Pre Draft Discussion

Does JJJ really have more potential then Chriss IF Chriss gets his head right?

I mean, they even have similar personalities and similar faults right? Both seem super intelligent and personable off the court yet both had foul trouble and could disappear on the court. Sure JJJ has the height advantage, but I'm not sure I'd give up the farm to take him when we have Chriss who still has potential.

Sounds like you want Dragan Bender. I mean I'd be surprised if Bender can't average 8 this season.

I'm an alternate universe where he was born with testicles

I wonder if we can convince him to jump on TRT.

(I'm only half joking)

Sorry, but Bender's good defense is more of a legend than reality. We need a great defender at PF.

Opposing players salivate when they found Bender in front of them. I have seen that so many times during the season.

Peltons rankings

I don't see it but maybe I just missed his name -oops finally found him at 48

Holiday

Smart man has Okobo at 13 and Holiday at 48

Hopefully we can get Okobo at 16 tho

I was just happy to see Pelton had Ayton 2nd with a line so he is differentiating. I knew he like Doncic but glad he didn't have Ayton like 7th or something 5th

Okobo would be awesome!

If Porter falls to 12, we gotta trade up for him.

We could not watch him in a workout or his medical info?

I do not like that we do not have solid info about him.

I would actually be okay with giving Porter a "redshirt" year - that would be fine with me

ruffian014 wrote:Hate to hijack this thread, but can anybody help me understand why Deandre Ayton is consensus #1 considering the way todays NBA game is played today and his athleticism compared to Bagley? Comparing the two, Bagley seems the more mobile, athletic, and not the traditional center Ayton seems to be. In addition, not sure how Ayton gets all the credit for dominating the PAC 12 where there arent any legit PF or Cs whereas Bagley dominated grown men in the ACC? Only a few hours before draft and dreading that the Suns will most likely select Ayton, but trying to find any positives in it.

NOPE, too late fore all that. Figure that **** out on your own or go back and read all tbe pages to the top 4-4 threads here(ayton vs Doncic... Off-season) too close to draft to bring this **** up. Kick rocks with that!

Got it, just dont see high ceiling in ayton, maybe a few all-stars if that, considering he will be competing against KAT, AD, Kristic, Jokic, Adams, Capella, etc. At least w/ Bagley, you have a more athletic and more fluid scorer. But hey, lets go back and reinvent the Kobe and Shaq days wth a guy that was not able to dominate against 6'7 centers from buffalo

I'm all about MPJ at 12. Our medical team will get him right even if he needs a redshirt. Everything I read said he will make a full recovery, not as serious as Embiid.

But how? Something more than our assortment of picks needs to go, too. Bender, Chriss, Warren? Probably 2 of those 3, right? That's a lot. I just don't see it.

Who would you rather take at 16 if one of these guys slipped?
