........ amen Thompson
 
Cam vs Amen vs Jarace is an interesting debate the FO is probably thinking about now, not just if we have lotto luck but also if we want to trade up. I really like Jarace, I think he is the most likely to be an all star....but I think both Cam and Amen are more likely to be all nba level players with wider ranges of outcomes. Cam checks almost all the boxes for me. The playmaking and shooting needs improvement, but I think he'll get there with the shooting and he will be a tough cover even with an iffy jumpshot. His combo of power/speed is elite. Amen is likely the best athlete in the draft but that shot is so broken and I'm not sure he's got elite enough passing/rim finishing to account for the shooting concern.
 
I’m not a draft for fit guy but Cam fits really well imo… and if the roster changes he still fits… because that player type is really flexible. May regret passing on Amen… I’m probably lower on Walker than most.

I think it will work out for me.

I would add Ausar to that debate
 
The 4th spot in this draft is a hazard for a GM's career. Cam is the right pick but you will be harassed in the Media for doing it.
 
I would add Ausar to that debate

Ausar's shot appears to be less broken, which is a huge deal, but the people who have had a close watch on the two all seem to think that Ausar is not the same level of athlete or generally skilled player. If you're going to open the mystery box, you might as take Amen.
