Hopefully if they overpay for a 5 to replace Mitch it’s someone who can shoot the ball and not Drummond

Drummond has improved a lot. He’s been shooting the 3 ball with confidence.

BJ Boston is not looking good. I’m worried that if we drop in the lottery we will reach on him due to the Kentucky connection and it will blow up in our faces.

We need Ziaire Williams & Keon Johnson to sign with CAA if the lotto gods aren't gunna hook us up.

I feel you with that worry but I don’t think we’d take him with our pick. I think if he’s there at the Mavs pick, you take the risk. The draft itself is a risk but talent is obviously there and the whole Kentucky team has been playing trash. Those measurables are too good and we could develop him along off the bench like we’re doing with Knox.

I wouldn’t worry about that since he’s not even going to go in the lottery at all. Might be a mavs pick target though

He might also do another year..... same for Clark.

Kentucky looks like last years Knicks and BJ reminds me of a rookie RJ.

He is shooting with confidence. Its a pity that none of his 3 ball shots have entered the basket in the first 3 games...

I think he is tanking his draft spot to be drafted by the Celtics.

He could easily be a franchise player there...

Wonder where Sharife Cooper plays into all of this.
He’s the biggest wild card of the draft

Give me Devin Booknight or Kyle Kispert with Mavs pick

Gotta go hard for Suggs, I am cool with Green too, %14 chance at best for Cade is not even worth dreaming about consider a luxury if happens

Suggs/Frank
Trent/IQ
RJ/Kispert
Knox/Obi
Mitch

Where Kentucky's awfulness is making it harder to assess their talents because they don't have the spacing or structure that they will in the NBA, I think Gonzaga might be having the inverse effect. Where I have questions about how well Suggs would do with our spacing and supporting cast. Feel like if Suggs had gone to OK state & Cade gone to gonzaga, then nobody would be hyping Suggs up for that top spot & we'd be asking if Cade was the best prospect since LeBron.

Won't be surprised at all if Kispert ends up having a hard time living up to his draft position if he gets into the lottery.

Knowing the knicks luck the vets will drag us to a 8th pick .......again

or a 8th seed to get a 1-4 playoff run

Perfect range to land Keon Johnson or Ziaire Williams!

so, assuming Thibs works miracles with Randall and the rest, where would we likely fall to in the draft order? #8 again? or worse?
