I personally dont know enough about these guys to know who will be good but that's what Schmitz was hired for. If he believes in one of these dudes over the others, you absolutely must trade up and get that guy.
So when people on forums talk about all these guys are in the same tier so trade down and get more "value," I am strongly against that kind of thinking. Unless of course the talent evaluators you are paying millions of dollars to draft these players don't know any better than we do.
Definitely am in the trade up over trade down camp. It’s a strong possibility none of the point guards fall to 9. I’m personally a big fan of Mikel Brown Jr., if Masai and Schmitz identify a guy they think is gonna be a stud, I have no problems with them trading up to get them. Issue is, what do we really have that teams in front of us would want? 30 doesn’t move us up, Lakers 2029 might move us to 7? 6?
