Re: 2021 NBA Draft Thread
Been watching Jalen Green highlights (who looks sick) but all I can really think about now is wondering what Cade would've looked like in that environment. You can tell they're playing the NBA game. More space. The gather step etc. versus the college game. Feels like Cade might've looked even better in this environment.

I really like Jalen green. If we don’t get Cade, Green is who I want. I think his game would really complement SGA. He also fits that a Presti mold.... long athletic and young.

I think Green might have the highest ceiling out of all of these guys. I was scared of him being like Zach Lavine of yesteryear but I’m much less concerned about Green after his G league performance. I wouldn’t be surprised if Detroit takes him at number one if they landed the number one pick.
I’ll be happy with any of the guys we get in the top five but I’m lower on Kuminga than I was earlier in the year. I feel like Suggs is going to be a guy that will have a greater impact than box scores and stats show. I’m still a believer in Mobley too. I wouldn’t be shocked if Okc had the fifth pick and passed on Kuminga. I just have this feeling that Sam might really like Keon Johnson.

Unless workout went drastically well for Green or bad for Cade , I fail to see a team on 1st going contrarian and not pick Cade first.
I do see it as more likely someone will wow the team picking 5th that they decided to go with another prospect over Kuminga.

He's good but I wouldn't take him above Cade and Mobley

Cade is my number 1 choice...then green... then Suggs.
I’m not hating on Mobley, he’s a good player. I just think Sam has been better at drafting guards than big men. Although after last nights win I’d be happy with any of those players

The more I read the more I want to end up with josh giddey.
Basically end up with Cade , Giddey and a late first for Garuba if it was possible.

Good news for us - was hoping they'd have it this year for our incoming group, likely see 2nd year guys like Poku go as well

The idea the Garuba is just a PF/C is strange to me. I see a lot of OG in his game

He represent very good value in the 20s to me . Rotational player in the frontcourt upside for me.
Do you foresee him being able to contribute much on offense ?

He’s shown flashes of it. He’s still so young.
I think he is quite possibly the best defender in the draft

So we get 76% of a top 5 pick? I'm fine if we get picks 5 and 18 but worse than that would be terrible bad luck in such an important draft for us.

The worst OKC can do is 7 and 18. If they move to 8, it will also mean Rockets move to 5, so they would get 5 and 8.

Final results. Higher odds of getting 2 top 5 picks than none at all, not bad.
This is going to be a loooooooooooong 4 weeks until lottery night.

Sengun is an elite talent imo.

I like Sengun a lot. If OKC doesn’t get Houston pick, I’d be all in favor of using Heat pick and some additional asset(s) to jump up from 18 to end of lottery (11-12) to get Sengun
