Take Kuminga at 8 too and it'll be the Magic quinella of great athletes who can't shoot.

No draft picks. Hooray

Quick thoughts on the top of this draft after doing some YT scouting.

Cade - Stud. Easy #1 pick.
Green - Stud. Should be one of the best scorers in the league fairly quickly.
Mobley - Stud. Wish he was more assertive but he has zero holes in his game. Perfect modern big.
Suggs - Stud. Doesn't have the obvious franchise guy look like the first three but you just know he's going to overachieve.
Barnes - Jumper is completely broken, does everything else well and people rave about his work ethic. No clue what he is.
Kuminga - Major Rudy Gay / Harry B vibes. Probably won't live up to his physical gifts.
Bouknight - This year's workout warrior, looks like he could be a bucket but not sure what makes him much better than a Jordan Clarkson.
Wagner - Decent role player.
Giddey - Great feel and instincts but a lesser athlete who can't shoot isn't a combo that you want in a primary ballhandler.
Sengun - Easily the most interesting guy outside the top five, good chance he's only an Enes Kanter type but with his passing and creativeness in the post there's definitely some serious offensive hub potential.
Mitchell - Expecting him to go lower than expected. Sparkplug guy but doesn't have the profile of a lead guard.
Moody - Tough one. I get the appeal but I don't like my 3&D prospects to be bad athletes.
Kispert - Just too good a shooter with enough size that there's no way he's not valuable in some capcity.
Duarte - Older than me but should be an instant contributor to a good team.
Murphy - Seems like another solid role player.
Garuba - Great defender but you have to play him with a stretch big so he's not an easy fit.
Kai Jones - Texas is pumping out these bigs who look like they're a decade away from contributing.
Cam Thomas - Tunnel vision. Hated this guy's film.
Jalen Johnson/Ziaire Williams/B.J. Boston - No one can convince me this isn't the same guy.

Cavs are getting Mobley. Im happy with that.

Pretty much agree with all of these. Duarte should be the best guard in the Altman era in the NBA because of the 3/D profile.

Mitchell..I mean in the NCAA's he looked amazing......he could be a top 5 guy in the draft or out of the league in 5 years.

On Green, I'm always skeptical of guys that skip college for the G-League based on lack of competing..but not as skeptical as I am of guys that quit on their team like Fultz and Simmons. I think he may be an exception and will absolutely be a volume scorer, at least.

Lakers working on a deal to get Buddy Hield from the Queens? OK.

[worldofx]

Lord have mercy.

[Gyle]

HELLO

[worldofx]

LMAO the Buddy Hield deal lasted a good five minutes.

[General_Grantlocks]

The asking price for Simmons has been pretty funny.

Thankfully, the Blazers have no draft picks for Olshey to waste in shitty players.
