I'm not convinced its worth taking Green over Barnes or Kuminga. If we are at 3 and Cade/Mobley arr gone, I look to trade down to maybe 5 or 6 to grab Scottie
Fun matchup today in the Serbian League playoffs between Petrusev, one of the best pure scoring bigs in the draft, and KK Partizan's tough, athletic defensive frontcourt of Rashawn Thomas and William Mosley (5th all-time in NCAA blocks). He's crept up to 33rd on ESPN's big board, and could rise into the first round with a strong showing here.
Petrusev's teammate Cazalon is a possible late second round pick; he's a young and athletic SG/SF who's struggled to find his rhythm this season, but had a really good game a couple days ago with 19 points and 4 dimes.

Love Scottie, but I could be convinced on Kuminga as well. I think Kuminga's shot is more likely to translate despite the poor percentages. Okoro makes it hard to want to take either of them though.
I know Kuminga's younger than Barnes, but it's really tough for me to understand why he's above Barnes on many big boards. Barnes is very obviously the better passer and defender at this stage, and I can't see Kuminga closing the gap on him there. Kuminga maaaaaybe could be a better shooter? Is there any other reason to prefer Kuminga?

I "feel" the same way. My head is saying, "what are you doing!!"
Just my opinion, but i think drafting Scottie would incentivize keeping Sexton. I just dont see another team trading an equal type player (in terms of scoring) for Sexton.
Huuuuuge game for Cazalon on a big stage today. Wow. 23 points and 6 dimes, including a few seriously impressive plays.
Better view of that poster dunk
He's a really, really interesting stash option.

What opportunities have we had? The majority of the second round picks from 2017-2020 were traded in various LeBron era trades. We also know they scouted Deni early and often but ultimately concluded that Okoro was their guy.

He mostly goes after the USA U-17 players i thought?
Aside from being international, Cazalon would be a very KPJ-like pick. Young SG with very good physical tools and a budding dribble/pass/shoot skillset, but without the consistency of some more highly-regarded prospects.

Yes but I thought you were talking more about the late first round, and second round draft and stash type guys.
What Euros in the 2018-2020 drafts that were available at the time of our lotto picks do you think should have taken over Sexton/Garland/Okoro?
