    Im actually rooting for that as well, especially if we can’t move up far enough to get one of those guys.

    I would think that pick you traded for, Bucks pick, Rockets pick (let's say pick 8-10) and a player like Christopher or Sengun would get you into the top 3-4 and maybe a decent player back in a position of need off the bench.

    You then have Green/Paulo or Jabari/ top 5 pick/cap space for a FA or the Nets picks to trade for a max player

    Random hypothetical lineup

    PG Anthony Black 6'7" (A big point guard/wing with great 3pt shooting ability and can play above the rim. Handles the ball well and is a great passer)
    SG Green
    SF Jabari Smith/Paolo
    PF John Collins (FA)
    C Sengun?

    Big Anthony Black fan but it might be cheaper to trade up for Dyson, but maybe not with all the buzz he's generating....

    Another idiot that knows nothing about basketball.

    Here is a video of Baldwin given space. Fast forward to 141 of the video
    when Baldwin releases a 3 and turns to bench before shot goes through
    the rim.


    That's Bird like
    That's Steph Curry like
    That's Dirk like
    That's Doncic like
    That's not Banchero like

    That's a player that shoots thousand 3's a day and has good confidence in his shooting...
    if given space next to Green/Porter/Christopher could do damage.

    Do people really not understand spacing or lack there of because a guy
    is triple teamed. Robert Morrison gave him space and he put up 26 points
    while shooting 3's Banchero couldn't shoot with confidence in his dreams.
    Busted the zone by getting to the soft part of the defense and hitting
    leaner/floaters.

    Don't listen to me then. But when he does well in the pros I will be saying someone called it.
    Morons, spoon-fed media hype vs just basketball understanding.

    I don't really like his tendency to twist on some of his shots / pullups. I agree with you the potential is there.. He is awesome spotting up.. He doesn't offer a whole lot outside of his shooting... Memphis took Ziaire at 10 after his middling Stanford season and I could see PBJ following a similar path.

    Davidson was 7th in the nation in points per game
    Milwaukee 323rd in points per game.

    Slight difference. Not sure Curry had the ankle problems his freshman season....
    or had COVID?

    But again 7 open shots all season

    How much was frustration because of no spacing?

    But I've posted like 10 times on the guy and the Banchero B*****
    are coming out saying I've posted a million times.

    I'll drop it before they start crying.....more

    Your the idiot comparing him to bird curry dirk and doncic. Your just embarrassing yourself no one even needs to say anything.

    He looks like a solid tall shooter that may become a starter in the league

    But have fun if your post another 100 times about him maybe we will all be convinced

    Got good size and length. Play well in the tournament. Think he will be in lottery. Never thought we can get him.

    If you play long enough there will be time you can get hot and look unstoppable. The question is can you do it consistently. Baldwin obviously haven't show that in NCAA. He may be late boomer like Wood. But right now he's not worth a first round pick.
