I see the mock drafts have us movin' on up in the lotto. https://www.nbadraft.net/nba-mock-drafts/ Tank life seems to be going smoothly so far.
Kuminga would be a hell of a consolation prize. It would be NBA Jams out there with KPJ lobbing it up to the front court in that scenario.
No Durant clone. Wayyyy overated, he’s much skinnier than Wood and not a great shooter. Can’t believe we’re tanking for this crud.
I think KD and AD comparisons are bit premature. Can hit 3ball but doesnt take many shots from distance oer game. Expectations should be at Bosh or Porzingas levels at most until his body and game matures. But I also like him almost as much as Cade. Suggs is clear #3 for me while Green/Kuminga are a tier below the top 3, with Green actually having the greater superstar upside.
It is absolutely time to tank, I think we should even look into trading Wood for a top pick if possible as well to guarantee we get our draft pick this year,no sense in him coming back for a few games to ruin our chances. He is 25, not 21 like KPJ. The picks we get if they are good will be one and done guys at 19 years old. It will likely take a couple of years to develop them. Wood also seems like he will be injury prone, I recall when he was on the Hornets Jordan yelling at him from the sideline to get in the weight room, his own player lol. That was 5 years ago and he looks physically the same.
there is just no way to guarantee we have our own pick unless we get OKC to trade us the swap rights back . we probably shouldn’t trade wood . At least not this year , next year maybe . Especially if he is head and shoulders above the rest of the roster and we are mediocre.
I’m actually cool with any of the top 5 talents. I think Cade has separated himself as the number 1 prospect at the moment followed by Mobley and Suggs and Kuminga. I love Greens explosion and tenacity though .... Rockets need a lot and multiple guys ... I’d prefer to get our future pg sooner rather than later. I want Cade or Suggs
