Is it possible to come out of the draft with both Jaden Ivey and Shadeon Sharpe?

That would probably mean sell on Suggs right now plus Maybe WCJ or Cole Anthony for another lottery pick.

Suggs, Tyus, Jase
Bane, AB, Jett
Franz, TDS,
P5, JI, Panda

It’s really difficult not to make the Ja comparison with Ivey. They look, act, even play similarly. Morant has been a mentor to Ivey which I view as a big plus.

If Jabari and Paolo are off the board, I’m fine with picking Ivey as of this moment. I think he’s a great starting backcourt partner with Fultz, more so than Suggs (who you all know I’m down on).
And then if you have a Cole-Suggs-Hampton backcourt off the bench, there’s something there.

I think I'm higher on Ivey than consensus. You could talk me into him being the best player in the draft. I think he'd add a much needed pop of athleticism on the perimeter that we lack. There's something to having the experience of being an offensive fulcrum that I still value, something that I don't believe Holmgren or Smith received (granted I have them #1 and #2, respectively).

And I don't really care about the glutton of guards on our team. None of them are really good or have given us a reason to commit to them long term.

Let's just say it's Ivey...anyone think we could move Fultz and/or Anthony for significant return? I'd even consider Suggs for the right package, but I think an Ivey/Suggs backcourt is intriguing...with Suggs being called a PG in name only (like all of MJ's PG's who dribbled up and handed it to him to start the offense)...I don't mind if Ivey is BPA, I just don't want to watch a logjam waste a couple more years of "analysis".

I'm high on Fultz and I think Cole could be good in a mentor environment...PHO has money pressures coming, how about Cole for Cameron Johnson?

What could Fultz fetch? I'd propose Kispert from WAS. Fultz could be nasty with Beal.
