I trust your ability to evaluate talent. What long 3/stretch 4 guy is in the draft who should be in the 15-21 range? And ideally, this same guy is also a threat off the dribble.

I know I'm asking for the world.
I mean, that's a pretty small list and nothing anyone else cant tell you.

I dont think there is anyone else in that small range.

You trust the same guy who had Donovan as our 5th best player when it was already apparent he was special? Don't do it.
 
Bates-Diop

Haven't seen him play but I like his name, his body/frame/looks and stats. Sign me up. I'm definitely down for this dude.

KBP is my must pick guy in this draft. Trade down to get this guy and pick up an additional 1st in '19 or '20 for doing so.
 
Mirotic is a player. Whether his heart is in it is what it will come down to. I think Donovan, Rudy, Jingles, etc. would offer a great situation for him.

Listen, I think Donovan is wearing down a bit, and it’s understandable. A kid who played just over 30 games last season and around 30 minutes a night is now playing 40 minutes a night and on game 71. He’s being asked to take on the offensive load of his team, be the face of a franchise, and carry us home in the 4th quarter of every game and carry this team to a playoff push in an extremely competitive and crowded western conference. He’s one of the only guys on the team that can actually create his own shot. What’s being asked of Donovan is insane....insane for his rookie season and I hope fans can understand that. That’s why I think any criticism of him at this point is ridiculous. Look at what he’s done all season long, look at the load he’s carried, look at how fun he’s made this season.

He has room for improvement and he’s going to, but he knows it, the coaches will help him with what he can improve on, and he really deserves nothing but praise from fans for what he’s done. I think it would be nice if he could play 10 damn less minutes a night and the bench could find a way to score a few points and take some pressure off him. The bench has let the starters down in a big way.

I get people aren’t moaning and groaning too much but Donovan’s had weight dropped on him like very few rookies ever had in this league, and I think he’s been impressive in how he’s handled it. He will handle it, he will get better, but he may wear down towards the end of this season and you can’t really blame him for it.
 
Mitchell's 54.2% TS% would be Hayward's second worst season ever. Just saying.

The kid's been unbelievably great. But he needs work.
