[3rd pick] Who do you want?

Hopefully our Clingan workout was to try to convince Atlanta to stay put and take Sarr so nobody jumps to #1 to take Sheppard.

 

Only if the Brooklyn pick is in 27. The 25 and 26 picks are much more valuable than Sarr.

 

I would not trade any Brooklyn picks at this time. Sarr is not worth it.

 

You are probably right.

 

I think they take him #1. Washington is a big question mark; Clingan is definitely an option for them at #2. I think there’s a very strong chance both Clingan and Sarr are off the board by #3. The rockets would be looking at Sheppard, Risacher, and Castle. San Antonio would be sitting at a great spot with their pick of two of those three. I think the #4 pick is that perfect spot in this draft.

 

This would be great. Just take Sheppard.

 

I've made up my mind. Sheppard it is. Honestly, I am not sure he will be available when we pick

 

Reason to trade down. We still have bunches of young players we need to develop. We can't add more project. Feel better to trade down to add high-floor/low-ceiling player than using 3rd pick for one. Like Sacramento using 4th pick on Murray instead of Ivey, who people think has higher upside.

Reason to stay put. If Atlanta really want Clingan and no one want to trade up. We could end up with Sarr or Risacher. But are they that good? Sarr is athletic. You just hope he can improve his defense and shooting. Risacher is pretty average defender.

If stay put and draft for need and fit, then pretty much is Sheppard or Dillingham. Or you want to gamble on Topic.

By Thursday this week, there will be only five full days til the draft!
Don't mind me I just get hyped for NFL and NBA drafts.

 

Trade down and get Cody. You're telling me he's another Tari Eason? 6'11 18 yr old that's comped Lamar Odom and is down hill money with the ball. That's the easiest no-brainer in the world.

 

Watching more of Sarr and to me his low end comp is bigger Robert Williams with a better offensive bag. Even if the shot doesn’t come around this guy is going to be a really good switchy defensive big who can protect the rim. He’s also a legit talent in transition; gets out and runs extremely well for his size. If the shot comes around he could be a bigger, better, rim-protecting, more switchy Al Horford on his prime. That’s a really really good player.

 

Perfectly stated.

Love it.

So who we drafting

 

Hopefully Reed Sheppard.

 

Since now we know the Spurs want Risacher, should we take him if available at 3?
