You are appreciated here brother CT

Thanks man. 

And thanks all for the kind comments from everyone.

Hope we're all happy once the picks are made! 

I'm excited, I'm nervous. And I've got a litre bottle of energy drink to get me through the early hours of the morning.

I’ve been all over the place with him. On one hand, the kid basically skipped his senior year of HS to occasionally look like the best player on the floor in the G-league. On the other, he clearly has a lot to work on, but doesn’t turn 19 til October. I really just hope Suggs falls lol

I think this comes down to Suggs has a higher floor while Barnes has a higher ceiling. Can you imagine Barnes, as a growing 6’8” elite athlete PG, what he could do if he develops a semblance of a jumper? 

i think that’s why Suggs at this point isn’t the consensus #4 pic. Suggs we know will be a great scorer, but he’s only got decent size and isn’t a natural floor general. Barnes could be all those things, but chips has to fall in a lot of good directions. 
 

At this point, I’m happy with either but prefer Suggs in light of our team

I've done best case and I've done a prediction so here's my worst case draft:

#5 Jonathan Kuminga 

#8 Kai Jones

#33 Jaden Springer is somehow still on the board and we trade it.

Think this draft would end me.

I think at this point, if we take Kuminga at #5, we will all call for the removal of Weltham unless they really know something we don’t.

I still don't understand why Suggs is rated so much higher than Davion Mitchell. Yes, Mitchell is shorter, but the stats are about the same and Mitchell is a demon on defense. His nickname "bad day" was well earned. He would be a great team leader. Watching him in the championship game was quite a treat.

I saw an article somewhere that his motor is suspect just like Bamba.

Suggs is 2 years younger, bigger and more athletic.

He is, but Mitchell's defense is really great on top of being a very good shooter/passer

Suggs is also a great defender and about the same level of passer. I don't really buy Davion is that good a shooter either.

If this actually happens I would be the one ending you lol.

Hopefully the draft becomes a little less predictable from pick 4 onwards tonight, need it to be at least a little exciting with how late its going to be on for us UK lot. Kinda zoned out on #5 once it became clear we had no way of getting Green, sounds like it's Barnes at 5 though. FO doesn't leak so the Zaire chatter deffo seems like a smokescreen for who we really want at 8.

New Sports Illustrated mock by Jeremy Woo 

#5 Barnes

#8 Wagner

#33 Josh Christopher

https://www.si.com/.amp/nba/2021/07/29/nba-mock-draft-2021-rumors-cade-cunningham-jalen-green-evan-mobley?__twitter_impression=true

Mentions we're open to trading back at 8 but the price is high. 

The second mock to have Christopher to us at 33 so that might be something.
