He has missed a ton of games due to injury but I think either him or Scottie Barnes would be the best prospects that would fit right into our lineup next season. We don't need more shooting or shot creation with Klay coming back but we need length and playmaking at the wing and either of these guys can bring that

He had like 7 assists with 0 turnovers. But he did foul out and has fouling problems so it might be a struggle for him to defend in the NBA

Those are the two I also like in the 5-10 range.

They are still a clear jump behind the top 4 though, but everyone is. Johnson or Barnes would lock in our frontcourt for the next decade.

I like those two as well and I really like Springer.

And for our own pick I like Scottie Lewis and Ron Harper. For now.

Haven't seen Harper or Springer. But i'll check them out.

Lewis also my number 1 pick for our own draft pick if its in the 10-20 range.

Jalen Johnson is good, he's Ben Simmons like in transition, not quite as fast/strong but a better shooter by a mile...he's also a complete hound on the boards

?s=21

this is why I say what I said and Have been saying it.

Wiseman is not a 7 footer you take top 5, Mobley is...the difference in multi-level skill for both players is huge...you have no issues plugging in Mobley at the 4 if you want to either

positionally-locked players in today's NBA are a no-go as a high pick unless you're guaranteeing me an Embiid or something.

I am pretty shocked how bad Tshiebwe has been. Figured even if his draft stock lowered due to the NBA skillsets required, he would still beast in his sophomore year.

This dude looks so great to me. He's got great rebounding instincts. His jumpshot actually looks a lot better than I was expecting. Feels like he's a plug-in in a Iggy role off the bench, defending, passing, and making the right play. But has huge upside, and can slot in for Draymond at the 4 as he adds strength. I can also see him playing alongside Paschall at the 4.

Minny:
-If Minny gets a 2021 draft pick outside the Top-3, the pick is ours. If Minny gets Top-3 in 2021 draft, we obtain their unprotected 2022 draft pick.

OKC:
-If our own draft pick places within 1 - 20, we keep the pick and send two future 2nd round picks. If draft pick is placed 21 - 30, OKC will get the pick.

Based off this season so far, I can only see the OKC scenario happening where we keep our pick. With this being a loaded draft class, do you guys think we'd try to obtain a high draft pick (If, at all, possible?). We need bench scoring/shooters and some beef at the 4 and 5. I'd say Corey Kispert makes the most sense seeing both Wiggins and Oubre (He'll be gone after this season) can't shoot consistently.

How does Jalen Green compare to Anthony Edwards?

Oh wow I didnt know that. That could be huge for Kentucky.

How does Jalen Green compare to Anthony Edwards?

More athletic, more wiry, way more aggressive. I usually hate comparing players to all time greats, but Green really does move like a young Kobe from an athletic standpoint.

It's hard for me to imagine anyone more athletic than Edwards...maybe Green has better body control and feel but Edwards is an elite athlete...

[clyde21]

Green is a better athlete, more effortless mover, glides on the court, no wasted movements, Green is a brilliant athlete and it's not just because he jumps high

Edwards is definitely a great athlete. Green is even better IMO.

Here is Green this week playing with the G-League team. He has superstar potential:

Mobley reminds me a little of Durant when he puts the ball on the floor. Durant's handle was not what is now, and I imagine Mobley following Durant's path and improving that part of his game. I don't think he will be as good as Durant offensively, but he will be better defensively. To me only he and Cade Cunningham are the only franchise type players in this upcoming draft.

just absurd

We've heard a lot of people's favorite choices. Let's look at it a different way. Say we luck out and get the Wolves pick somewhere 4 through 8 or 9, who are the Ws most likely to pick? Who do you think will look good to Myers, Kerr, and whatever Lacobs are involved?

no idea, their drafting has been all over the place, doesn't necessarily have any rhyme or rhythm...maybe Kuminga who I like but not over a Mobley, Green's a stud but not sure if he fits here as well as the other top guys.

my targets in that range assuming Mobley, Cade, Green and Suggs are off the board would probably be Moody, Kuminga or Johnson...maybe Boston if I am feelin risky

[KevinMcreynolds]

I don't really see how Mobley is better than Wiseman. They have about the same quickness and Wiseman seems like he has a better vertical. Wiseman has better handles and shoots better. They both suck in the post, they both have no clue how to play defense. Mobley has better hands and touch.
