Let’s focus on #26

Walker Kessler at 26 would be nice

 

I'd be fine trading both picks for next years draft.

 

#26 Options:

3P Snipers
6'7 Christian Braun (39% 3P)
6'11 Nikola Jovic (32% 3P)
7'0 John Butler (39% 3P)
6'5 David Roddy (44% 3P)

Unique Rim Protectors
7'1 Christian Koloko (7'5 wingspan 2.8 BLK 25 MP 0% 3P)
6'7 EJ Liddell (7'0 wingspan 2.6 BLK 33 MP 37% 3P)
6'9 Michael Foster Jr (7'0 wingspan 1.9 BLK 30 MP 31% 3P)
7'0 John Butler (7'2 wingspan 1.2 BLK 19 MP 39% 3P)

3-D Wing
6'7 Dalen Terry (195 7'0 wingspan 36% 3P)
6'7 EJ Liddell (240 7'0 wingspan 37% 3P)
6'7 Christian Braun (210 6'7 wingspan 39% 3P)
7'0 John Butler (175 7'2 wingspan 39% 3P)

Unique Point Players
6'11 Nikola Jovic (3.6 AST 28 MP 32% 3P)
6'7 Jordan Hall (5.8 AST 35 MP 36% 3P)
6'7 Dalen Terry (3.9 AST 28 MP 36% 3P)
6'5 David Roddy (3 AST 33 MP 44% 3P)
6'1 Jamaree Bouyea (4 AST 36 MP 38% 3P)

 

I had not really seen John Butler a ton. Im fine with him at #26 after a bit of watching. Interesting skill set and build.

 

I'd be willing to explore trade down of #26 for 2022 SRP + 2023 FRP.

Some SRP prospect options:

6'11 Orlando Robinson 35% 3P w/7'4 wingspan


6'9 Trevion Williams 36% 3P w/7'3 wingspan


6'6 David Roddy 44% 3P w/7'0 wingspanq


7'1 John Butler 39% 3P w/7'2 wingspan


6'11 Yannick Nzosa w/7'6 wingspan


Nzosa or Butler are pure projects but click on link to see how the other bigs compare to Paolo Banchero.

Trevion Williams and Orlando Robinson are similar sized but longer with as good or better playmaking + better scoring.

Also better defenders.

Jon Butler seems like good value at the 26 position. Reminds me a little of Jabari. As a 3 and D forward he's very agile at 7ft. Needs a bit of time to fill out and polish his game but a decent project to stash.

 

Kessler and Jovic have both accepted a late invite to the NBA green room (per Jonathan Givony).

 

In before the "he's too old and doesn't fit in our timeline" crowd. I wouldn't be mad at all if Stone takes him.

 

17-26 in this draft may be the same value as very late first or early second picks in next year's draft.

To trade a next year's pick plus 17 or 26 to move up is a losing proposition. Better to trade 17 or 26 for a would-be late FRP next year.

 

This pick needs to be traded as part of some sort of consolidation to move up or moved in some way.

 

wow roddy shot 44%? on how much volume?

 

A 7 footer who can shoot though he's 20 pounds lighter than Chet.

 

Not just old (22) but short (6'6) and still skinny/weak (195 lbs) for 3 spot.

But my bigger concern is his bouts of depression and anxiety.

 

I am ok with drafting there guys.

 

you shouldn't be. This roster doesn't have room to develop 3 1st round picks. The 26th would be an absolute waste

 

EJ Lidell at 26 would be amazing.

 

I think this will be TyTy if Stone don’t trade the pick

 

Can we get a vertical spacing big, at least a rim protector!
