Pick #11: 1a) Kasparas Jakucionis 1b) Noa Essengue Darkhorse: • Jase Richardson • Thomas Sorber Trade Up Target: • Kon Knueppel Pretty stark...
#11/+? to New Orleans Zion to Portland I’m still on this boat.
Slower than Zach Edey is ….concerning. :blink::blink::blink::blink::blink::blink:
I’d bet money that Noa is the #1 target for Masai Ujiri and the Raptors. Prototypical Masai pick. We’d have to leapfrog them for sure.
Noa Essengue with elite length: 6’10” w/shoes 9’3.25” standing reach (measurements: 2024 Basketball Without Borders Global Camp)
He’s getting top-10 buzz. I really don’t think he’ll be there at #11
6’10.75” w/shoes a near 9’2” reach LMA-like height and reach
[MEDIA] The biggest riser post-combine — he could go lotto. Royce White w/o the crazy.
My Darkhorse: Liam McNeeley
Rocco: 7’3” w/o shoes 9’6.5” standing reach 260 lbs. 18 years old :blink:

If not Zion or Sabonis — Onyeka Okongwu should be the primary target. He’s the next Deni: breakout player with a bigger role. Perfect PF next to...
A direct deal with Orlando you have to ask for Anthony Black.
The #10 for Onyeka Okongwu …or Expand the Simons/Orlando deal and use those assets to send to Atlanta for Okongwu
^^ declared for the draft this morning He would have been a lotto pick if he spent a year or two at Gonzaga. If you’re patient he’s a potential big...
Yes! A change of scenery is obviously needed. He’s also obviously a ginormous risk but it’s one you have to take IMO. He’s a mega superstar if you...
