Ron Harper sized PG. Can defend. Decent shooter. Quick enough to get to the cup. Doesn’t seem like he needs to dominate the ball or have the offense run through him.

And he has onions.
I think I like him the best of all the PGs and he’s continuously mocked below Trae and Colin too but I think he could be playing his way into the top 10 too.

Trae worries me because of his size and lack of defense. Sexton worries me because of a lack of a shot and the fact he seems like he'll always be injured. I like Shai better then the other two.

I also really like Zhaire Smith. Him declaring is probably dependent on how far Texas tech goes.

I was hyped for Shai Gilgeous Alexander before the SEC tournament where he's considered late lottery. From then, he's just killing it and I fear that ship has sailed to the top 10 area where we don't have a pick.

Another intriguing guy aroung late lottery is Mikal Bridges, but he's even probably higher than Shai Gilgeous on the boards at the moment.

I'm not really interested about other guys. just hoping our scouts can find something on the late lottery.

It's starting to look more possible...We are gonna end up with 10 or 11, Pistons are 12 right now but there's a wide gulf to 13, but 10 and 11 are nipping at the Pistons' heels. Plus Lakers at 11 don't keep their pick.

If I had to guess I would say we pick 11th, with a 30% chance at 10th.

If by some miracle Trae is available to the Clippers on draft night I would absolutely pull the trigger on him. He has an incredible knack for scoring that I think will translate very well in the NBA. His size isn't ideal but he's no Isaiah Thomas in that regard. I think he's definitely worth the gamble.

Let's just draft both Bridges and call it a day.

yeah it's looking like that.

i don't think young would fall to us but if it were between him and mikal bridges

we take young every time, right?

Yeah I definitely take Young, more risk of busting but you gotta shoot high right? Would love Mikal too, don't think he'll be a pivotal player on a team, but he'll probably just do most things right and be really solid. Sort of like Prince has been for the Hawks or something, and although it goes against most people's beliefs, I kind of think those players are more important than one dimensional scorers when you're building a team from scratch. Obviously I think Trae can be more than that, but I mean that I probably rather have a Taurean Prince or two than a Devin Booker if I'm starting a team from nothing.

Not a big fan of Miles, I think I liked him more last year than this. I'd rather go for lower ceiling guys like Thomas or G-Alexander or even reach a bit for guys like Robinson or Hutchison. But if we ended up with both of them it'd probably have been a good draft.

I know very little about him but that helps us no matter what, another mid-1st round pick potentially for us or to bounce another guy to us (twice since we have 2 mid 1st picks!!)

Quake Griffin · Post #278 » by **Quake Griffin** » Thu Mar 22, 2018 7:51 pm

Ranma and Tucson are big on him.

I’m less thrilled given his physical profile but I want to learn a little more about him before I make a final judgment whether I like him as a pick.
