So who do you guys, and separately, do you think your forum wants more overall in the draft? Young or Doncic? I see everyone talking about Young, but obviously most lists have Doncic at 1 and Young more like 4-6 (or wherever one of our teams land).
Most want Young, then Doncic. They seem to think Young will not go as high as expected and we can get him around 5-7. I admit I have just peaked in on their convo because I am not watching. I don't care who they draft because I think our FO puts names in a paper bag and picks, then we ignore them (Hezonja) or crap on them and give them away (Vic, Tobias, Ariza, pick from plenty of others) I don't try to predict anymore I just watch and smh.
You mentioned you read our player threads...you should check out our draft thread as well...I have run many polls...sometimes with who people want if multiple players our available (like if we get 1 or 2)...at 1 it has been Doncic/Ayton/Young in that order...but if you just go Ayton vs Young (assuming Doncic is gotten and we have 2) it is much closer than they were...
So it seems like many our either that vote Doncic or Young when both are options against Ayton, will vote for the other (between Doncic/Young) if it was between only one of them and Ayton.
Also, Bagley beats Porter slightly in an overall vote (if we had 1st pick, though few votes for either), but head to head if we had to choose only between them two, Porter beats him.
All of our poll results are in the first post of that thread.
We need defense and 3 pt shooting, and probably a PG and C. The bad thing is, Young and Ayton are not good defenders, Bagley either...and Doncic puts more effort there and has the higher iq and better team D....
But JJJ and Bamba are defensive C's which we could use (both with tons of blocks), and JJJ is a great 3 pt shooter...both can switch on guards...so they are theoretical better fits than Ayton, but Ayton hype is high, likely partly because he plays at AZ, but also partly because he is highly ranked.
But a few of us who are AZ fans are lukewarm on Ayton and we probably watch him more.
For you guys it's a bit more of a quandary because you have centers but desperately need a PG and shooters or a transcendent player like Doncic.
I know your forum is hugely divisive on many things...I see all the reports there and besides the huge team forums, you guys lead the league there, and are much like our forum with divisiveness, but with far more people who get heated about it, so we are very similar, but you guys almost seem more frustrated than us, even though both of us started not making the playoffs about the same time...but of course you guys have had some huge #1 picks leave you and then also had to watch trading players who flourish elsewhere which has to be frustrating.
