If that were the case, wouldn’t Paolo be a better fit as a grab and go/initiator option? Draft Duren or Walker with the 12 and the front court is set.

Personally I’d have thought they’d want the ball in the hands of Giddey and SGA more, rather than adding another ball operator. Chet would still be a great fit with them. I just wonder if Chet and Duffy are getting the sense he could slip on draft night and fall to that #3 pick, so they’re just trying to cement a top 2 spot for him?

Draftnet has Murray moving up to #3 and Chet falling to #6.

ive liked Murray. i know he gets knocked for being a little older. but his production was good at all levels.

I also like Paolo, and if so, call up Houston and see what you could get to go along with #3. I think Paolo will be available at 3. but thats only if they really want him.

I don’t see Chet slipping past 3, and especially not past 4. He’d be a great fit on either team. Chet + Sengun would be one heck of a crafty front court, good compliments for the defensive end, and frankly I’d love to see it.

Murray will outplay his draft position and could eventually prove to be worth a top 3 pick, but I don’t think a team before Sacramento looks to draft him.

I’m really intrigued to know who’s gonna trade for Sacramento’s pick. If Chet is miraculously still on the board they should keep it, but a team like Miami or Philly might throw a wildcard offer at them (Herro or Harris for the pick?). I’d like to think we make an offer.

If this is true, what is Suggs telling Chet about the Magic? Being that they've played together since middle school and went to the same colleges, I find it odd for Chet not to want to play with his buddy that was a top 5 pick in the last year's draft...

Unless he's truly hiding medical records and has real heart concerns, there is no way he falls out of the top 5. That mock draft is crazy.

Yeah... draftnet used to be pretty reliable. A lot of teams were shocked as wellt hat Chet dropped so low.

I dunno their cred lately though.

Their final mocks often are good but every media outlet starts posting random stuff like this in the days going into the draft to get clicks.

I remember Chad Ford started saying Noah Vonleh was going to us at #4 in 2014 like the day before the draft.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.
