    Still really hoping that one of Garuba, Jones, or Jackson is available at 23/24. Especially if Cade or Green is the guy at 2 but even if it's Mobley to set the foundation of the frontcourt.

    I wouldn't have a problem with Stone picking Sims at 24.

    Seems like a late 2nd rounder to me...

    Johnson has the look of a top 5 pick...

    He needs development. He can become a very good player. Perhaps a young coach like Silas who clearly trusts upcoming players, can bring the best out of him. His input can be very valuable to Stone. It was nice to hear from Stone that he will be working with Silas during the drafting process.

    As opposed to not working with him of course.

    Mock drafts are all over the place, I’d like to move up and get Kispert. Get 3 of the 4 out of Mobley, Kispert, Murphy and JT Thor

    Davion Mitchell is so underrated to me.

    If he was 19 he would be rated much higher

    How so? He's projected to go top 7 by many. Where would you rank him?

    No way Garuba falls anywhere near 23 now.

    Well I would so many good player left at 24.

    Sims is a great athlete but already a "senior" yet still doesnt have nba ready skills. He also suffered from stress fracture in his back so he damaged goods already.

    I like Filip Petrusevic at 24 if we get Green. Still need a center and cant think of a better prospect at that spot he shot 41% from 3 and was the MVP of his league at the same age as Sims.

    I think we need to trade up in the draft and get Murphy, he is guaranteed to be an NBA player for the next decade. You can’t say that about anyone else 5-20. Please please please
