With so many mocks going in so many different directions tells me they have absolutely no clue on what we’ll do. Love it.

Yeah I mean you want guys who can shoot but you don’t want black holes. Not in today’s offense. Edit: I rather have Hendricks over Whitmore though. I’m still on the Scoot train

I’ve cooled a lot on Hendricks and Whitmore.

Prepared for Bilal Coulibaly at 6.

Same here. Only one I’m locked on is Scoot. I’ve become a bit skeptical about Whitmore and not a fan of Walker for us. The twins are something I have become more open to. I get the competition issue. The athletic ability though and it’s not like they don’t have skills. I watched a little more of Black and I could get behind it I guess. I also would understand if we drafted George. Craziest draft I can remember.

We were but there are stats showing Fultz isn’t the best PG for Paolo. You also have to consider his history of health.

I don’t think Coulibaly has the playmaking ability like Ausar “seems” to have.

Well I think we need a ball dominate guard because I don’t see Paolo or Franz as guys you want to run an offense as a lead guard. They are high iq players who can make plays but not floor generals you want to rely on as setting up the offense every possession. I really want to root for Black because of that but I don’t know if he’s a lead guard or more of a 6’7 combo guard.

Maybe but that’s a big if. There’s also numbers showing that he’s not good with Paolo.

Just because he was better than what we had doesn’t mean he’s the best going forward.

I love Scoot for us. I don’t see anyone who’s a true lead guard PG and Fultz isn’t a guy I’d say he makes us so much better.

There’s an argument that he’s not ideal next to Paolo and Franz in more ways than one.

I just don’t think that gets us where we need to be. I like Ausar a little more because of his ability to defend and make plays with the ball.

Can on paper seems like a good fit but his weaknesses are concerning for me as for what we need and to select him at 6. He’s a 3 and d guy who’s not exceptional at either. He also defended SF’s and PF’s mostly. He also isn’t a good playmaker and not really good with the ball in his hands to make good decisions. The others, yeah good bench guys but I’m taking a swing with this draft/off season. You can sign good bench players. This draft, you need to get one more guy. Don’t see that with those guys.

Think they see Hawkins as a better 3 level scorer. I’d still probably choose Grady over Hawkins though. I think there’s room for Grady to being a better 3 level offensive player than he’s perceived to be.

Which tells me they have a guy they are specifically targeting if true which is what I want too. If so, you have to get your guy. Don’t let what we currently have, outside of Paolo, and maybe Franz, stop you from getting him.

See I don’t personally like Cam and Jarace for us. Honestly, I hope we either move up or move out. I don’t like our position in this draft as it stands. If Ausar falls I might be ok but Cam, Hendricks, Walker, Black, all seem like bad fits to me.

And none of those guys have shown that they are the permanent answer to where a better option, better fit, is out of the question.

I didn’t say his clips were bad. Just doesn’t impress me enough to take him with 6th pick.

That’s it right there. Watching him you just don’t come away impressed. At least I don’t. I like his hustle I just don’t see anything that wows me. Not offensively anyway. I’m more impressed with Grady Dick footage than Blacks.

Maybe I’m not watching the right clips of Black but I’m not super impressed. He seems fundamentally sound but I get EP vibes. Other than Scoot, Amen is the only other I was impressed with. Issue with him is, shooting of course, but he’s playing in what’s basically a rec league.

I think drafting a Pg is quite possible.

I would rather trade our picks and player(s) for a all star personally.

Not buying this Bilal hype. You dig deeper into it you’ll see he’s really not worth a lottery pick. Late lotto stash is where I’d go with him.

You can have too much of anything.
