    Murray then Duren for me as far as realistic targets.

    Wiseman looks like a beanpole compared to Duren. Not every big is a bust, I could easily see him being comparable to Bam eventually.

    Huh? Wiseman's already been drafted.
    Are you saying Duren is a clone of Wiseman?

    Better than the splash brothers II? Playing as the lead guard now, I think CJ will at least be in serious all star conversations next year.

    Murray if he is available, Duren if he is not. Sign Mo Bamba and Jalen Smith. Trade Nurk for OG.

    Murray or Sochan. Stay away from centers because they take so long to develop and most of the time they don't. Take a center in the second round.

    We need to add skill sets we don't currently have. Long forwards who can play defense and handle the ball would be welcome.

    If Duren impresses that much, we could draft him and move up. A lot of teams are looking to add a defensive big man. If Duren jumps into the top 6, Keegan Murray or Sharpe can fall to the Blazers.

    We do need big wings.

    Murray or Eason are my picks. Sochan would be OK, but I see him being a Kyle Anderson level player.
    Dalen Terry should be the pick for Round #2.

    Can we trade Bledsoe + #7 to the Kings for Sabonis?

    I like Dalen Terry and I thought about him at 36 as well. I don't really have a sense of where Orlando Robinson is going to go yet but if he is someone we can get to play backup 5... I'd get him. Basically we need both starting forward spots filled. Then we need a backup PG that is better than Williams, Terry fits the bill and a legit backup big and I think Robinson fits really well for but if we can't get him we can sign a backup big with the TPMLE or MLE should we have that much room under the tax.

    I don’t believe that he will ever be Al All Star. Absolutely ZERO defense and can’t hit his free throws in the 4th quarter. CJ is simply not All Star caliber. Ant will be an All Star before CJ ever will be.

    my opinion of course - I’m not a CJ hater by any means…but he’s never been “great.”

    Why on earth would the kings do that. Sabonis is an actual good player on the kings.

    Sharpe - trade up to #4/5 using a future 1RP and Mil’s FRP

    Darkhorse: Sochan

    I like Duren but Sochan is a dynamic defensive player in his he mold of Herb Jones.
