Looking sharp there, Ben, looking sharp.

Thank the freaking lord Toronto didn't get Cade or Mobley

Also Mobley is very similar to Christian Wood, wonder what Houston does there

I’m ok with this draft lottery result. Would’ve been nice to move up again but I’m happy nobody behind us moved up and New Orleans stayed put.

Feel pretty good about sitting at 11 in this draft. Magic could make out like bandits at 5 and 8 - a Scottie Barnes and Moody draft could set them up at the wings for a looong time. Add a combo like that to Anthony, Fultz, Hampton, Isaac, Bamba, WCJ and it feels like the start of something.

Didn't think of that. That's a sick combo. Jealous

If we get Kuminga at 11, I don't see how that's not a W for us.

I hope Moody falls to us, TBH. Jones wouldn't be a bad choice either.

Nothing to base this off of, but I don’t think we will keep this pick

amcoolio · Post #410 » by **amcoolio** » Wed Jun 23, 2021 2:27 am

Kuminga is super raw, I'd much rather have Moody or Barnes. But obviously wouldn't be mad if both are gone and we took Kuminga

I think I'd rather have Johnson though

Kispert if we keep the pick. Sharpshooter who adds depth when Hayward misses 2 months due to a cold.

I don't think we will either, but I think it will be a trade back. I think Kupchak will trade back with the Knicks for the 19th and 21st picks. There's no way Thibodeau will want a bunch of rookies on his roster, they'll look to trade up.

I don’t think Borrego/Kup will want two rookies on the roster either. I feel like Myles Turner ends up here

Jonesing for Jones.
In the mood for Moody.
Krazy for Kispert.
Giddy for Giddey.

What else have we got?

amcoolio · Post #415 » by **amcoolio** » Wed Jun 23, 2021 2:36 am

Please don't trade the pick. Would MUCH rather have Holmes and Moody/Barnes/Kispert/Johnson/Wagner than trading the pick for some Jaxon Hayes type

I agree that they likely don't want two teenagers, one of those picks would probably be used on an upperclassman like Duarte. As for Turner I don't think we're going to pay the price that the Pacers will demand (which I agree with).

Mitch has an eye for talent, we should not trade out of the draft.

Liver_Pooty · Post #417 » by **Liver_Pooty** » Wed Jun 23, 2021 2:38 am

Add a center in free agency and continue to add young depth thru the draft. That's the best play in my opinion.

Wailin' for Jalen.

This season's 6th man of the year, most improved player, and rookie of the year were all drafted by Mitch Kupchak. I'd love to get Turner, but this team would be sabotaging itself if Kupchak doesn't have a first round selection.
