Official Utah/Minnesota/Philadelphia Pick Watch

Gradey Dick, Taylor Hendricks, Jordan Hawkins
On first glance most would be bummed on this as it mean we would be missing the main top end dudes.

But, IMO, this would be a sneaky elite draft potentially.

-Dick is a dude that could go day 1 and have an impact. Huerter from outside but a better rebounder/playmaker. I think he’s in the league for 12+ years.

-Hendricks is your high end ceiling dude here. I can’t tell if I’m irrationally high on him but to me he’s a dude in a 3 year “re-draft” is seen as the steal of this draft for anyone that drafts him in the teens.

-Hawkins defense means more to me than his shooting and his shooting is elite.


You’re relying on Hendricks to be THEE sleeper of the draft here but that’s a hell of a draft all said and done imo.
 
With a bit of effort we can be bottom 6/7 in a couple of games. Bottom 5 seems to be about the max, but with a little luck that could land a juicy pick.

That would be fine with me. Whatever it is that's not tanking anyway.

I think we have the ammo to move up… I just hate raiding the coffers for that ammo now… which is another reason to sell off a bet or two for picks imo.

I’d really like Black or Wallace but I could also see us just staying where we are and pursuing a guy like Jones with our Brooklyn pick… I love this draft this far but I have a feeling we will be “plucky underdog” status for a few more years if we aren’t able to get a top four pick or at least two back half of the lotto picks.
 
The debate for me is Hendricks vs Lewis and as of today, Hendricks has the nod from me. REALLY like them both though.
Only thing with Lewis is his defense is bad… per some draft nerd guys that have really watched him. Not that it’s super uncommon. I think Hendricks has a high ceiling and I think he will rise up boards if he continues to play well. I might rather bet on his upside than GG.
