    im sure there’s a player every year that if you mocked him lower than everyone else people would laugh. Like, who had Nas falling to Portland a couple years ago? Pretty much everyone still had him somewhere in the lottery or right outside of it in their final mocks. I doubt Ivey will fall to 9, but I at least respect the guy for going against the grain. Someone will fall, the only question is who.

    Harris is a solid player. He's just overpayed.

    Warren has shown flashes.

    This is the kinda enthusiasm you want from a prospect...



    Kings brought it upon themselves, but you can't blame Jaden.

    I'm seriously wondering how the Blazers don't go after this guy. He's exactly what this team needs.

    I would love to get him. He might be gone at 4 though.

    That's depressing to think about because then the Kings would be doing something smart.

    It would be a seriously unfortunate turn of events.

    He could easily fall to 7 if Mathurin sharpe and daniels go ahead. Or a wildcard like Sochan who many have ranked in the top 5.

    I watch a lot of college ball and it seems to me like a lot of freshman centers get winded quickly.
    But I don't know why.

    Paolo
    Jabari
    Chet
    Ivey
    Murray
    Mathurin
    Sharpe

    We are guaranteed one of these 7. I can't say I would want to trade 7 for some of the guys mentioned like OG, Grant, Dort etc. Over one of those dudes.

    I like several others not on SPC's list more then Mathurin. Him off the board prior to #7 would make me smile

    It's always been such a backwards idea. Some players drafted are immediately big time contributors in the first and second seasons. Yeah, let's trade the rights to Luke Doncic for CJ McCollumn.

    You don't have to trade your pick on Thursday.

    Is Dame willing to 'wait'.....or is this a smokescreen to leverage a move?
