    No one really knows about these foreign cats, we just have to trust the brass to make the best pick and/or trade.

    If we trade for a veteran stud, along with a pick in the 10-12 range...Salaune, Buzelis, Knecht, D. Carter...one of these guys.

    Personally, I think Risacher is going to be the best player in this draft.

    Not a short bus thread.......not a shut in thread........just gauging...........
    OUR team........as we want it.....
    Maybe our TEAM for a while, as well........
    BIG DECISIONS

    Like the suggestions here so far ...........

    Yet....

    In need of.....

    Specs?
    Fits?
    Directions?
    Surprises?

    Brainstorming with the rest of you.......

    So far...
    To Me....

    Current keepable haves......

    Smith Jr- shot/defense
    Segun - playmaker/ scorer/ defense when wants to
    Eason - everything offense /defense everything
    Whitmore - scorer/ defense when wants to
    Thompson - playmaker/ defense/ multiple positions/ scorer

    Pieces to compliment them their impact?......

    On the roster currently/ Should be added/ Or facilitated with a trade......suggestions for what I see as the "real core".........

    The players may be here already...who knows?.... or maybe more help is needed........wondering like everyone else?......

    And of course there's still the possible ...."JGWC" or "Jalen Green Wild Card" perhaps in play........

    Is that an option or an non-option at this juncture?............

    The fun of being a fan.........

    Sheppard's such a good shooter
    Actually, Risacher as well is a hooper
    Recruiters, enlighten me, who the hell is Buzelis, can he play checkers?
    Real future should be the name spelled by first letters

    God, I need to do something productive.

    I don't think Sarr will make it to us, but I think you'd have to take a swing on his upside if he did. If he could become like JJJ with better rebounding, the fit next to Sengun would be phenomenal.

    I would pull the trigger on Sarr, but dude is very much a work in progress. He's not going to come in and be all-NBA out of the gate. Not sure this is always clear when peple rave about him.

    Are you asking what we think about the players in this draft

    We don’t know, nobody has ever asked us before

    Risacher's body of work continues to grow. He's a winner/connector on a playoff team. Looks solid.

    No Frenchies -- take Sheppard or Clingan.

    If we're going to draft a project then Buzelis. Don't want Capela 2.0 or crappier taller Jalen Green.

    I think Sarr has the potential to be much better than Clint. Whether he can realize is it is TBD. He actually took a fairly high volume of threes this season on a per-possession basis, for a big man, but only knocked them down about 30%. He just turned 19. Arguably a better chance he develops a jumper than Amen.

    I don't think he really has superstar potential, but again, maybe he could become something like a slightly-better version of JJJ

    I don't see many similarities between Risacher and Green at all... they're completely different players

    One of them will semi bust .....you would always get one or two of those......at least disappoint.

    In a weaker draft not everyone will get to be a quality starter.

    Also, to those of you saying Reed Sheppard... if Sarr or Risacher drops there's a very good chance Sheppard was taken in the top 2. I don't think that will happen though.
