Following Potential 2018 Draftees

[Bawse Dawg]

You definitely don’t not resign the dude who at the moment is probably your best bet to develop into the missing piece because of who you draft at #21.

Fair enough. The question should be,

Is Okobo better than Robinson, Huerter, Diop, etc....

Hence this entire thread

And yes, he is definitely better than Huerter and Robinson.

If the money is on the table and we dont resign him that is one thing. We could choose to use that money on another option, resign Favors, etc.

We are hoping and somewhat expecting now that another team will not offer Exum a good deal.

Hence my question. Should we draft Okobo and sign ANOTHER FA instead of Dante.

I still haven't seen full game of his, but if the highlights hold up and there isn't anything out of the ordinary on the full game tape to drag him down significantly, I would say Okobo is tiers above those... as in... MULTIPLE tiers... (this is for me, i have no idea how NBA teams and scouts see him). He's my newest highlights crush.

It's easy to fall in love with highlights. I certainly have before, and in Okobo's case now I'm doing it again. There is a lot to like there offensively. Plus I see a swagger, alpha dog in him.

Multiples tiers seems like a stretch now though, but we'll see. If that's true then there is a chance he's not available at even #21.
Reminds me slightly of Mitchell's meteoric rise before last year's draft. Which is a good omen! He is peaking late in the draft process.

Any criticism about Young starts and ends with his lack of size. Everyone is pretty much in agreement he is elite in the skill department.

I don't think it starts and ends with lack of size. Defense, or lack there of, is a huge concern. Getting clamped up by bigger guards in the second half of the season is a huge concern because he's gonna face that every night in the NBA. For someone who supposedly has "elite" vision and skills averaging over 5 turnovers a game is a huge concern. I don't recall a single player with elite vision averaging 5 turnovers in ANY level of basketball.

Is anybody watching the conference finals? We desperately need wing defenders. Letting Exum go makes absolutely zero sense. Letting Exum go to keep Favors makes even less sense. That's like a poor man's version of OKC letting Harden go so they could keep Ibaka.

Exum stays regardless of who we draft.

Is it possible under the new CBA to sign + trade RFAs? (I remember something about needing confirmation from the player, but don't know the details)

Yes... player has to agree but that is a part of any sign and trade.

I have an Okoboner!

LoPo and I a devising a plan to get every first round pick after number 15... we will then draft everyone’s favorite player... seems like the only reasonable solution.
