29. In three minutes. :shock:
Yeah, that is over half a mile, having to stop and change directions 180 degrees ever 94 feet. Really impressive.

I really like Aaron Holiday at 16 if they decide to go with Ayton at 1.

Do you get the sense that Aaron Holiday is destined to be a backup point guard? Is there a starting-caliber point guard in the draft, outside of Young?

I think he's probably a backup, maybe a Darren collison like career. I imagine Sexton will probably be a starter in the league, maybe a Jeff Teague like career. I think DeAnthony Melton and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander can be starters if their jumpshots develop. Elie Okobo is a bit of an unknown, but he could be a starter.

It's not an issue of starter or a back up for me. The team needs ball handling and passing, and I think Holiday is worth trying out at filling that need at 16 depending on who else is still available.

I'm not convinced that Trae Young will be a reliable starter in the NBA. Maybe on a bad team, but I think he'd get eaten alive by most starting guards in the league right now.

Tony Carr reminds me a lot of Damian Lillard.
I like Carr. Think he'd be a nice second round pick up. He's a couple years away from being anything. With that being said how many of those do you want on this team?

Yes, I have to give it up for that one. That was quite brilliant.

Hum. He can shoot. Makes 36% on 6 attempts per game. Was a 22 year old this season, which doesn't need to be a bad thing when you see his polished footwork and array of moves to put up a shot. And on defense he definitely uses his length (almost 9 rebounds, 2 blocks).

He is all over the place. Some mocks have him last 1/3 of the first round. Others make him an early 2ndR.
