With the 14th Pick in the 2022 NBA Draft ...

Sooo...3 2nds...guessing we're trading up somewhere.

Bingo

I'm just gonna sit over here and pretend this guarantees we get John Butler tonight. I need the Slim Sniper in Cleveland.

I don't even think he wants come over to the states. Did kings just give us a 2nd for free? Also I don't know why we traded for another 2nd.

I could see us wanting to lock up our 2 two way contracts and they have players in mind for both that won't make it to being UDFA.

Figured they bought it and spent actual Cash.

I know this probably really goes against a lot of consensus but this is what I would believe to be true, if you are trying to project outcomes from profiles. Post combine, I'd probably land here if someone made me finally rank all these guys.

Chet, he's just the #1 player. The stuff about Paolo / Smith going #1 would be wild to me. Chet has been the #1 guy in his class pretty much his whole life and his performance at every level has done nothing to change that. Very much overthinking if Orlando doesn't take him.

Tier 2.......I honestly think Tier 2 is big. I see this as very small everywhere else, but I'd buy an argument for taking any of these players #2. Does that match the traditional group think......no it does not but all have really redeeming analytical qualities.......and guys like Eason / Williams / Ivey add in special physical qualities as well that are tough to ignore. I also think Griffin is firmly in this conversation without a knee red flag.

Tier 3......I haven't talked about him much but Liddell is probably the very quiet riser of this middle pocket. He has two years of plus production and he tested out far better than expected. I think I have talked about both Moore and Minott.......guys I think are really undervalued relative to an NBA projection.

Rocks.......I am well below consensus on Ochai, Branham, Davis. All 3 need to buck a pretty strong modeling trend (especially for considered lottery picks).

At #39......I would hope 2-3 guys from T4 would be there. My personal favorite being Roddy......although he may have worked out too well from what I have seen. #2 on my wish list would be someone like Vince Williams Jr. (I say those two names expecting guys like Ochai, Davis, etc. will be gone from that tier). Just to curb anyone veering off there.

I must have been reading your justifications over the years very closely... We are both down on the Ochai/Davis/Branham shooting guard group. I'm also with you on Griffin, Roddy and Champagnie being better than their mocks.

Good stuff!

I’m going to place a prediction that we trade up to get GS pick at 28

 

[FrontPageNews]

Maybe ammo to get back into the first?

Rumor has it Denver really likes him at 21. 3 2nds ain't getting us that high.

I would think a couple future 2nd round pick would be worth more than 3 2nd round picks in one draft. Its kind of last minute to make a plan of attack for that many picks.

It might be ammo to move our two later 2nd round picks for a earlier one so we get two guys in.the 30s.

I had this thought too. We spent $1.75mil to get a 2nd round pick, we must have some plan in place for it.

Just wrote that in a text chain with local Warrior fans. Agreed!

I saw the Fedor tweet about Murray. I read it as we talked about Murray around the deadline. I didn't read like we are having discussions currently for him. I could be wrong though.
