    It would be Deni and filler like Grant etc to match and 11 for pg and 3

    no thanks
    Huge drop off in talent from 1 to 2 and then a cliff from 3 on down. Stay at 11

    This guy has Queen as a top 7 player comparable to Sengun and Sabonis.

    I don’t agree. I think Ace Bailey and Rasheer Fleming are going to be real players in this league. I would absolutely trade Simons or Grant plus our pick to get the #3 and take Bailey. I would be ecstatic in fact.

    According to the Internet trades Simons is worth the 3rd pick plus a 1 next year.

    I say we draft HCP. That way Mrs. HCP can expand her schedule 22 days earlier at the beginning of training camp instead of waiting for the regular season to start.

    Why not just stay at 11 and pick Fleming if you are so high on him?

    I would be astonished if he was still there then. Also, Bailey has real star potential IMO. Fleming looks like he could be quite good, but I don’t think elite potential.

    Fleming is going to be picked in the 20s... He's a good prospect, but not top tier.

    He would be an insane steal at 11 or especially lower.

    I'm guessing that you have not watched a whole lot of game film on him.

    He looks amazing in the highlights. But there are much better prospects in this draft

    Fleming is one of my favorite guys in the draft too but if we take him at 11 we're fools. No one is mocking him before the 20s that I'v seen. So why not just trade back to Orlando or Brooklyn. Get Fleming with pick 16 or 15 and have a pick in the mid to late 20s to take another swing because I've been high on a ton of guys that haven't panned out.

    The one thing this team is lacking is a slow footed big. I can’t remember the last time we drafted one

    Zach Randolph? This one could be the hub of your offense on the second unit like Sengun and Sabonis.

    Holy fail.

    Deni is worth far more than moving up a few spots

    Proven talent with experience and cheap contract is worth more than all of these picks period.

    People don’t get that. Current Deni is better than current Flagg, and it will take a good amount to prove that wrong.
