Not having a true point guard means we are gonna need all the help for players to facilitate. Danny Wolf helps that problem and helps our desperate need for size. Him and Book would play great together. Allows us to attempt to play a 5 out offense. Sounds good to mean. We are clearly going to trade Grayson or Royce for a big of some kind, probably Grayson.

Would the heat do this? Is this selling too low on Grayson?

Rozier fucking sucks but I just want off money tho and Rozier expiring lets us do that, I’d be cool with waiving Rozier after this even. Use the 20th pick to fill another need hopefully.

I thought we couldn't bundle players in trades because we are over the 2nd apron.

I'd like Egor Demin.

He'd make sense with this backcourt, but I just don't see him being ready to actually contribute.

How long do you think that would take? I watched him pretty much all year, I felt like I saw quite the dichotomy between his tools and how raw he understandably is at his age.

I have no idea. It depends on how well he can adjust to the size, strength, and athleticism of NBA wings and POA defenders, not to mention improving his shooting.

Yep, his free throw shooting percentage worries me in that regard.

But yeah, I feel like I remember that both of us were also fans of Tyler Haws...? I'll always be surprised he never made it in the league. BYU's historical track record, though, of guys in the pros having successful careers hasn't been exactly stellar. But here's hoping Egor and AJ both change that.

Demin is probably too much of a risk at #10. Khaman Maluach is probably my preferred choice right now.

Josh Giddey took awhile to get going and last year he was 14/8/8 on 47% from the field. I also want Demin, but I think they go big man.

My hopes are not too high, considering the fact that last time we had the #10 pick we passed on someone who could be the Finals MVP by later tonight. And that was with a more competent front office.

I think Coward, Traore and Raynaud were added in the last day or two.

It shows Danny Wolf as ranked #29 which happens to be one of our picks. I thought maybe we could grab him at 10 but maybe he'll slide. Also if that chart is accurate only Phoenix and the Bulls had him in for workouts. Chicago has the #12 pick.

Would it?

Can't say I'm locked into the prospects, but on the surface it seems a lot like prioritizing guys who're in their back yard.
