2022 draft/prospects thread

I know picking for need is shamed upon, but we need BIGS. I really believe Mark Williams will be the best C coming out of this draft, and might go lottery. That would make him 7 or so picks from where we are at. No player after pick #6 really excites me except him. He would be perfect to back up Nurkic, and would start within 3 years. High BBIQ, very skilled with ridiculous metrics. A solid smart pick IMO.

My dream of Murray is officially over. Super bummed.

Not really in love with anyone after months of scouting on YouTube. I guess it’s either Mathurin, Daniels, or Sharpe at 7. Ehhh… I think it’s gonna be Daniels but I like Mathurin the most of the 3.

Ok, my top 2 guys are off the board. I forgot this is what the draft is like for me.

Please don't follow this up with a trade.

Let's see if there is a trade down

Woj says its Sharpe

JasonStern · Post #508 » by **JasonStern** » Fri Jun 24, 2022 12:44 am

If Sharpe is a bust, he is a bust. But the guy has more potential than anyone else we could have drafted at #7. And trading him for a mediocre stop-gap starter is just going to perpetuate the treadmill.

I think we are loaded 1 through 3, and we just drafted a wildcard guard.

He really is a great fit alongside Simons.

It's a shooter's league

I like the gamble. Unfortunately I fear we traded Hart and Sharpe for og which I think would be a mistake

That **** Pelicans pick gets my guy

soobias · Post #515 » by **soobias** » Fri Jun 24, 2022 12:52 am

i think it's for a trade later

Norm2953 · Post #516 » by **Norm2953** » Fri Jun 24, 2022 12:54 am

Toronto board seems to think OG is gone.

Don't know why they would want both Hart and Sharpe,

Dame Lizard · Post #517 » by **Dame Lizard** » Fri Jun 24, 2022 12:55 am

I'm very happy. Sharpe could be the best player in the Draft.

Teams like Portland need to aim high, and that is what we did.

I love Dyson too, but he projects to be an elite role player (with upside as an Iguodala calibre player, and a very high floor). We could have got the next Anthony Edwards. Or he could be the next JR Smith.

If we trade for OG, I'll still be happy. No to John Collins though.

(Edited for a mistake)

Ant is a free agent. Can't be traded until July and then as a sign and trade.
