Joe Cronin's wife is currently following two prospects in this draft on insta, from what i saw: Sarr and Clingan. Scoot follows DC too. Mike Schmitz follows almost everyone. Trying to understand why Dame follows Risacher of all people. Too busy to continue to do this creepy stalking shit these days.
No, this is: http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/the-super-melo-to-portland-thread-the-big-blockbuster.178953/
I get the reticence of anyone who's watched this team for the last decade to get another small guard, but is Devin Carter not on the table? It seems like having a Lu Dort analogue (1 1/2 inch shorter, same wingspan, same motor, not quite there yet on strength) isn't a killer to go with Scoot.
No, personally I think we have (literally) bigger needs. I don't even know that I would take him at 14, but he's in the mix in my head. I like guys with motors and drive to get better and killer instinct and actual basketball skills. I personally would be intrigued with Sheppard but not with our current team. I like Castle but the lack of shooting isn't great. Holland is interesting to me, as is Buzelis. I'm not holding GLeague Ignite against them as much. I'm probably higher on Edey than many, though I don't know that Chauncey is going to scheme him up for success. Also, without knowing a lick about Topic, I could easily see us grabbing him and considering it a "EuroStash" to rehab him this year, since we're gunning for LottoVille again next year.
The Game Theory guys went through the rosters and predicted one 2024 draftee as a definitive day 1 starter on his team: Edey. Even that is doubtful for me, tbh.
Seems clear Edey is projected as a starter, Memphis has no other centers. Not sure who else could be projected as a starter, Sheppard for this year is behind FVV, I guess Sarr might be a starter, maybe Castle on the Spurs but they have CP3 to start the year and seem conservative with rookies. Maybe Buzelis on the Bulls. If we trade Ayton I'd pick Clingan as a starter with Timelord/Duop as backups but that seems unlikely. Crazy how crappy this last draft was.
