I think Nesmith or Hampton would be the likely targets. But I’ll throw out another name that people here probably won’t be excited about - Precious Achiuwa. He’s a guy that I know that Detroit interviewed.

If im weaver I would be tempted to slightly reach on Aleksej Pokusevski, he looks very intriguing.

Deni is risky as hell. He could def be great. He could totally bomb.

And we didn't move up, which really makes me wonder why we tie ourselves up for several years to get 16 in this draft.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I was thinking Boston would grab him at 14 so not to much of a reach. Especially now that they got CP3
