    Quality work!

    Is the win shares posted what they were at based on college games when drafted? Or their win share to date after being drafted?

    Safe guess is we draft Daniels if we keep the pick. But I’m guessing Cronin would rather trade for OG. Interestingly enough, Daniels makes A LOT of sense for Toronto. Wonder if that’s related somehow.

    Toronto and Cleveland were the only two playoff teams who met with DD at the combine.

    But it's wild there are some mocks I saw today that had Daniels at 4 and 5. His rise has been meteoric. If that really were to happen, I'd want to just keep 7 and take whoever falls to us as a result.

    what do you guys think would take to get #5 AND Grant in a deal?

    #7 + mil pick + keon + ?.

    I dunno if we have the pieces, but Murray + Grant would be a nice haul and mix of skillsets.

    Maybe Ant gets that done. Not Keon. Then we have to hope Keon becomes something like Ant and Keegan becomes an all star

    Can't trade Ant in a draft day trade.

    I'm fully convinced it's going to be Sharpe. The intrigue of the unknown has elevated him, but I don't think that's going to hold through June.

    he was the number one player out of high school for a reason, and he’ll probably do well in individual workouts. He’s probably the biggest risk/reward guy. You could potentially be getting the best player in the draft picking outside of the top 3. The intrigue of that should keep him high on teams boards imo.

    I'm fully convinced that if Sharpe with all of his upside is available at 7 that other GMs will be falling all over themselves to get him from us. Maybe that should be a sign that we should just keep him because he might have the best possibility to become an MVP in this draft. That being said we are building around Dame, so unless he really impresses us and shows that he can contribute on both ends to winning right away we might want to hear out those other GMs and take the best offer.

    On another note, Patrick Balwin could be a huge steal in the second round.

    Cronin is going to use the pick unless he can get a star player for it. OG is far from that. He's also not the size of player we need.

    There could be a lot of steals in the 2nd round.

    OG is a star in his role. “Superteams” are a thing of the past, guys like him are more important.

    schmitz compared him to Anthony Edwards after seeing him in scrimmages at UK. If Sharpe has that kinda explosion, then I could be talked into him. But he seems like a guy with a more fluid game than raw power. i still have no idea how to project him with such little body of work against high competition.

    Do me a favor…

    Put a 45lb dumbbell in each hand.

    Run.

    Jump.

    How high did you get off the ground?

    That’s still higher than PBJ jumps.

    Dude is a bust.

    And really to build around Dame… we need to nail our draft picks. Not throw them away for vets.

    How did Memphis get good?

    How did the warriors get good?

    How did the Cavs get decent?

    The Grizzlies?

    The Celtics?

    It wasn’t trading the chance to get Jayson Tatum for mediocre players.

    I’m aware, but thank you. A lot of the logistics of these trades gets me

    OG's recent injury issues are worrisome though.

    It's possible that some of the teams picking before Portland are in a "get in the playoffs now" mode and might pass on Sharpe.
