Im not as upset at the Ant Black pick, cause its a crapshoot from 6-11, but i am super disappointed at the 11th pick. With Gradey Dick still on the board, we chose a .301 3 pt shooter at 6 and then at 11 we choose a 36% 3pt shooter - if we were drafting for shooting we could have just taken Dick. I think he will be a fine shooter as his FT was 80% but still.

But we could go the opposite and pick people who were good shooters in college who struggled early and finished as some of the best shooters.

Im in love with Gradey at 6 and Hawkins at 11... That gives us a Quad of 3 point shooting to play and space. You got Caleb, Dick, Hawkins and Harris as rotation. You start Fultz, Gradey, WCJ, Paolo and Franz and coming off the bench you got Caleb, Hawkins, Suggs, Cole, Harris, JI, Mo and Goga... Expendables are Admiral, MCW, BOL, and Chuma. all those can be trad bait for some veterans or kept. That leaves Scubb and Kevon with 2 way contracts. Obviously thats 2 over so i would trade Bol, Chuma and a filler for a decent Vet or something.

With a little cameo from fultz

That was the dumbest thought process - suggesting we would offer 6, 11 and WCJ for the 3 if its Scoot...his caveat is saying that if "Orlando thought scoot was the PG of the future"

This sound to me like they could still package the two picks to move up and "build through the draft"

I would not trade up at all unless we were packaging the two picks, plus next years first, and some salary matches for Luka. (providing he's disgruntled and wants to move on) thats the only way i would trade those two picks. I think we can reasonably come away with Gradey and hawkins and both mesh well with our current squad and both have major shooting upside skills and this allows us to package Chuma and other stuff away to open up salary for Austin Reeves, who i would target and possibly Vucavic as a backup.

they said the the same thing about JJ redick

damn

im good with 1-4...s long as we can move up and chicago doesnt move up or down lol

If i was Mosley i would bring him to our bench. I think they could work well together.

I dont think you pass on Gradey Dick. I wish he had at least 2 seasons of college for history, but his 1st year stats matchup more favorably against JJ Redick and that man ended up career 41.5% 3ptshooter - 19th all time behind some of the best shooters to ever play the game, 12th if you take out people who made less then 600 through their career, and of the 20 other players who have made more 3's then him only Klay, Korver and Curry boast a better percentage ~1.4% difference. All this to say i think gradey will be a phenomenal shooter and that is what he have avoided drafting the last 10 years.

I believe all of them are (not sure about wicks, to lazy to go look it up) or will be hall of famers - maybe griffin wont make it, but i bet by the last time he's on the ballot they will vote him in.

i want F****** shooters. We have been saying it since we drafted AG that we need shooters and somehow we keep drafting sub 30% 3 pt shooters

id trade wemby for luka
