The official: Who can we get with around the 15th pick?

Valentine's best feature is PNR play, but we already have 2 wings who can run the PNR at a high level. We need a fast penetrator, not a poor man's Hood w/ less athletic ability and size.

And all of our current problems happen when those two players are not on the floor. Valentine has the same standing reach as hood and rebounds a lot better and gets a ton more assists. Is shooting a higher percentage from 3 on more attempts. I don't think he'll be better than hood but I'll take the poor mans hood.

Morris almond put up numbers on a small school and couldn't pass. I don't think almond and Valentine are similar except for measurements.

Guys who are slow can still make it if they work on their lateral movement and don't need speed to score. I like Valentine because I think he has a low chance of not being an NBA player and could be the guy who everyone obviously misses on.

Depending on what we got I'd be upset... That's not consistent with bakking cakke and if I are going with a strategy stick to it. I also think some quality wings will come out of this draft around our range and it is a need right now and might be a more pressing need if Hayward bails.

Interesting to see if Korkmaz will get a little more burn with Diebler injured. Osman has really been coming on the last few weeks though. Wonder if Cleveland would give his rights up for cheap since their salary numbers are so high.

So we keep constantly baking cakes?
Hayward leaves so we replace him with a pick. Favors may leave the year after so we use our lottery pick again. At some point, teams HAVE to get contributors. GS traded for vets. So did OKC. Very few teams use only picks to build their teams. Thus far, that's been DL's ONLY strategy (unless you count Booker as a big FA signing).

I'm the president of team win now so don't throw the bakking cakkes on me... I just think unless we got someone that fills a pretty big role and they are under contract for two plus years it wouldn't make sense. I don't see who that guy would be right now.

It would be inconsistent and terribly mistimed. 1st round picks are so valuable now because contract value to cap ratio is so good if you get a player. I just think it'd be wildly inconsistent to sit out FA last year and not make win now trades because we are focused on building and development. It would be paying a high price for something we could have had at a value and would tell me we don't know what the hell we are doing.
