I wouldn’t mind if we were able to trade for another pick in the late teens to early 20 range

He’s a talented college basketball player but not built for the NBA.
He regressed as a creator and turned into a score-first guard. But he doesn’t necessarily create a shot in the same way that would work at the next level, often times making his money by fighting through contact at the basket against weaker athletes. He doesn’t have great “second-gear” speed” and his handles are way too loose for a sophomore guard. His shooting form will have to be fixed at the next level and it is tough to make the argument that the fix would provide additional value.
He’s fallen out of the first round for a reason which is kind of a shame because there was good interest in him last year and this year is a pretty easy draft class to make a significant boost in.
