Who do we want with our 2nd rd picks?

One guy I really want is Johnny Juzang. Also JT Thor or somebody over 6’10 since Grant and Stewart are undersized at 6’8

I think with the combine going on right now we're going to have a lot better idea of who is first round and who is second round soon. Right now I see the same guys in mocks at 20 and 30 and 40 so its hard to know who really is in that range at the moment.

Jeremiah Robinson Earl? Villanova has a good track record going lately.

Max Abmas
Neemias Queta or Jay Huff
Isiah Livers or Scottie Pippen Jr

Would be fine with Juzang and Bones too but Abmas is my guy for our first 2nd

Do we have four roster spots? Not sure we do. Consolidation could be the play.

Lump them all together along with a player perhaps, and try to nab another 1st round pick.

If we let Cook and McGruder go we have exactly 3 roster spots (I'm assuming Saben Lee and Frank Jackson will be back). We can get 2 of the 2nd rounders to sign a 2 way contract. So we have plenty of room to draft 4 guys. I don't think we should.

Jerami Grant PF/SF
Cory Joseph PG
Cade Cunningham PG/SG
Mason Plumlee C
Killian Hayes PG
Josh Jackson SG/SF
Sekou Doumbouya PF
Isaiah Stewart C
Saddiq Bey SF/PF
Deividas Sirvydis SF/dead roster spot
Frank Jackson SG
Saben Lee PG
Jahlil Okafor C

I like Juzang too. And Wieskamp. Todd. Murphy III. Mann. Queta. Ibou Dianko Badji. Dawson Garcia. Many more.

This is a deep draft.

yea i think either we will package them together, or trade one or 2 of them, no way we use all of them.
The other option is using 1 pick on euro stash which wouldnt surprise me either

Ditto. Said it right off the bat in the potential 2nd round steals thread. Dude will take the crunch time shots--and make them--every game. He's flat out a balls out scorer with guts and that translates to the NBA. And if Franz Wagner is available I'd grab that guy too. I don't think he will be and maybe I have some Michigan bias, but while he definitely needs some improvement before he can become an NBA starter all the tools are there. Size, length, athleticism, inside/outside scoring, and defense.

Don't we need future seconds? Maybe try to flip one of this year's for a future. Or maybe there's a stash player out there.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

This, if we can pull of getting Cade Cunningham and Kia Jones in this draft somehow, Weaver would be a GM God.
I see Jones as Christian Wood 2.0

How many 2nd round picks do we have in total? two?

I think we should package the picks with Sekou+Okafor+Josh Jackson for a bench player + late 1st rounder

We have three, I'm not ready to give up on Sekou yet. He's still the youngest player on the roster, but this year is make or break as far as making a useful jump to being a capable backup PF.
