    We are not getting Grant without a pick, but why does it have to be this year's pick? Detroit does not seem to want to keep Grant, so unless someone comes up with a better offer, a future pick and the TPE might be good enough.

    I see now. Recruits do make a difference. Gonzaga will continue to get them and they will hopefully continue to grow as a basketball program.

    Exactly! The rumor was always bledsoe or TPE with this year #36 pick, one of the first round pick New Orleans own us which is now the bucks 2025 1st round pick, and Keon Johnson. That’s a solid haul for an overrated player that has one more year left.

    Didn't Dame win the "MVP of 'The Bubble'"?
    I know he shoulda won it at the AS game a couple years ago.

    There is 0% chance we get the 7th pick. We are getting a top 4 pick. I called it weeks ago.

    Well I just simed on Tankathon for the first and only time today and #1 overall. Surely they take Jabari Smith or Banchero, right? Right?!?!?!?!?

    Funny part is this is just for the pick. After today it's all about who they choose.

    Whatever you do, please don’t draft another center.

    Domantas Sabonis and Rui Hachimura.

    Now name the last guy from Auburn or Iowa taken in the top 10 that turned out to be a good NBA player.

    If that's the logic you use for not drafting a player then you need to do more research on the actual player.

    Holmgren will be fine. Has the tools to be a bigger Andrei Kirilenko in the NBA.

    That said, I wouldn't take him before #3.

    Does that mean we can start looking at Syracuse players in the draft?

    I would take Kirilenko #1 overall in todays NBA, that dude was ahead of his time.

    AK had crazy good timing on his blocks. I see the same in Chet. Also the same risk of injury with that frame.

    Paolo really reminds me of CWeb in his healthy Kings days. He's the safest choice at #1 IMHO.

    I do tend to like players that grow up playing guard....before they have a huge growth spurt.
