This team needs to tank for Cade/Suggs badly

Yeah I agree.

If you're 6-10, I think you settle for Keon/Moody/Wagner.


Moody
Cooper
Zhaire

Cooper has the it factor. Zhaire ceiling higher than these other guys and he's been playing better. Moody has been solid all season. Need to see more from Keon. Maybe add Springer. If Jalen Johnson drops, add him.

That's about it. Not much #6-#10 but more likely than not we will be drafting in this range.

Tier 2
Moses Moody
Ziaire Williams
Sharife Cooper

If we don’t get a top 4 pick, I’m in favor of packing that pick with WCJ and expirings to get a top 3 to draft Evan Mobley. Hopefully, we can address our pg weakness in FA.

Knicks currently have the 6 and 9 picks in the draft. That Dallas pick is looking juicy with how bad they're playing and disappointing KP has been. Wonder if the Bulls could nab that Dallas pick.

Barnes is growing on me. His measurables are really strong.

Him and Patrick Williams at the 3/4 is pretty exciting to think about. And the guards will be the ones doing most of the scoring, Barnes has been good at distribution, hustle, defense.

My one concern (and frankly I don't watch much FSU basketball), is his rebounding numbers are really low. Not sure the reasoning behind that.

What concerns me most about Barnes is his lacking of shooting / scoring, especially his FT % - big red flag

Is it the scoring or rebounding? Or something else?

Watching Pat Williams, I'm leaning a little towards giving guys in that FSU system benefit of the doubt.

He's a bad shooter.

AK won’t draft a bad shooter or sign a non shooting FA. We’ve learned that already.
