If you think Giddey can guard SG, I think Jalen Johnson needs to be in consideration at 16. I hade him 5th on my draft board and think the culture of really professional guys like SGA, Josh and Kemba could be a great core to help keep him mature and in line. I think OKC can afford the character risk, because on talent he is a tier above eveyone outside the Top-4 IMO.

Take Garuba at 18 and ideally you can run this in the future.

G - SGA (6'6)
G - Josh Giddey (6'8)
F - Jalen Johnson (6'9)
F - Aleksej Pokusevski (7'0)
C - Usman Garuba (6'8)

Just not sure Josh has the footspeed to stick w/ SG. Probably need to be realistic and take a G or C.

For us, I'm really hoping we can come away with some combination of Sengun, Trey Murphy, JT Thor, Mamu and Bleijenbergh.

I liked primo a lot but and was hoping for him later in the draft. It still seems like a bit of a reach at 12.
