    I'd be cool with him in a trade down.

    Definitely a kid that'll need some structure though, but I think he's an intriguing guy in a small role on good teams.

    Just get either Aaron Nesmith or Desmond Bane and call it day. Either dude can space the floor and should be around at #16 (I have a feeling Bey will be gone by then).

    Find a way to get Riller in the 2nd round to backup Dame:

    Cole would be on my list too, but I'd be surprised if they go small guard, at least in the 1st.

    OK I want to talk about ANYTHING but politics!

    Imagine the 16th pick is on the clock. The following players are still on the table: Cole Anthony, Tyrese Maxey, Kira Lewis. How do you rate them?

    Maxey
    Lewis
    Anthony

    Don't love Maxey, but I'm most comfortable projecting him to be a positive player. Like that he has the size and defense to swing between both 1 and 2. Not worried about the shooting. Personality and background helps him stick too.

    Maxey
    Lewis
    Anthony

    Kentucky 2 guards are a pretty safe bet. Actually I think he will be a really good pro as he can show case his skills more.

    I only look at NBADraft.Net because it didn't go behind a paywall like DraftExpress, and it's usually crap, but it does tend to get a bit less crap closer to the draft, and they've just updated it:

    Wiseman to the Spurs? Is he really dropping that much? I'd be perfectly happy with Achiuwa, though.

    Onyeka has the perfect skillet for Portland and is exactly what this team is missing in the front court.

    OO or bust!

    What does Onyeka have that we are missing in the frontcourt? I am just curious by what you mean by that and I love Onyeka

    Wiseman at 11 seems absurd. Deni at #2 is some Golden State smokescreen BS.

    Nnaji is receiving interest from teams in the late teens and 20s, according to multiple league sources -Kevin O’Connor

    Tillman is a player (dark horse?) I hope Neil trades for late in the first.

    I would honestly take him at #16. Fuck the mock-draft-makers. And if (a) Zach is still recuperating, and (b) we don't re-sign Carmelo (PLEASE GOD) I would expect him to start our first game of the season.
