    Carter Bryant and Egor Demin are the only ones I know for sure.

    Bryant mentions it here at 5:24.



    But these guys go through 3 days of interviews with teams so I'm sure our staff will sit down with most of the guys in our draft range.

    Didn't he predict Clingan and Sharpe to us before?

    Yeah. Mike Richman mentioned that Givony is usually the most accurate of the prognosticators.

    I'd be pretty ecstatic about getting Queen at 11. I hope we could get that lower Magic pick to nab one of Coward, Essengue, Kasparas, or Clifford.

    That would be a big win of a draft.

    Is Fleming mocked anywhere to go higher than 11?

    Queen has some Zach Randolph in his game, at the college level at least. I just get scared of drafting guys without a lot of athleticism who rely on touch and soft hands lol. I feel like for every one that hits ten others bust.

    On nbadraft.net they had him going higher. He has fantastic measurements. I am always about guys who have size, length and athleticism. If we can trade down and get him then fuck yes.

    Queen is nowhere near as smooth as Randolph.

    In terms of style and movement - he’s Naz
    Reid.

    He’s much more talented than Naz though.

    I did hear Naz as one of his comps. Sengun and Sabonis as well. The ball creation is what makes him special.

    Givony came up with our very own Mike Schmitz from Draft Express. Hard to believe they don't still have contact.

    that changes my perspective. maybe he does have inside info. i still think even joe / mike themeselves don't know what to do with the pick yet. depending on the results of the playoffs, dominoes will fall differently. and who knows when the change of ownership will take place in relation to the draft
