    What are thoughts on him now that all charges have been dropped against him/ he was a lottery pick until charges.

    If he's there at 7, I hope we take him and figure it out later. If we trade Simons we could use him.

    That's interesting. What's your asking price for Scoot Henderson in a trade?

    So the Ringer thinks it's Clingan and Salaun.

    I guess I'd be okay with that. It would be pretty boring.

    Saving this for when Scoot breaks out.

    I'd be pretty good with this honestly. Building a functional team is just as important as getting talent. Getting Clingan with Salaun to join Scoot and Shae I think would be exciting and well-balanced with size, skill and athleticism.

    I like Cody too. I think his skill set fits a bit better with what we have than Holland.

    Are NBA players allowed to hold hands, and create an impenetratable barrier across the floor?

    I think we're going to take Salaun... at 7.

    That happens to teens quite a lot, but it's perfectly normal.

    Please no to McCullar. He is so underwhelming. Does nothing at an NBA level, but gets a lot of respect. I'd rather take a project seven-footer.
    I do like Bona in the second. Crazy athlete and his strengths translate to the NBA.

    McCuller dropping to the 2nd round is wild to me. That's not the only mock that thinks he drops that far. Injury concerns aside, you take him every time there.

    Him and Shead at #40 (or Bona) Would be fantastic for our defense.

    We effectively flipped Telfair for Roy. Telfair also had a lot of preNBA hype, was short, and a poor shooter.

    If we can get a 6'3" lights out shooter then perhaps this team long term is better off to flip Scoot for someone with legit NBA size?

    On a serious note I do wonder what Scoot value could be. He had a pretty bad rookie year but insane predraft hype, is still young, and did have some athletic flashes with real potential.

    If we just draft Sheppard at 7 with no other moves on draft night it will be pretty hilarious to read the comments here;

    Sheppard
    Scoot
    Simons
    Brogdon

    Don't think I've ever heard of an NBA roster with 4 legit starters at one position before.

    All of a sudden one of Ant or Sheppard would be counted as undersized SG's most likely. Perception.

    Yeah your probably right - and Sharpe would have to be a full time SF.

    PG Scoot Sheppard
    SG Ant Brogdon
    SF Sharpe
    PF Grant
    C Ayton

    He'll be gone before 14 for sure.
