@Saint Cy of JFC ?

Care to join us and vote?

You cant vote after the draft, i’d put in a timer.

I already said what I would do. My decision tree is more complex than your simpleton poll

What did you say you would do?

IF the Lakers pitch to get Walker are that good maybe you make the trade, pick up Maluach if the jazz think he has potential at 5, and reset the board with those assets.

Think Fear’s first couple of seasons could look a lot like Scoot.

I find your lack of faith.... disturbing.

If I trade Kessler, I’d still draft one of Tre, Ace or VJ. . . let Filipowski start for this year and maybe look at addressing C next year based on how it goes.

I don't really see it as too much of a diss. Most young PG's start very, very bad. Some of them stay that way, but some go on to be all stars and also plenty outcomes in between. The PG's who start with a lot of responsibility and hit the ground running are the exceptions. I don't think he's a Ja, Trae, Rose, Wall level of prospect. So yes, I'm lacking that kind of faith in him, but I don't see a Scoot comparison as an insult.

I mentioned Scoot in particular because he shares a lot of the same strengths and weaknesses. In his rookie year, shoot only shot 50% at the rim with a .246 FTr. Sophomore year those numbers increased to 59% and .301. He also improved his turnovers and outside shooting a bit. Scoot's story is still yet to be written, but he had a fairly typical start for a non-elite PG and a massive improvement in his second year. When his shot was falling, he looked like a potential star.

In that case I'd trade down for Essengue or Fleming. We need defense.

Strangely enough, I have seen Fleming fall down in alot of analyst mocks into the late 20s. It's completely possible Fleming is there at 21

This board is very high on Flemming. Don't think he's ever been top 25 on Givony's mocks.

To be fair, I haven't dived in on Fleming too much. From a minor look, he seems to be the ideal 3&D big wing, incredible physical talents, shoots the 3, dunks constantly, great defensive disruptor. There must be something more fundamentally wrong with his game.

 

[Losing Interest]

Can Flemming play the 3? His size suggests more of a 4.

I don't know, he probably is more 4. Some analysts say he is a big. But I think he would have more value as a wing guy with his physical tools.

I like Flemming, but I’m sure there will be players I like better on the board at 21.

He's a pure 4.
