Wes Goldberg is an emotional tool. Not sure if that's who you were listening to, but Wes was suggesting that on his locked on podcast in a rant that basically was trying to show that Lacob was wrong in something he stated.

Giddey is our kind of player. Hope we get him at 14 though (unless he ends up a freaking stud, then it is acceptable for us to draft him at 7).

Maybe that was him. Can't remember. But it was so bad. He even mentioned Montrez Harrell. It's weird that these guys' jobs are to research on stuff we fans do as a hobby. And yet they sometimes have such awful takes.

Watch on YouTube

Springer's high school highlights.

Notice the footwork and the sneaky athleticism. Guy's doing windmills and 360's at 6'3''.

Watch on YouTube

College freshman highlights.

He's just so similar to Jrue Holiday and Kyle Lowry.

Thoughts on Tre Mann at 14? He's getting underrated I think. Wish he was more athletic, but he can put points on the board as good as anyone in the draft

I heard that too! He's the same guy who wanted to trade Oubre and the 2 picks this year for a guy like Aaron Gordon at the deadline. He also thought it would be better, for the Min pick to not convey this year because an unprotected pick is more valuable regardless of circumstances. I like him, but his takes the value of picks is not very accurate.

I don't mind his top two choices for 7 and 14 though, Mitchell and Wagner would both fit in nicely.

So many players I like in this draft. This next month is where the front office makes their money.

Yea that was Wes for sure. He wants vets so bad because he thinks the Warriors can't wait on young players to improve. The trades he proposes at times are awful. I'm not giving up two picks let alone one pick for Joe Ingles.

Yeah, I heard the same take. Rodney Hood was another. “See, they can match salaries for a veteran!” Thats Wes, unless theres another guy out there with these terrible ideas.

If Cade, Mobley, Green, Suggs, Kuminga, or Barnes are gone, right now Moody’s the guy I’m looking at at 7. But if any of those other 6 are there, I’m probably taking them, or trading it to somebody who covets them and is willing to give value to move up.

I wouldn't mind trading the 14 to drop back and snag 2 of the Knicks or Rockets picks.

If at 14 its Giddey or Davion or Kispert etc.... but instead i can drop back and Get Springer and Murphy? I'm taking those 2 guys instead. I mean they are in the convo at 14 for me, so it only makes sense.

If we could get him at 14 lol. I dunno the upside over Tre. Hard to trust wings without a first step nowadays

John Hollingers' latest top 20. While his opinion on some of the higher prospect placings is outside the general consensus, I found it to be a pretty good take. (probably because it lines up with a lot of my own picks!) Wagner High, Mitchell low.

Can you post his top 20? Not copy and paste the whole article but it's behind a paywall.
