    Part of what people aren't thinking about is that Bamba is a restricted free agent. Do the rockets have enough money, or would they be willing, to take a shot at him? I wouldn't mind it to be honest.

    That then opens up the possibility of us taking Ivey and playing with essentially a small 3 for most of the game. If you play a switch defense, it might work out okay.

    KPJ
    Ivey
    Green
    Bamba
    Wood/Sengun


    With our second pick I would go with either Dyson Daniels, Dieng, or Jovic.

    To me those guys in the middle of the first round all give you tons of potential boom ability, which is what we should be looking for. The added plus of those three guys is that they're all fairly versatile guys in my opinion. If the draft were to go this way, I'd be thrilled, because I think it would give the team an extreme amount of versatility.

    I'd also be thrilled with any of the big three, though Banchero is probably the lowest in my rankings of them. That all could change though.

    that was debatable because tmz couldn't verify if they were legit ladies or thems that identify as ladies.

    Pick Banchero if available and then package the #17 and other assets to trade up for Duren or Williams, that way I'd have less issues with Banchero and Sengun's defense.

    But tbh could see Banchero going at #2, as he has more media&star appeal than Jabari, which OKC is in need of as a small market team.

    I wouldn't mind a trade down to get Jalen Duren or Jeremy Sochan, tbh--but would have to be a decent pick up.

    sheesh. I didn’t know Gonzaga was like that, I thought it was like Greece.

    On the other hand, great marketing for a tranny center. Chet can get us all the proactiv sponsorships.

    What if we trade the 3 for 4.

    kings give us next year first & 2nd round pick. We give them Wood on top of it.

    Banchero, Holmgren, and Smith have all been talked #1 at some point. It' s a no lose situation.

    Holmgren will take more time to develop.

    I am in love with Banchero's midrange game, which we sorely need, but don't like the fact that he seems to be stuck in ISO.

    Smith's floor is Kleber and ceiling is Durant.

    I'm not going to lie, I get vibes of Morant from Ivey all day long--but do we convert him to PG? He is also VERY streaky from 3, which we already have enough of.

    With 3rd pick, I suppose analysis paralysis is less for Stone. He just chooses whomever is left over of the 3 bigs.

    I would give up some assets to trade up for jabari. 6’10, athletic, 43% 3pt in college, and dude looks natural to pack on muscle unlike Chet

    I am liking Keegan Murray. His handle aren't great. His shooting is very hot and cold, and he is old, but I he produced at a high level in college, and mainly improved his game every year. His comparison is Siakam, and if he shows the same improvement he can definitely be a star in the nba,

    if Chet or Jabari drop, then great, but if Paolo is there, I doubt he won’t be the pick so it is what it is…I can’t control that and have resigned myself to it…I’ve made my peace

    despite whatever I might say about him, I do think he’ll be good on offense…a 20 and 10 guy

    if Stone went outside the box and took Sharpe because he just looked like that guy, I’d be down with that too

    at this point

    not like there’s a choice anyways…we’re picking from whatever is left

    It is still a valid calculation that both would be taken before our pick.

    Plan A, B should still be in full effect.
