He's on the participants' list, but it's always worth noting that this stuff is subject to change and players don't always participate in every aspect of the combine. I hate getting excited for the scrimmages and then half the interesting players aren't partaking in that part.

But here's the list

True. It’s also probably why we drafted Grimes.

 

[TOAD99]

We got the 11th pick?

Shout out to World Wide Wes, everywhere we go we leave a World Wide Mess

Daniels, Sochan or Liddell.

Make it happen, keep it simple, try to stop being the smartest people in the room each year.

Mathurin's mocked at that range pretty often. I really like his game.

Only concern I'd have is how bringing him on would impact Grimes.

Eason is another I'd be down for. Having th switchability some of these forwards bring to the table to support RJ/pair with Obi is interesting as hell.

11 and Randle to Portland for 7.

A lot of value at the 11th spot.

Kidd used Frank the same way I said that Thibs should.

I get your point, but I feel like regardless of the position we draft, we'll run into a bit of clashing with other young talents. So I'm leaning toward BPA as strategy unless the fit is obviously bad.

PG - IQ, Rokas, McBride SG - RJ, IQ, Grimes SF - Cam, RJ. PF - Obi. C - Mitch (maybe), Sims

I do like Tari Eason. I love switchable defenders and he's a genuine prospect for guarding 3 or more positions. At SF, I'd give Ousmane Dieng a long look too (though I feel like the fanbase has had enough of French prospects and players). Dieng would be another project, but we have the logjams where drafting a high-upside project could make sense. I prefer Dyson Daniels for that Point-Forward potential, because Daniels plays more like a guard. But Dieng would be similar to how I saw Kai Jones last year...park him in the G-League for a year and develop him with big minutes and reps. See what you've got by year two.

Might be the move. If Mathurin or Daniels isn’t there I’d take Dieng over a guy like Davis or even Sochan.
