I have a feeling we're going to end up using our own pick on either Black or Wallace.

I think that’s highly likely.

I’m not so sure. It’s a current need but I’m not sure we draft to fill that hole… I think it will be very much best player available. It’s also a future need of course… I would be happy to have either guy. I just think if we do roll out a big FA deal or make a trade it might be for a lead guard to fill that hole.

I mean a lot depends on where we pick.

8-10 is one thing, but if it’s like 10-13 Wallace or Black could actually be best player available.

I like black and Wallace had the injury so not sure if he has been slowed down by it. I think they are very much on the table but we might place more emphasis on them because of positional need.

It may depend on just how the draft plays out but I could see us spending for FVV (not my preference) or trading for Tyus Jones or addressing pg with a vet because it’s likely our biggest current need.

My dream (non top 4 anyway) would be to land Black and Hendricks. Depending on where Washington landed I wonder if you could do Minny pick plus another future pick for Morris and their lotto pick… Morris is the stop gap pg until Black is ready… and I get both of my guys… IDK just spitballing. It will be an eventful summer… maybe not as eventful as last summer lol.

I'm still holding out hope that your prediction comes true and we end up trading for Dame in the offseason. I'm not really interested in FVV or Tyus Jones, I would almost rather just roll with Sexton as the starting point guard for the time being.

It doesn't sound much like that is a possibility... I'm still curious if Dame "dies on that hill". Its a weird decision for both player and franchise... but maybe they trade Simons and find a decent big man.

Don't sleep on Tyus. Dude is a monster when he's a starter.

Damn...he's averaging 19/8/3.5 and shooting 53% from the field and 51% from 3 in 10 games as a starter this season. I didn't realize he had been that good.
 
Grant Nelson plays in his conference tourney final tonight. Had a big game in the semi final last night

He did the same thing last year as well. The griz record without Ja was crazy last year at 20-4.
