De Paula and Kaba both still intrigue me in the second round, maybe Silva as well.
 
Why does it say healthy next to Giles? IMO, regardless of how healthy he is currently, he's torn his ACL twice. I don't think I'd touch him as high as you've got him. He may be worth the gamble in the 20's, but even then I hope Utah isn't the one gambling on him.

I'd take a chance on him. In the 20s it's a great risk reward.

I think it's acls in both knees... not that it makes anyone feel better.
 
Anyone else catch Locke's interview on 1280 yesterday? Was asked whether there have been any Gobert-esque workouts this year. Seemed to indicate that two were especially impressive (if not quite in the Rudy category). Hinted that one was local. That cuts it down to Swanigan or Kuzma, I suppose. The other, I'm speculating is Mitchell, since Locke has at least mentioned the possibility of trying to trade up for him.

Any other guesses? Or maybe it's all blowing smoke?!

I could definitely see them drafting Kuzma in the first round. The whole reason they liked Lyles is for his playmaking potential and Kuzma has that in his game more than any other 4 in this draft.

And yeah, I really doubt it was Swanigan. Tony Jones hinted that Swanigan's workout wasnt great.

I haven't heard the interview or the context but if it was indeed hinted that it was "local" then it was definitely Kuzma.

Mathias Lessort might have been the other "Gobert-esque" workout.

Eric Mika? David Collete? Victor Sanders?

I can't remember where I heard it but I heard Kuzma is killing workouts everywhere.

It wasn't Swag Daddy... he isn't a guy that likely impresses in the workout setting. I saw before and after a of Kevin Love recently... if swanigan loses weight he could be a steal. Love was a porker when he came into the league.
