Maxey looks like a season vet. The game has really slowed down for him. He's letting the game come to him and dominating.

Wallace is a good comp for Kuminga.

I know what he shot on the season, which is why I said the "potential" is there for him to become a good shooter. He shot over 40% while attempting 4 threes per game during that span.

He shot over 40% from 3 in a 22 game span. He has the potential to be a really good shooter, just need to bulk up.

Yeah, the Rockets killed this draft. Christopher looks really promising, and Green, who was my favorite player in this draft, looks like he should've been the number 1 pick.

The Orlando Magic plan to sign forward Ignas Brazdeikis to a two-way contract, has learned from a league source. -
Cole Anthony needs to do a better job of getting his teammates involved. The kid couldn't find his place once Suggs took over. Hampton too.
-
Fultz and Suggs is going to be a fun backcourt to watch on both ends of the court.

Graham to the Pelican for a 1st.

Eaddy could be two way option. He's older (25 year old) than any rookie in this class but a very solid player.

Ariza will most likely sign with a contender. He'll probably go back to the Lakers on the vet min.

Wagner has a very similar skillset to this kid. He was starting to have really good rookie year before he went down with an injury. I think he make a jump in year 2, especially with Russ out of the way. He'll get to take on more ball handling and more than likely will be the 3rd option.

Definitely could use his shooting, especially if we trade Ross.

Ziaire and Kuminga are two of the biggest boom or bust guys in this draft. A lot of things needs to go right for those guys to live up to their potential. I'm glad we went with the high floor/low ceiling guy in Wagner. This approach work out very well for Phoenix with Bridges and Johnson, hopefully it does for us, too.

6 minutes ago, CTMagicUK said:THT is an RFA, we'd have to commit to paying him and we already have a bunch of guards.
I look at THT as more of a shooting guard/small forward. He's more like Josh Hart, who's only inch taller than him but THT has a longer wingspan than Hart.

I can’t see us signing anyone whom will compete with or take meaningful minutes from our young players.
I wouldn't mind us bringing back Otto Porter at the right price.
Porter
Wagner
Korkmaz
Trade Ross to Lakers for Talen Horton Tucker and a 1st round draft pick.

7 minutes ago, TreyMachine said:I think you forgot those guys were +/- 6’6”. Franz is 6’11”. From a pure “study’s the game thoroughly” standpoint, sure. But I think Franz has more potential to be a true glue guy with defensive prowess and outside shooting unique to anyone his size. He isn’t quick enough to create his own shot, which makes him more of a quality role player that will bloom on a team with scorer. He doesn’t need the ball in his hands to be effective.
Which is why I compare him to Gallo (Knicks tenure). If he can perfect his 3pt shot and ball handling, he could end up being a top 5 player in this draft class.

1 hour ago, CTMagicUK said:I wonder how much we'd have to pay Garrison Matthews so that the Wizards wouldn't match? If its less than like 5m a season I'd consider to add a shooter that fits our timeline.
Korkmaz would be a better option, plus he's an UFA.

45 minutes ago, Luke_FfS said:Timma is a very good player, at least has been in Europe, clearly we need to see what he could do in an NBA contest, but it's surely worth to take a look.
Yeah, I feel he could be a good replacement for Ennis.

10 minutes ago, TreyMachine said:I think I’ve said this before, but from a general ceiling standpoint, it feels like Scottie Barnes, should he develop a shot, could be a Giannis type of player as he’s 6’9 (and still growing), a freak athlete, and played PG last year. Floor is much lower than Suggs, but I can see the argument.
Suggs, at the end of the day, fits our team need more than Scottie Barnes, and for that reason, I would expect he’d be higher on our board.
time will tell!
Idk, I think Barnes might've been our pick had we had the 4th pick. He just fits the player profile for Weltham, but I'm very happy with Suggs, though.

wagner looks like machine gun kelly.

9 minutes ago, CTMagicUK said:Sorry to be the downer but I think people need to pump the breaks on 'likely future all star', 'scoring alpha' and 'face of the franchise' with Suggs. He's an incredibly impressive young guard but he's going to have to take dramatic leaps forward in his half court short creation skills (handles, pull up shooting etc) to be a big time #1 scoring option type guy in the NBA. Let's not forget he was 3rd in PPG at Gonzaga.
He did take his game to another level in the tournament. He went from 14ppg to damn near 19 ppg. He was on a veteran team at Gonzaga so he just played his role, but tournament time came he put the team on his back. He almost brought them back in the Baylor game, but Baylor size and athleticism was too much for the Zags. It looked like he was only one from Gonzaga that belonged on the court with those Baylor guy.

It's another well put together class. You could have four different guys go #1.
