    Gimme Christie and Smith, toss 'em onto the Remix, and let them shoot as much as they want.

    If we are trying to keep up with the Jones's, then taller wings are the order of the day. With all the video breakdown of players abilities, I want to hear them in interviews and get a good idea of their mentality. This team doesn't need anyone with maturity questions like Klintman has been rumored (and I love his game). I want to see taller wings with a love of the game and toughness. Mogbo, Bridges, Bona, Djurisic, Keshad Johnson, Chomche all fit for different reasons.
    With that being said, I really, really like Shead or Newton at #40. With Brogdon gone, I want to see a true PG on the bench. A tough, two way PG with a winning background that could set the tone for the second team would be nice.
    A Shead/Bridges combo or Mogbo/Newton would be a win imo.

    I like Nikola Đurišić, and so does Schmitz.

    What are the maturity questions on Klintman?

    I see that Klintman is mocked higher but here is stat comparisons for him and Mogbo and Mogbo seems to win everything except 3 pt %. Mogbo even has three more inches wingspan even though he is a couple inches shorter. It's possible that neither will be available when we pick.

    If Klintman and Mogbo gone, then I would take Furphy (actually saw him in a mock draft to us once at 14!), if he is gone Christie.

    Just curious why. Looks as if there will be a solid player with upside available at #34.

    I wonder if there is one candidate that they like better than all the others. Maybe trade both 2nds to move up 4 spots?
    The roster is already pretty full. Otherwise trade #40 for a future 2nd.

    Couple of reasons weak draft and think we already have a ton of youth to develop. Obviously if there’s a guy we want then draft him otherwise I would trade for future 2nds or combine with a player to make a trade

    Hope they keep both or use 40 with future 2nds to move up. My targets would be Smith, Christie and Durisic

    Won't know until we see final details, but I imagine to add an additional future 2nd

    Yeah, I would have to think there is further compensation for us.

    Also apparently Kyle Filipowski was groomed by his girlfriend, is estranged from his family, and that may have caused him to fall in the draft.

    Even without the last part, WTF?
