    This team has me pumped for the playoffs already. So long as we avoid a team wide shooting slump, we look like a tough out for anybody, including GS. That being said, I think this year's draft is crucial to continue building towards a chip and bringing in some fresh blood. Therefore, my way too early draft wishlist. Please discuss.

    I would love to see us somehow pick up an additional first rounder. Even a back end pick we could parlay along with our own picks to move up for Bam Adebayo. He looks to be a guy who could be a difference maker behind Capela playing a role similar to Amare in MDA's phoenix days. Coming off the bench, he would, I think, be a contributor in year 1 along with Montrezl, Dekker and Gordon. Best case scenario: Dwight with less shot blocking and less postup demands. Worst case: JJ Hickson.

    A few others I would do more than kick the tires on are Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaron Blossomgame. Hartenstein as a guy whose ceiling is high and Blossomgame as a guy to groom as Ariza's replacement. Who else does the board like to add to the team as currently constructed?
