    Someone other than a guy that is too skinny, long wingspan, and we hope we can teach him how to shoot. We need shooters that can put the ball in the net.

    I know it’s not a popular opinion, but I want Kispert. I want an elite 3 point shooter.

    Been thinking about how we're going to have a bit of cap space this summer and have a need at SF so just had a quick look at the available free agents and it is very slim pickings. That being said I'd be really tempted to throw a little bit of money (nothing major like 3 years 15 million max) at Yuta Watanabe. He's 6'9, he plays super hard, he's not a bad shooter and he's only 26. Could be worth a punt since we've got nothing else to do with the cap space. He's an RFA though so just whether Toronto would match something like that. 

    Not saying Yuta has to be the guy but I'd like us to take a low risk punt on someone like that. Not too disimilar to what we did with Jonathan Simmons (it didn't work out on the court but his salary was such that it was easy to include in trades and he helped get Fultz)

    I agree with your thought as well. Low risk gamble would be a good move.

    I’m a gambler/optimistic by nature, but I’m hoping for the bulls to have the 5th best draft odds. 
     

    I know the odds are near zero, but give me 1 (Cade) and 5 (Kuminga). 
     

    With them on the roster this is an extremely young roster, who is under contract for the foreseeable future, with real championship contender potential. 


    The depth chart would look like: 
     

    PG: Fultz/Anthony/RJ

    SG: Cade/Ross 

    SF: Issac/Okeke/Kuminga 

    PF: Okeke/Kuminga/Issac

    C:  Carter/Bamba

    In this scenario, we wouldn’t resign Ennis, Bacon, MCW, Porter. 
     

    Additionally, we would also trade Gary Harris at the trade deadline for future assets and a backup Center (insurance policy for Bamba). 

     

    Again pipe dream, but a man can wish.

    How many raw high upside picks actually make it anywhere near to their ceiling? If they have a solid floor, say a starting caliber 3-and-D, fair enough take a swing on that upside. But sometimes some of those prospects are too raw and never develop as expected. 

    If we are taking someone with our second first round pick, then adding someone that should be  a good 3-and-D player like Kispert is a pretty useful pick. If he can contribute to a team like Joe Harris does at Brooklyn or Tyler Herro at Miami, then that’s a good selection with the second first rounder. 

    The likes of Kuminga and Barnes may have more upside, but neither of them have a consistent outside shot and both players will require a lot of development to become starting caliber players, and some of that will be tied to their ability to develop a consistent shot.  

    For me, in this rebuild we need to prioritise drafting players that can score, shoot and play defence. Yes there is a place to draft athletic, length and high upside players, but that can’t become the obsession like it has in the recent past. 

    Great post, this is exactly how I feel.
     

    We will have so many young players developing. Why not draft an older player (Kispert) who is really good at a particular skill (3 point shooting) and focus our development attentions to our first pick and the other young players already on the roster.

    Personally give me Cade or Green and Kispert. 
     

    PG: Fultz/Cole/RJ 

    SG: Cade or Green/ Ross/ RJ 

    SF: Issac/Kispert/ FA vet Min or 2nd Rd

    PF: Okeke/Issac/FA vet Min or 2nd Rd

    C: Carter/Mo/ FA vet Min of 2nd Rd

     

    I think our future would be bright with this this lineup
