    The big riser will be Dyson Daniels imo, and im not against drafting him.

    Butler (supposed Small Forward) has massive length....but is skinnier than Holmgren.

    I just don't buy the Dame/Simons backcourt, and I'd like to see them move on from it sooner rather than later. "Downgrading" (debatable) from Simons to Grant while swapping (for example) Murray for Sharpe (since it would have to be done in July) could be a good move.

    think I saw he measured 6' 7.5" in shoes with a 6' 10.5" wingspan, pretty good size

    the top 3 unfortunately probably won't get measured. Or Ivey/Murray. Guys projected top 5 try to avoid this these days.

    Maybe, I don't know, let them play a few games as the dedicated starting back court together first?

    Daniels
    Sharpe
    Williams(!)
    Eason(?)
    Moore Jr.(?)

    Seem to be the big winners for measurements.

    Chet probably wants to hide his weight.

    What do the rest have to hide?

    And that's most likely what will happen. And then, after we're most likely languishing at the bottom of the league defensively AGAIN, there will once again most likely be calls to break up our micro backcourt, and we'll most likely have to sell off one or the other at a discount.

    I'd just like to avoid the most likely scenario for once.

    Miami- Lowry and Herro
    Milwaukee- Jrue and Allen
    Minnesota- Russell and Beverley
    Phoenix- Paul and Booker
    Utah- Conley and Mitchell
    Clippers- Jackson and Powell
    Nuggets- Murray (Morris) and Barton
    Nets- Irving and Curry

    Not one guy over 6'5 in any of these playoff teams backcourts. Its not about size, its about how they defend. Billups won't give them the option to be lazy defensively.

    So glad to know that Simons is already done progressing as a professional player.

    Must not be that important otherwise wouldn't they measure them barefooted?

    Cept that I'm not wrong. Basically boils down to this.

    Would you trade Grant for Simons? Because 5 and 7 isn't a massive difference.
