If Clingan is available at 6 would you guys trade Kessler+10 for him? I think I would consider it if I'm sitting in Ainge's chair. Clingan+Lauri+Hendricks is the makings of a pretty decent frontcourt. From what I can tell the 3 pt shooting is Clingan's only weakness but having Lauri and/or Hendricks on the floor would mitigate alot of that weakness.

Upgrading the 5 wasn't in my thought process at all coming into this draft but watching Clingan highlights it's just so impressive to see how strongly he finishes (unlike Kessler). Yes Clingan is not switchable and more of a drop type center but so is Rudy. I do believe Clingan and Sheppard are the top 2 talents in this draft so if you can jump up to grab Clingan at 6 that might be something to consider.

No. Clingan wouldn't be a priority for me in this draft. Inside the top 10, I'd want Sheppard or Williams. Or, if you're a Castle person, then maybe Castle. I think Clingan is like Poeltl on a good day.
 
Didn't see this one mentioned - did you guys see Risacher's measurements and testс from the Euro combine? His athletic testing was even worse than I imagined it would be :(

Think young Nic Batum. Probably better at getting downhill though. Not the Jalen Johnson-with-a-jumpshot I was hoping for.

Athletic testing at that event means nothing. He just got done playing a full season vs the domestic prospects who had months of rest and prep time for events.
 
When MPJ was drafted by Denver, was he considered a redshirt situation? Anyone remember? He might have been having back surgery.

I still like Kyle Filipowski for the Jazz. I think he should be able to play much of the role that Al Horford plays for Boston--guard on the perimeter, move the ball, be a threat to drive, make some shots, rebound, etc. He's a nice value outside the top 15. His 8'11" standing reach is the same as Horford's entering the draft. Jazz have enough frontcourt size with Lauri and Hendricks that defensively it could hold together.

I agree but what do you do when he’s projected late teens twenties. Would be hard to trade back and then potentially have 4 picks. Very curious how this draft plays out bc there seems to be a lot of similar talent past the first 10-12 players
