We need to land Suggs.

Suggs is officially my number 2 prospect from this class. We need to do whatever it takes to tank and get top 2 pick.

Hes been in the top 3 for me for a while, not sure if this moved him past green, but if we land any of the 3 ill be thrilled

What you guys think about Juzang? Dude seems like he can be a great scorer in this league. Was projected 2nd round before the tourney, but I think he’ll jump up to lottery in the next mock. I can’t remember the last time we drafted a great scorer. If the bulls pick lands in the 10-12 range, I don’t mind taking a flyer on him.

If we don't get a top 5, I'll be happy with any two of those.

If you told me before this season we'd end up with Barnes and another lotto pick, no way I'd believe you. If we miss out on the top guards, I'd be very pleased with Barnes & Bouknight/Moody/K.Johnson. I'm even REALLY liking Duarte......A LOT.

Suggs is a beast! Hope he goes number 1 so we can get Cade #2 or #3, lol.

And if we didn't have JI and Chuma already, im tempted to "want" him. But I think we really need offensive firepower more

I'm looking forward to the Mitchell and Suggs matchup. He ended up with 11 assists and no turnovers, and he seems to have a real calm demeanor in pressure situations.

agree... if Suggs ccant be contained by what Baylor will throw at him then he probably is the undisputes #1 over Cade

He waa the #1 before the tourney started and maintained it until Cade just blew up

I feel like there are 3 guys worthy of going #1. The top of this draft is really good.

Cade’s athleticism is what bothers me. He might end up like Evan Turner. Can get anywhere in college, but the NBA is a whole different fiasco.

PrimeThyme · Post #1518 » by **PrimeThyme** » Sun Apr 4, 2021 5:13 am

Juzang is on my shortlist for that Chicago pick atm. 6-6 guard who is just an all-around scorer. Solid mid-range shot, functional handle, && strong finisher at the rim. High volume 3-pt shooter as well who shoots an excellent percentage at the line.

He was a high-profile recruit who went to Kentucky and just never settled into the right role. UCLA is credited with developing him as an all-around scorer and mid-range shooter, rather than just the 3 pt shooter he was utilized as at Kentucky.

The kid just scores the basketball. Not much of a rebounder or assist man, but he scores. I love him.

No coincidence that all the teams we needed to win, all lost today.

People said the same thing about luka and it doesn't seem to hurt him
Harden too isn't exactly the most athletic

It's about knowing how to set up defenders, how to use moves to get yourself open about keeping guys off guard etc

Not saying cade is luka or harden, but, like them I don't think his athleticism is going to hold him back
