    If I feel that with owning the #17 and #26 picks as well as our mountain of stashed futures 1sts that we have the capital required to move in the draft. Obviously this is contingent on so many factors but who would be your dream target should they fall in the draft and we have a chance to select them.

    Some targets are obviously more attainable than others. We should be able to trade up to as high as #10 if a team not like the prospects available for whatever reason. I also believe there are 5-6 guys in that range that could be a key piece to our core for years to come.

    Eason. I might care more about getting Eason than I do about who we draft among the top 3 forwards.

    Many of them. I love Banchero and then I love the prospects 7-13.

    Wishlist wise

    Daniels
    Murray
    Eason
    Sochan
    M Williams

    are four guys I think we need to move up for.

    I love Daniels and Williams. I'd give up ALOT for the former as I've mentioned in numerous other threads.

    But for Williams sake....just imagine going from the pocket rocket days to starting Banchero/Sengun/Williams. Our front court would be SET.

    Dream (as in unrealistic) trade-up? Ivey to go along with Banchero.

    Realistically, Eason or Keegan, the latter who is tougher to get now and would have to slide.

    how high does 17+26+KMJ+Gordon get you? that's a decent haul for #10-13 imo

    Dream is Ivey.

    Slightly more realistic dream is Williams, Sochan, Daniels, Eason.

    Am I the only one extremely high on Jalen Williams?
    Really mature all-round game and little weaknesses except for lateral quickness.

    Would absolutely love if we traded the 17th&EG or something to move up for him.

    Trade for number one and select Jabari then try to trade up for Duren or Eason.

    Top 10 aside from one of the big 3 would be Dyson Daniels.

    Top 15
    Jalen Duren

    Top 25
    Nikola Jovic

    Undrafted flyer/signing
    Kenneth Lofton Jr.

    I want one of the big three

    I would love to get my hands on Ivey or Sharpe
    But that would take 17 + 26 + Next year’s first unprotected

    And that still might not be enough

    Next year’s top six or seven pic we will have is a very important piece for our
    future- I don’t know if I could let go of
    That

    Walking away with Jabari or Chet and moving up to get Ivey or Sharpe is the dream of dreams right now

    Duren .

    3 man FC rotation of him / banchero / sengun is dynamite . Maybe there’s a small chance Paolo is fast enough contain something 3’s and we can play them at the same time .

    From that list i chose Mathurin.

    While id like to say 'other' or murray, the asset allocation would not be realistic to obtain an additional top 5-7 pick

    But i see a world in which Mathurin could slip to 10-12 and we possibly have the assets to move up from 17 and snatch him up.
