    Choose the guy with the biggest upside and package him with Westy for a young, healthy star. Not Jeremi Grant, someone better than that.

    Remember when the topics were what teams do you want to face in the playoffs. Good times

    Now it’s we have the 16th pick in the draft. Ouch

    RJ does have good potential.

    Hopefully we know more about hardens and WB situation by tomorrow. Hopefully we are looking to draft a shooter/scorer to pair with Simmons.

    They should look for a left handed guard who has a insane step back and the ability to get by his man at will. Beard preferred.

    I'm not ready for this.

    Hopefully Stone drafts better than Morey. Those sam dekker, marcus morris, patrick patterson, jeremy lamb, terrence jones, royce white mid 1st round picks doesnt cut it for me

    This guy would be decent at 16 too.

    Imagine going from "Harden + one of the best defensive centers ever" to "Harden + one of the best PGs ever" to "we have 2 MVPs on this team!" to looking forward to see who we draft with the 16th pick.

    Womp freakin' womp.

    If we do plan to build around Ben Simmons, a stretch 5 who can block shots is needed to open up the floor for Ben. Jalen Smith looks like he can develop into a Myles Turner type player who could also be a rim runner / lob target.

    Long, athletic wings with good handle, good shot and weak side block potential are rare.
    Doesn’t have to be a banger inside, he’s not that type of player.

    Achiuwa looks like another good option as a defensive stretch 4/5

    Looks like MCW....slightly better shooter I’m sure that will get Harden to stay.

    I don't think he has great upside, more like a Bibby type. Is mature, I admit. Stone hopefully will have an advantage as rival GM's call him in exchange for their favorite choice at 16.
    @ApacheWarrior
    If the 7'0'' Serbian Alexsej is fit, he might possess the highest upside in the whole draft, despite the potential risks of getting injured or failing. There will be low balling, but Stone might just get a good return with this pick. I don't think DM will give up Simmons/ Horford for WB and the 16th pick but that would be cool. Nevertheless, I'm hesitant to acquire Simmons because of his injury history.

    Morey would approve 6'9 power forwards
