They asked him if at where we are(in the draft and as a team) we would be prioritizing a player with upside or ability to come in and contribute right away and kind of surprising to me he didn't dodge the question - he said "with most of our team(if not all of it) coming back next year we are looking more toward upside, can we bring this player in and work with him ... playing a little bit with the Stars and how much better can we get him in 2-3 years...".
So.... Anfernee Simons or Elie Okobo it is then...

Chattman was actually the 38th ranked prospect of the class on 2014. Went to Michigan and sucked it up for 2 years before transferring. Seems like a guy with potential a few years down the line of seasoning.
Andy Larsen also followed up asking him about age and how it relates to potential and he seemed to say he doesnt buy it being as big of a factor as some make it out to be.
He said "that's what analytics say"... that the younger players have better chance at improving more. Which seems to be true. But he indeed seemed like he wasn't buying it. IMO it still gives a hint about what we are going to be looking for.
BTW Troy Brown fits in that mold too, IMO. He's not ready right now, but he has good skill level that they can build upon.
He said "that what the analytics say but I tend to go the other way"

I’m pretty close to the point where I’d be willing to trade up for KBD.

What does Omari Spellman bring to the table?
A big appetite.
So you're saying the question should be, "what does he leave on the table?"

Is Shake a decent prospect? Love the name.
Apparently he shot it pretty well.
