2022 NBA Draft Thread: We Going to Have a Pick! (lmao jk)

I think San Antonio would take him at #9. Feel like that's his floor. Washington would likely take him at #10, and I couldn't see the Knicks passing on him at #11 if he were there.

He was widely regarded as top 6 so that’s what I’m saying… he could slide to 9/10 if teams get a little scared.
 
The argument for Sochan, I think, is that he projects to be functionally similar to Al Horford. He can play at the 4 or the 5, he's a switchable defender, he can move the ball, and he can knock down enough of his shots to spread the floor. Then he brings toughness and some intangibles in general. So he could be an elite complementary player. I just can't see a scenario where he's in the top 5 - 7 guys. I think he's a candidate to get picked in the 10-16 range. He's not such an overwhelming talent that team needs won't factor into the decision to draft him.

Not at all.
 
Sochan is simply one of the most complete players in the draft and one of the youngest.

There's no weakness in his game right now outside of ranged off the dribble jump shots. I just have a feeling he's going to put it all together and be a near all star caliber player.
 
It would be complete lunacy to me I'd the Blazers passed on Sochan (if they keep the pick). It's near impossible he falls past the Spurs.

The Kings would be smart to draft him as well, but I would understand passing on him for the Big 4 upside players

Does anyone else think we could draft Ivey and he could give us 20 PPG a night in Donovan’s role?

I do. If Sacto offered the Jazz #4 and a future pick, I'd take it and reset the timeline around a young All Star-caliber player on rookie-scale.

I'd just also be tempted to try to get up to #3 for Paolo.

Hell I think we could probably get Davion and #4.

Davion and Ivey backcourt with Gobert is a top-5 team in the West next year. Especially with how good defensively Davion is. Move Conley for a 3 and D type of wing and then we’re really talking.

Sacramento is an interesting team. Their front office was given a mandate to make the playoffs this coming year. That's going to be a tall order give the way the West is stacking up right now. Pick #4 is also where the draft supposedly breaks a bit, unless you see 4 guys in the top tier. Trading for Donovan would have to be seen as a home-run move for them under those limiting circumstances. They already traded out Haliburton for Sabonis because they are in a hurry to win.

They could send back Holmes and Barnes, #4 and a future pick with light protection.
