    Nowadays we're more sellers than buyers (how I miss Paul Allen's bottomless pockets) but it's always fun to talk about possible draft gems available late, so you can include guys who might go undrafted that you'd like to see invited to camp or on our summer league team.

    I think we could always do with a heady backup PG (which was why I was so happy to see us draft Tyler Kolek last year - grrr), so I'll start with:

    Mark Sears

    My pick just withdrew — Milos Uzan

    I’d pick Rocco Zikarsky but he’s rising

    1a) Miles Byrd
    1b) Bogoljub Markovic

    Rueben Chinyelu

    I don't think NIQUE is a sleeper at this point!

    He sounds very Matisse-like.

    Byrd sounds interesting. Good size for a SG and sounds like he has a brain.
    "Byrd is a good athlete but not elite by NBA standards. What stands out more is his feel for the game and his anticipation of the play on both ends of the floor. He’s a very good cutter and off-ball mover.

    On defense he’s a play-maker who racks up steals and blocks. He’s got quick hands, great awareness and has some dawg in him."

    Hey, Fred VanVleet went undrafted. But he shouldn't've.

    Miles Byrd’s dad was obviously a jazz fan. Very cool!
