WOW!!

I would still sign a cheaper Vet SG and draft Moody or Bouknight before Duarte but I like your plan overall ..

Scenario plays out that OKC will give us 16 and 18 for 11.. Would you do it?? I say hell yes.. Depending on who might be there at 11 of course.. If Barnes drops no chance get him.. But if you have your choice of Moody or Bouknight (who I love).. Then just drop and you might end up with a combo of Duarte or Springer with Jackson (not high on but others like him) Jones or Sengun.. Which I will take in a heart beat..

Kofi Cockburn to withdraw from NBA draft and explore college options. https://www.google.com/amp/s/therookiewire.usatoday.com/2021/07/06/kofi-cockburn-withdraw-nba-draft-transfer-portal/amp/ Oh @rippadonn ... What did I say... And your boy Graza tested as maybe the most Unathletic player ever...lol Rule 1 ....don't fall in love with highlight video's...

Too many ? Mark's since he opted out.. Resume is lacking..

Watching more video on him he might be my favorite after Moody and Boukinght... His shot motion doesn't change no matter if it's a set, jump or off the dribble.. He's a tough willing defender.. He has some secret athleticism.. Only that's holding him back is his age... He came to workout for us so his 1st round agreement is after our pick I think.. But thank you for introducing me to this guy He is a fire prospect for us..

I don't do this alot but he reminds me of Klay Thompson...

I might put him at 5... His age sucks but he he has the perfect skillset..

I'd be shocked if they signed Zeller or Biz back and it's a either or situation with Graham or Monk.. I don't think we can afford both.. Won't be happy with Sengun because he doesn't fix rim protection at all.. He might be a solid offensive big but we will still be overmatched on the defensive and rebounding end... And even if we signed Monk I still look at the SG knowing Rozier might not be here longterm...

I'll agree to disagree about Barnes.. I think his size 6'9 , length 7'2 reach ball handling, defense of all 5 position makes him a can't miss.. At worst you get a taller longer Draymond.. At best you get Scottie Pippen.. I agree on Jones he needs more development and drafting him is a help later not now move.. But the potential is there.. Bouknight I thought the same thing with his similarity with Monk.. But he is taller longer not the athlete or explosiveness but the better defender and ball handlers already... And I love Moody too.. Right size right skill set would instantly fit..

1. Scottie Barnes Physicality extreme measurables.. Best defender in the draft.. high floor with high upside.. Won't make it to us.. 2. James Bouknight Super athletic, super scorer, super fit with Melo.. 3. Moses Moody.. Great shooter, all around guard, good fit with Melo... 4. Kia Jones.. Potential, potential, potential.. Won't be much help his rookie year.. But could develop into a franchise type 4/5.. 5. Keon Johnson.. Really good perimeter defender who is the best athlete in this draft.. Needs work on his offensive game..

He sucks and is a basement dweller...

Yeah I see the same YouTube clips but no word from the real beat writers or the team.. So I'll wait..

Seriously what are you smoking?? What film are you watching?? Kofi might not be drafted if he doesn't make the right choice and go back to school...

I wait until Woj, Broussard or Lavar say something... Ball facts, Numedia, DKl are a bunch of amateurs who throw a bunch of poo on the wall and see what sticks..

Then he leaves.. He is a 6'2 shooting guard who plays bad defense.. He has to have some selfawarness that his best shot at starting is here.. No other team is giving him max money...and I didn't say sign him to the Max.. Either he takes a good deal for both him and the team or we trade his expiring contract...

The team is looking to win.. So I have no doubt they aren't depending on drafting a starting C in the draft.. Mitch is way to smart and can see how this draft is playing out.. And if he wants a contribution from this year draft it will be at Wing.. This draft isn't strong with lottery bigmen.. Hopefully we are definitely looking at the FA route for a starting big...

So if neither starts day 1 will you remember this thread?? I bet neither sees a minute of a regular season game in the 1st 3 months of the season if they get drafted at all.. Just because we can draft them doesn't mean their worth drafting... And we have 2 young C already on the roster who are already developmental prospect.. Why add more... And I only brought up Mobley because he is the only day 1 starting center in this draft.. No other 5 (maybe Sengun) is starting 1st night of the season... Everybody else need way more development before becoming starters... That is reality no matter who you like..

Rozier isn't getting a max deal and I said whoever's takes the cheaper offer between Graham and Monk... You still have enough money to sign a significant FA center...

Then that will be a bet you would lose.. Mobley is a perfect example of today's nba center. He might have to get his weight up to get to his full potential.. But day 1 he is a problem on the offensive end for any C.. This Kofi thing you got is unhealthy.. He might develop into something in a few years but right now he doesn't have the skills to start in Greensboro.. He won't be drafted until late in the 2nd round and should really go back to school for Atleast another year... He isn't even in the same ballpark as Mobley talents...

Well again just my opinion there isn't any C in this draft beyond Mobely that is day 1 ready to play... You're definitely not getting him at 11 and it generally takes 3 years to develop a big if he isn't top 5 pick quality .. Which again nobody other then Mobley is that.. So if we want a starting C (which is a need now) we have to pay for or trade for 1... You are so excited about some of these guys but the truth is all but one Mobley will take years before they are a plus starter on a nba roster... That is reality...

Not trading Hayward.. Extension for Rozier.. And resign who ever is cheaper between Graham and Monk..

I'm starting to think FA is where we will add the bigs.. I don't see them drafting more young bigs.. I see (if we don't trade the pick) us getting a young wing player at 11..

Offensively yes... But if we're looking for a rim protector, rim running lob threat.. Is that really Graza??

Not a fan.. Need more athleticism not to mention the logjam at the Pf position we already have..

Hopefully QB and LT but most likely LB and CB...
