Wagner might be a good add for the Warriors here. He'd be like a young Iggy.

Yup. He is a Jordan Crawford in the making. Brandon Jennings could get his shot too.

The only way that guy is not a bust is if his poor performance were related to injury last season

In Bouknight's defense, the entire team was keyed on him.

Also true but I just was not impressed with that cat

Orlando should be running to the podium to take Wagner.

Possible some of these upcoming picks could be traded to us for 15 and 22, but not announced until later.

Oof. I would not have taken Kuminga. Basically period. The guy shot 38.7% from the floor. He's not a great passer. He doesn't get many steals or blocks. He's just a block of very long, reasonably bouncy clay.

Of all the people taken so far, he's the most likely to never get a second contract.

What's the reasoning behind trading up? After the top 5 or 6 players, there's a big middle. I'd just stay at 22 and draft a solid player tbh.

perhaps #15 + Bertans gets you the #8? Maybe there is someone the GM values?

Right! I was hoping Wagner would fall to Sac... great picks and the right ones for Orlando.

Now, Orlando trades a few guards and they are good.

I have to say, you've been on those two guys since the beginning. Orlando was intriguing before, but now I'll probably watch some of their games a lot of good young players.

They are going to be so much better defensively and in transition. GREAT draft for Orlando.
