Another #17 pick

Trade it for someone who can produce now.
If I had to bet, I’d say the pick ends up being traded. However, if not, there are a lot of interesting prospects. Would rather not draft another guard but so many guards that I like in the draft. Not sold on the bigs.
The Pelican’s might take that one because there are two point guards around that selection and they need a point guard.
Let’s get another guard that’s 3 years away from contributing lol
Let’s see… will they pick a league ready 22 year old forward who could play minutes in a playoff game or a 19 year old project guard.
Tough call, but we should probably all start scouting the available 6’3″ combo guards.
Unless they can get a center, trade that shit no more projects on this fucking team. We need NBA ready players or players who can help right away
Incoming 6’3 to 6’5 combo guard that’s ball dominant, can’t shoot, and isn’t nba ready
ITT Lakers fans shit on a rookie who has played all of 10 minutes
Crazy how JJJ and Whitmore were the overwhelming obvious choices for us at #17 last year, and turned out to be best available. I would ask for the same situation this year but I’m not sure it matters anyway. If there’s a 19 year old 6’5 non shooter available, we’re taking him
Go for size and girth at center. We desperately need it.
That pick is getting traded
We can’t whiff this draft. Unfortunately, there’s no high quality of big men this year
I like Kel’el Ware’s game. Can score outside and be a lob threat. Would be a perfect fit next to AD or more importantly, preserve AD as much as possible
One of the worst drafts in history so good luck trading it for someone decent
Another Jalen Hood Schifino coming up
