Give me two players with very high upside, rather than two long shots at 23-24. Say you can trade with Indiana at 13 for 23-24 and Gordon, then you're able to pick Jones, Sengun to go with Green. Would you rather have that or say Thor, Cooper at 23, 24?
This. I like Green more than Mobley but I like trading down for Barnes+something else more than Green. Dude's baby Giannis physically. The Rox just need to determine if he has the work ethic and heart similar to Giannis and I honestly wouldnt be mad if they take him 2.
I'm with you there. I'd be all for trading up. I just think that there will be players available at 23 & 24 that are worth taking a chance on rather than trading away for future picks.
Jones and Thor are very similar talent with the same question marks. Reportedly Thor balled outta his mind during the combine and couldnt miss a shot. This draft has a lot of "unicorn" style of players. Mobley, Jones, Thor, JRE, Isiah Todd, Vrenz B, EJ Onu etc apart from Mobley I havent seen one prospect separate himself from the others tbh so trading up doesnt make sense to me. Trading in is prob better as the Rox spend assets to get more picks in this draft.
It just says Rox' top draft pick. If we trade for LTS you might get yours signed by a 2nd rounder lol.
It wouldn't be a bad thing to trade for a 2022 first. Next years draft is going to be loaded with high school players being eligible again.
I'm in the I hope Stone identifies a guy out of this bunch the he likes and goes up and gets him. Be aggressive and make sure you get your guy. There's a reason Jones is a projected lotto pick and Thor for instance stands a good chance of falling to 23.
I hadn't heard this before .... He's plenty big enough to play NCAA 5 and small ball 5 in the NBA. I get the idea that coach K envisioned a him like Draymond defensively .... with better offensive tools.
Perhaps. But not sure he'd balk if that was the case. Now if he Coach K wanted him to play traditional 5, makes more sense he'd resist that.
I'd rather have Green & 23/24 ..... I think Thor is going to be a monster in a couple years & ultimately a better player than Johnson because of his work ethic.
All four could go number one in different drafts. They’re all really talented- They might not be -LeBron James /Anthony Davis -Automatic franchise cornerstones But all four project to be future all stars Will they get to MVP candidates? I don’t know- I just know they’re all great pieces for a rebuild
