I hope and pray we improve our position through luck in the lottery. If we can get a major piece of the puzzle like a top 4 player this teams future gets a lot brighter.
Kyrie is here now so I do not see getting a PG as being super important you always go after BPA-best player available.
If we need to we can steal a PG later on in free agency then that is an option to fill in behind Kyrie.
All the speculation about prospects is BS till we get to see them at the combine to know what they can do and what they really are.
I consider anyone that is not a part of the future as a major piece to be trade fodder, if they can get us a future pick via trade. I want to keep Kyrie he gets us up and winning faster plus Cooper can learn faster with him here. Everybody else is a trade piece.
But if we pick at 8 and Brown, Fleming, or Acuff are there you take whoever is available. At 30 you try to move up by trading our trade fodder and top of that list are guys we want to trade now anyway like AJ and Martin. I would love to not have to stretch waive these guys by finding a team willing to take them off our hands.
Objective with 30 is still BPA but I personally think the team needs a 5 that we can use and I also want us to resign Bagley plus give Cisse a spot.
I can see whoever we take with this pick playing the 5 a lot this year. Bagley has PF skills so use him there behind Cooper and as a backup 5. Lively cannot be counted on because he may step off the curb funny and end up getting hit he is so snakebit he may get hurt playing video games. Also, Gafford is not exactly super healthy himself hence the need for a rookie, a 2 way guy Cisse, and a PF Bagley who is also useful at the 5.
I saw a mock last week showing us taking Tarris Reed jr. and that is a good choice if he is there at 30.
He outplayed Mara in the national championship if you ask me and Mara had a lot of help look at Michigans front line and for Tarris to perform as well as he did he is to be commended. Michigan had Yaxel, Morez and Aday. What a batch of messed up names and Tarris is not that normal either.
Our next thing to worry about is 3 pointers. Hopefully we are drafting guys that can shoot the 3 very well. Avoid guys who are not good at hitting 3 pointers.
