McDaniels has a chance to be an impact player on both sides of the ball, he can do some dynamic stuff with the ball in his hands.

I would draft McDaniels. I'd start him out in a role like Jerami Grant and see what he can do from there.

When defenses tighten up in the playoffs, it's nice to have a player who can take a dribble and step into an easy straight-away 18-foot jumper. It's always an option that's available. Guys like Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant, Kevin Garnett and Tracy McGrady, even Karl Malone, made a living doing this. I think that's what's most attractive about McDaniels' game right now. He can get an open look, with or without a screen.
 
OKC just traded Dennis Schroeder to the Lakers for the #28 pick. OKC could trade #25 + #28 to move up to #20 or #21. I think they're trying to get in position to draft Poku.

OKC is also taking back Danny Green's salary, reportedly.

From the speculation I've seen, OKC may need to pass Dallas at #18 and maybe even Sacramento at #12 to ensure that they can pick Poku.

Of course they have all kinds of additional draft capital to throw at a trade if they are bound and determined not to let anyone else have Poku.
 
Poku ain't gonna be there at #23 but if he somehow is you absolutely have to draft him. If I thought the Jazz had a realistic way to trade up, I would suggest it.

I think the Jazz could trade up. I think Dallas would offer Delon Wright, Dwight Powell and #18 for Mike Conley.
Jazz would then need to package #18 + #23 in a deal to get into the end of the lottery.

If we had 18 and 23 and netted Poku I’d be pissed.

That trade doesn't work. It's also a really steep price to grab a pick that late in a weak draft. Also, Poku is worth a roll of the dice if the cost is low since he could really bust, but that is no longer the scenario we're talking about.
