Every year I dream of moving up to draft a PG

And every year it doesn’t happen. I fear this year will be no different.

Have you considered changing your dream to acquiring cash considerations so you won't be disappointed?

R u describing Bamba?

If Bamba had heart, athleticism, and feel for the game on both sides of the ball.

Onyenso seems like an obvious pick if we're moving on from Goga (in a salary dump deal). 

I also like:

Otega Oweh

Emmanuel Sharp

Jaden Bradley

Trevon Brazile (Sort of in the Onyenso comp)

Cameron Carr (trade up candidate.) 

 

EDIT: Adding Lawal to this list. Dude is a monster athlete.

I always like to play the agent game with 2nd round picks because I find the 2nd round is a much about connections to get guys to not work out places etc as it is about who picks when.

German PG named Jack Kayil, projected 2nd rounder, don't know anything about him honestly but his agent is Mike Miller (agent of Paolo and WCJ). 

Zuby Ejiofor... Actually looks a really good stylistic fit for our roster in the little bits I've seen. Getting mocked early second. His agent is Jason Glushon (agent of Franz and Mo Wagner, Desmond Bane and previously Caleb Houstan)

It's almost certainly nothing but I'm bored at work today.

I can see them trading up for Kayil like they did Penda last year. 

Here's Franz cheering him on in the championship (around the 1:50 and 3:20 mark).

He reminds me of Cason Wallace a little bit.

Yea been doing a bit of research on him today. He has that kind of connective off ball guard play style that you can see sticking in the league so long as the jumper is good enough.

I wouldn't want to give him a guaranteed contract, which I'd expect we'd do to the 2nd rounder we draft given we need to fill out the roster for cheap. But if Tyler Bilodeau goes undrafted he'd be a priority target for me on a 2 way. Kind of a man without a position on defense but he can really shoot it and is generally a pretty good offensive player. Bit of a weird comp but I thought late career Marreese Speights (when he was hitting the 3) when I was watching him.

I can tell you about Kayil. Great Combo Guard prospect. Has some playmaking ability and is a streaky shooter. Physically gifted. He reminds me off Keyonte George. Would be a steal but he also needs time. He’s already a regular on the german national team. 

he just won a championship with Alba Berlin, beating the favorites Bayern Munich in the final game, despite being down 20. Had a major role

[orlandoholic]

also kinda noticeable. Franz has been in Berlin the whole offseason. He watched the final game in Munich and TDS brother plays for Bayern Munich. For some reason TDS and Franz didn’t seem to watch the game together. 

Im just saying this because i believe we have fake team chemistry going on.

I mean you're making a huge leap here.

TDS having a brother playing in the game doesn't necessarily mean he's going to uproot his summer schedule or whatever to fly to Germany to watch. 

From Tristan's Instagram he was in Germany in May, there are pics with him and his brother then. And now he's in California working out and on vacation. 

Also. I don't need these dudes to be friends and quite frankly couldn't care less about their personal relationships. I just need them to play basketball good together. And if they don't one of them (Tristan) won't be here so their personal relationship will matter even less. I'm not friends with anyone of my work colleagues but I still have their back and collaborate with them when I'm on the clock.
