That will be a great draft . Agreed, it would be a really good result for us. However, I would change the final pick to Hamidou Diallo, he's an elite athlete and has excellent size, bit of a project but we can afford to take that in the second round and let him develop behind Simmons/Fournier. Alternatively Bruce Brown from Miami or Tony Carr from Pen (decent passer and shoots threes at a good rate) could be alternatives. Though if we end up with this trio I'd be happy.

I can't see Trae Young going third overall, but if Michael Porter goes to the Kings like some have speculated that could see one from Bagley, Bamba, Doncic, and JJJ falling to us at six. If Porter and Young go in the top five we'll have our choice from two of that quartet. Personally I think Young and Porter will be there at six, which leaves us with a choice between them or going for someone in the next tier down like Carter or Mikal.

I also see Schroder having more value than Vucevic at this point so to move up I suspect we would need to be adding something more to get a deal done.

How does everyone feel about reaching for him at #6? I would, that man is a faucet and if were making a "safe pick" he's the guy to get. I'd rather have an awesome 1-4 with a serviceable center than a high upside center with no one around him to help stretch the floor and move the ball.

A lineup of Dennis, Evan,Ross,Gordon,Bamba sounds way better than trae,Evan,Ross,gordon, and vuch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfect circumstances for him He was awesome his entire tenure in Boston until he got hurt but even prior to that he was always productive even on bad teams. If Trae Young can trade some of IT's finishing/interior scoring ability for much better playmaking + being 4 inches taller then that's amazing for the the 6th pick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is not the best player available at 6 and SG/SF is also not a position of need. As long as we have Ross, Fournier, Simmons playing the SG position and hopefully Mario and Isaac playing the SF role, I just dont see that happening. We want Isaac and Mario eventually take the SF role. Trades needs to happen prior selecting Mikal over the likes of JJJ, Bamba, Young or Carter and like I said before, we will be moving down if we really want Mikal. Just to be clear, I don't want us to do that it's just the type of thing I can imagine this front office doing. There's also nothing to indicate that we won't do it either. We don't really have any clue what will happen and we can't trust anything we here as it could all be smokescreens. I also don't think we should be saying "we don't need x position". If Mikal (just as an example I don't necessarily think he will) became an All Star and we didn't pick him because we had Jonathan Simmons, Evan Fournier and T Ross we'd look stupid.
