    Kira Lewis Jr. is a real Sleeper in this draft. That kid can shoot and is a blur with the Ball.

    He’s my favorite prospect in the class...reminds me of Katy’s own De’Aaron Fox

    He's apparently worked with Mike Miller and has a much improved jump shot now

    Hope we can come away with Cassius Winston as well.

    Good to know that, but I would much prefer to take a chance on a versatile developing PF like Precious
    Achiuwa. A good Nigerian PF .

    Interesting draft, there's question marks at the top, no clear superstar. But you can find good value later.

    Depending on how things play out, we won't be worried about fit or a ready made product, although that is always nice.

    Go for the guys with the highest ceiling, the expectations next year will be fine to go for it with risk/reward.

    We need a Dennis Schroeder type of PG, if a big isn't available, not a backup SG. R.J. Hampton doesn't have the skills or upside of a rookie Eric Gordon. I'm not interested in keeping Aleksej Pokusevski, but if other teams are truly lusting for him, then he might yield a better prospect or player than R.J. Hampton.
    Take a risk, don't play safe.

    Now, I like this kid. More upside than Hampton. He can be a good PG for us. This is a need for us.

    Anthony Edwards, after hearing he might be headed to Minny, is trying to tank his draft stock talking about how he doesn't even really like basketball, wants to be a rapper, would rather play in the NFL...

    Maybe he drops.

    We need a baller, not a rapper or a football player. Someone else should keep him, if he wants to play at all. Is he going to be the next Royce White?

    I honestly think he's trying to drop lol.

    I doubt he drops to 16 any ways, I just found the whole thing funny.

    You might be right. He might be too scared of the big lights.

    The Rockets could draft a dirty Hall of Famer tonight. Believe.

    He should be able to pick up that muscle in legit NBA weight training program.
