I haven't checked recent Mocks, but Dillingham sliding to Miami is a thing?

yes. Even as low as Orlando at 18. I don't love him in Miami but only because Herro is an awful fit alongside him. Teams shouldn't overthink this.


Even talk that Topic is gonna slide (I simply can't believe that in a trash draft where you don't even know if the player you're drafting is good or even if he is, that he's a project now, that drafting a guy who will miss most of next year is a deterrent somehow). That's why I think Topic can't fall lower than 10. If Utah drafts him and they tank for Flagg, you can enter 2025-26 with Flagg, a healthy Topic, 9 time DPOY Walker Kessler and a re-upped Lauri Markkanen. Mark Cuban will mysteriously quit the Mavs so fast.

Buzelis is a top 5 lock and I don't know how that happened.

Portland is the biggest wild card. They seem linked to everyone who isn't a PG. They want Clingan but to trade up with Houston, they may need to deal future picks for Clingan

I'm making some changes to my mock now that Shannon is probably locked into round 1.

there's no way dillingham slides out of the lottery
He shouldn't. I'd take him over Castle, but it looks like Castle has done a good job angling being a PG for some teams.

I'd also take him over Carter, but I tend to believe promises. Carter probably doesn't slip past 11, 13 at worst.

The biggest debate I guess would be Topic vs. Dillingham at 10, but I think Topic is the better long term prospect and Utah is in no rush to compete.

Reinsdorf isn't a serious person.

I don’t believe it unless It was Houston.. Ime would pull some shyt like that. Otherwise, It had to be protection or more to the trade. That trade don’t make sense for any of the real lottery teams who are still looking for a cornerstone. It kinda makes sense for Detroit… but still
