I like Dalen Terry quite a lot as a project. 6'7.5 with nice passing ability already. Could be anything - nice rangy defender with shooting potential (his shot is whack currently, but he makes enough). Think Ariza potential? Patrick Baldwin might be available here. If so, an absolute no-brainer. Needs work, but a bad choice of college has cost him. 6'10 shooter? A lottery talent IMHO. Jake Laravia is kind of a boring safe option. I see him as a 4 in the NBA and would pass (6'8) Someone is going to fall to the spot - and I hope we focus on length. Kendall Brown 6'7.5 defensive SF (lotto projection early in the season) Walker Kessler (huge 7'1 C with shooting and dribbling potential) For the smaller options Kennedy Chandler is one of the best PG options - but small at just over 6'. However exceptionally athletic. He could end up the best PG from this class - I'd be tempted by him if we get length at 17 (to add to Paulo at 3) and manage to trade EGO for size Jaden Hardy is a HUGE talent at SG. But I can't see the point...
He is not a forward, he is not a center. He is a net negative, and he is going to his 7th team on the next flight out of the H. He is also a locker room cancer according to our insiders. That 26th pick looks juicy as hell, all things considered. Some Fritos would look juicy as hell, tbh.
Jalen Williams or Jaden Hardy both intriguing here if available. We're probably gonna move up to get Eason.
I don't know if Kenneth Lofton Jr. at 26 is too high but i think he has a tremendous amount of potential and with Wood gone would have an actual shot at cracking the rotation.
At 26? Swing for the fences — nothing to lose. Jaden Hardy or Patrick Baldwin Jr would be insane. You’re talking about two players who were formerly projected as top 5 picks less than a year ago.
Yeah might as well honestly. Even with Jalen-Segun-3rd pick, we need as much young talent as possible. Having a young 3rd big to contribute would be great, and Jalen could play next to another guard. Obviously perimeter defense is super important.
That was blown out of proportion- he will not get the max, but I get the trade he doesn’t fit our current timeline. Just thought we could have done better-
I don't see any way we keep this pick. If we package it with number 17, we can certainly move up for my targets which would be Eason or Duren. If we package it with 17 and one of our future firsts, I'm not sure what we can get. I think that's a point of diminishing returns. I have a feeling that Stone wants somebody around 13 to 15. My guess is that that is one of the two guys I mentioned or Mark Williams. All of which I would be thrilled with. If we keep the pick, Jovic as a G League stash makes total sense as a swing for the fences type move. I would love that as well.
