Not sure how they could manage to get #2 while keeping Lauri, but play along... How good is a Harper, Lauri, and Murphy core? Would Harper be on the wrong timeline?

The people who are talking themselves out of Kas remind of the people who talked themselves out of Doncic enough for him to slide to 3. There's definitely a reprise of sorts going on here.

Kas makes up for that with elite passing. Or, at least he has a super-high ceiling as a passer.

Intrigued! I wonder how far up the draft a package of #20 + #21 could get us?

Not only do I really worry about Tre's defense, I'm also worried that his offense is pretty heliocentric (and that he might end up really pounding the ball).

I think it's fair to give a bit more weight to recent performance. You obviously have to account for injuries, pathways back from injuries, if other key players are missing, etc.

"mono" describes the number of people who, after his rookie year, have any hope left.

When did he have mono?

We're at least three additional perfectly interlocking pieces away from the play-in. That isn't happening this offseason. Sliding to #5 basically confirmed our tank next year, IMO.

I'm still a big believer in Kas. If he's falling into the 11-15 range, then I would be supremely stoked if we could trade up from 21 to get him. I'm hoping that we can standpat and get Ace. Ace, Hendricks, and Kessler can cover a lot of ground defensively and really swallow up the rim.

I hope JB stays out of the dumpster fire in PHX.

Your evidence here is paper thin. I guess it's fun to speculate wildly on teh internet, doe.

Absolutely lmao if you think you have the intel that supports this kind of conclusion.

that's a recent thing. The people who aren't hanging too tightly on every breathless update from one thousand draft sources haven't stopped ranking him highly.

His lower body looks much better. Very consistent feet (including the way that he's letting his right foot drift forward through the motion). Looks improved to me.

Somebody has a poopy diaper

Curiously enough, your description here almost sums up your posting style. All except for the defensive part. You're always super defensive.

Um, your just asking for a center that is effective in the short roll. This is already a staple of modern NBA offenses, and every single center who is trying to crack an NBA rotation is working on this.

SoberasHotRod gonna start a thread about resigning two way players... and my head is going to explode.

I agree that the particular skills of the players should dictate how the team is ultimately constructed. The thing that interests me most is how systems are built around/for players. It's offensive and defensive systems that win games. You need players who can execute those systems and gain...
