Im worried CMB would be unplayable in the playoffs.

Wolf is interesting, but I’d want to trade back.

I need to look at Sorber more…he’s interesting.

Bryant feels fairly safe to me as an athlete with size and shooting…better prospect than Dunn, but kinda feels like a similar player.

Coward is also similar, but a bit smaller with more reliable shooting?

I think Fears is interesting if he drops. Has a ways to go though and is a guard…not sure we should be drafting more guards…still I might do it.

This is all very uneducated though. I really don’t know anything.

I always thought a big PG next to Devin would be ideal. How about Egor Demin?

Id love him, Fears, or even the kid from Illinois.

"Tall guy with great court vision and passing ability" always has at least a chance to be a pretty successful NBA type. He's got shot and quickness issues, though, and would have to get a lot stronger if he were going to be a cross-match type that plays perimeter on offense and guards more on the interior.

Carter Bryant played less than 20 mpg, had a 1:2 ast to turnover ratio, took like 100 total 3PAs all year. He had 4 double digit point games all year for AZ. He is RAW RAW RAW. It is asinine that he is a lottery pick, I don't know college ball much but I do know AZ sports and I watched him. Is the draft THAT BAD that he is considered a 10th pick overall?

I also find myself intrigued with the PGs. I think I’m cool if we take the wings(Bryant or Coward), as they feel like safe plays, but the PGs feel like they have higher ceilings. Don’t love any of the bigs at 10

Ya it seems it gets kinda bad after the top 5…not a lot of high end wing talent after the top guys, so that’s why Bryant and Coward have risen.

Man just trade the pick for a younger established guy or trade down and pick up an extra asset and take a swing in the later lottery. We can't afford to miss here

It's really a top 2 and the 3-30 I feel like could go in any order lol.

I think VJ and Tre will go top 5…but after them I agree. I don’t know what Utah does if those two go 3/4. They should just draft Ace Bailey, but I have no clue what Ace is doing. Skipped all his workouts.

To me, in terms of draft position it’s:

1. Flagg
2. Harper
3-5. Edgecombe, Johnson
3-8. Ace Bailey
5-30. Everyone else

Yea don't love CMB or Bryant, especially at 10. Both feel like guys who should go in the 20s. I could see the FO taking CMB tho.

Yeah, trade down with OKC.

What about just 10? I’d trade 10 for 15 and 26’ 1st tbh

I'd try to add on Royce or Grayson for one of their forwards.

Sorber is my target. Really liked his game at Gtown this year. That team fell off a cliff when he got hurt. The toe injury will prob keep him out of summer league and he’ll take a little longer to develope but I think his ceiling is higher than the other bigs. Queen is interesting too but his weight could be an issue.

If they trade back to early teens and pickup up an additional asset and nab Sorber that would be a big W in this situation

10 for 15, 24, and the Utah top 8 protected 1st next year. That pick is likely converting to 2 2nds, but I want it in case Utah wins too much or gets jumped in the lotto.

That’d be great
