Buffalo Horn Cartier Cade needs help.




Pls get rid of Grant . I hope they get Shaedon Sharpe or Jalen Bruson with a nice bag.

He's one of these guys that could benefit from going to a as school like Kentucky and getting as much playing time as possible... That's the only downside to the gleauge...the ignite season is so short

the g league hasn't landed anyone this year so i'm assuming if he goes there, he'll get a ton of time. but if he wanted draft buzz, he'll get it at kentucky

They have pick 12 and 30 if they really want to get a big man... Mark Williams / Duren etc I don't think you have to have a franchise big man to be an elite team either way

they can do both (although I'm starting to think Williams and Duren both go top 10; Mark's measurables really helped him. 13 is his absolute floor. He is absolutely in play as early as 7 depending on what teams think of Duren). I don't think guard is necessarily a huge need to address for them, whereas even their forward depth is lacking. They could spend all 4 picks on size and I couldn't blame them.

If they missed out on the three bigs on lotto night and they went BPA, not that I'd love it, but I'd understand, but I also don't think they were willing to throw away a season for Jaden Ivey.

Yeah I just think they need to go with whoever they believe is highest upside... They have to convert one of these picks into another all-star caliber guy I don't think positional need should matter for them

I just saw someone drafted AJ Griffin 4th in the mock

I don't necessarily hate it, though it's only realistic in a trade down

I just don’t think he’s that good. Injury prone in HS and college barely played and didn’t show much at Duke. I mean he’s a good shooter I guess but I don’t see him as a player with star potential. He can be a solid role player. He’s one of the youngest players in the draft but he moves like one of the oldest.

I like Griffin (despite the concerns). On the Kings he'd have to turn into THE volume guy from 3 (or their PF better shoot it a lot too).

whoever shoots and makes threes in volume is someone the Kings have to jump on in round 2 regardless of where they play.

@Easy-E make the NOLA pick

Ain't feeling Brunson if the bag is in the $25-30 mil range.

I saw every game he played at Duke and he couldn't beat anyone off the dribble. I believe he got hurt the first week of practices at Duke. Maybe he needs another year or two of rehab, but he's definitely injury prone. I don't see how he's a lottery pick.
