    It's a bit sad but we don't have one

    All of them are tradeable

    If we get Victor & you can't play with Victor. It's bye bye.

    There's no core without a piece to build around. Sengun might be that guy. Green is doing everything to prove he isn't that guy.

    But you can build a core around a player without that player.

    What a shock. Sengun and Green continue to make KPJ fans look stupid.

    Green, Alpi, and Smith with the right direction can be a fantastic core.

    And whoever we draft this year. I'm real happy if we get one of the top 2.

    Who compliments those 3 better? Wemby or Henderson.

    Henderson. But you still go talent over fit.

    You pick the best player regardless. And if some of these young players have to go to fit Wemby, you do it. Henderson fits with current group.

    He's that level of talent where ya he just fits... Anywhere. It's like asking if young LeBron fit on your roster.

    This is the answer. If we get Wemby, then it is whatever makes us better with him. Everyone else is second fiddle.

    I thought Wemby would fit better for his defensive devotion.
    These 2 better not be busts. I remember how some of you hyped Wiggins and the Parker kid back in the day.
    I'm putting all my eggs on Wemby and Scoot being the "ones"

    The beauty of it is they both compliment that core very well.

    Wemby will likely lead the league in blocks for a good chunk of his career and we could use a rim protector. He also has a very good perimeter game with good 3 point shooting upside. He can play without the ball or as a central hub.

    Scoot knows how to direct traffic and understands the flow of the game. He is super intense and has an alpha personality without needing the ball in his hands the majority of the possession. He understands when his teammate gets hot to keep feeding them and when they're not he needs to step up.

    Either would help tremendously.

    Man I hope we get a top 2 pick. God man what a utter failure of a season if we don't.
