We brought in like 40 players for workouts -- you can tell how seriously we are taking this draft. I'm guessing they want a baseline for these prospects and keep tabs on their progress.

If we were more privy to the process and had the insights our team front office has with all the scouting and workout and draft reports I would have a better idea of who we are going to take but it's hard to gauge someone like Stevens and before him, Ainge. If I had my pick choice I'm going big with outside and wants to win attitude. We don't need guards or wings but obviously I'll take another wing with D and range. That being said does Yves drop to us? Do we move up to nab him? Does Brad take the Baylor Big? |

Yves Missi's explosiveness reminds me so much of RWill. And like RWill, Ives is not a perimeter threat.

I feel like Edey will be a bust at this level.  |

Matas looks nice. Young and raw but he is ahead of schedule than most all the other draftees at his position. He has best of both worlds type skills. Plays with a little international style and mixed it with the US game. Skipped college to develop in the G league.
He is not even 20 yet, super young and skinny, but putting on muscle. Listed at 6'10". I bet he might hit 6'11" before he turns 21.
Definitely lotto worthy maybe projected a bit too high as he will still be a year or two out before we start to see him live up to his potential. If he drops to pick 10 or later he will be a steal for someone. Not sure he is top 5. Detroit doesn't need him.

I see this draft as maybe a little hyped at the top. Which means the talent will even out middle and later part of the 1st rd. the 1-5 picks would be mid to late lottery in any other draft.
I'm not sure getting all hyped by French players just becuz of Wemby will be a good thing. Though if history is correct, they could prove to have long successful NBA careers if we gauge that by past players like Diaw, Parker, and what Wemby has done in 1 season etc.

No way Reed Sheppard goes [HASH]3!!! Hate to say it but I feel like maybe pick 10. Even then I think that's too high. I see a Jimmer Fredette type maybe better. There is no doubt he can shoot. I just don't think he is a top 3 player even in a weak draft.

Anyone want to make predictions who goes [HASH]1? Any Chance Castle sneaks in? Sarr or Risacher? Clingan sneak up to 1?

we need to take Bronny at 54! Im convinced! LOL and then if they really want him they will give us something. I'll take a pick.
I feel like LeBore thinks that if he can get his kid on the team he can turn him into an AS playing beside him and making him look good. Would be really fun to screw it to him.
He believes that will cement his name and legacy for another generation something MJ failed to do.

Already pathetic that a player can just get his crap kid into the L over probably 20 other kids more worthy of that spot. DO they stop that? Nope.

So Zaccharie goes 1.
Has pro experience at 16. Played with Wemby. Big pressure probably will be a nice pick. His dad was a pro baller.

Washington has no choice but to take Sarr after we stole KP from them.
