Jason Funderburker 110 Report post Posted June 15, 2023 Maybe it is because they played in OTE so I have no idea how their play translates, but I truly want nothing to do with either of the twins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,491 Report post Posted June 15, 2023 Ausar Thompson has pulled out of a work out with Indiana. So his camp must be pretty confident he's being picked top 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DestroidMengars 22 Report post Posted June 15, 2023 I used to like Ausar at 6, but now feel Coulibaly at 11 offers basically the same size and wingspan, with a similar skillset, is a year younger, and plays in a professional league that's easier to gauge. My preference now is Hendricks at 6, Coulibaly at 11. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DestroidMengars 22 Report post Posted June 15, 2023 Yeah. I'm not as worried about getting the best playmaker out of the 6'7"ish guard we might draft. We need a shooting guard who can spread the floor more than a primary playmaking point guard. I'm more confident in Coulibaly's ability to spread the floor than Ausar's as his three looks better to me. He doesn't project to be as good of a defender as Ausar, but I'd say he looks better than Dick or Hawkins in that regard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,491 Report post Posted June 16, 2023 Givony also reporting Bufkin probably going lotto. Also apparently Woj has said he won't be tweeting the picks this year because he expects to be focused on all the trade talk. Which suggests he expects lots of trades.

CTMagicUK 1,491 Report post Posted June 16, 2023 Jonathan Givony on Lowe Post really doesn't sound like Portland are trading #3 or Dame. And of any media member I'd feel like he'd know. Could just be posturing from Portland to get a better #3 package but I think I'm going to work on the assumption they keep the pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
