling that MJ goes with Kennard or Justin Jackson.

11/12 is where I have Kennard and Mitchell going. Can't figure out who Denver will go for. I think if both Collins and Markannen make it to 10 there's a good shot of one of them making it to 14.
