Preston looking pretty at home so far in Cleveland...just saying...
Who?

Who?
Jason Preston, he's a combo guard for Ohio who's projected in the 2nd round. The Q is hosting the MAC playoffs, where Ohio will play in the finals tomorrow.
Ahhh...forgot about him.
Wojo reported that the combine would late October and the draft was 11/18/21Where did you hear that? I thought I heard (maybe from Zach Lowe's podcast??) the expectation around the league is for the draft to be held at some point in late July. The lottery is typically held during the second round of the playoffs, which would be sometime in June.
He's the clearest future franchise player with the highest ceiling in this draft. Been my #1 since I found myself glued to the the screen watching a whole USC vs Cal Irvine game early in the season.
I keep coming back to this...
He's better than Bosh at the same point in time in their development.
He's a NBA pedigree prospect, only scratching the surface of how good he can be and he's guaranteed to approach the league like a pro because his dad was a veteran who raised him and his brother on pro ball checks.
I wanted him in December before we got Allen and now I think he would be a game changing matchup problem next to him as a 4/5 that only teams with two seven footers who can play at the same time could counter (Brooklyn w KD, Memphis when JJJ comes back)
He's going to be one of the first two picks so I'm not 100% sure we need to win the lottery to get him. I'm silently really hoping Cade has a crazy March so some GM has visions of him being the perimeter guy he can build around (I don't think he is, but winning the B12 tourney and showing really well in the tourney could sell him)
I'd be willing to explore trading up from 4-8 to 1-2 to get Mobley, that's how bullish I am on him being the best franchise player AND fit for our recent lottery picks in this draft.
I'm going to shut up about him now so I don't jinx it.
1. Mobley
2. Kuminga
3. Barnes
For my Cavs wishlist as of now.
