His standing reach is actually only 1.5" worse than Miles Bridges and there are lots of people trying to sell Bridges as a good defender playing 3/4.

I really want us to pull off one of those Milwaukee deals from the fake trade thread involving Cody for 17, but I'm worried he'll actually go a bit earlier than that.

Was listening to a draft podcast today with Cole Zwicker and some guys from thestepien. They mentioned on multiple occasions how much Okogies size and athleticism stood out compared to the other wings at the combine. They also mentioned that he does take a little bit of time to load up when he jumps and isn't as explosive as someone like Zhaire Smith, though.

A guy that I could never bring myself to select at 11, but wish we had an early second again this year to grab him. FYI - NBADraft.net just bumped him from #57 to #32.

Hes definitely going 1st round. I'm guessing 15-25 range at this point.

I now have him as my top rated PG over CARR. I overlooked him. Easy to do when you are evaluating every single player lol.
