If they were to draft a guard (ie. Davion Mitchell), I think they'd need to deal Flynn or FVV. Even Keon Johnson, at 6'5 creates a roster crunch with the guards. I don't love Gary Trent having to play too much SF.

I wonder if the team would be willing to trade down if BPA is another guard. Would a team like the Knicks move both their picks to move up and grab a guy like Davion Mitchell? Would we even want to do that, or stick with BPA and figure out the roster after?

Moody and Kispert don’t really excite me mind you. Kispert’s stock seems to be falling beyond where we are likely to draft though

This is true. I have no issue going bpa as sometimes that player ends up being a star even if you have someone at the position already. We have options. Trading down like you mentioned could be another option if we don’t get our target pick.

Siakams been killing bigs off the dribble since losing the weight from covid. Looks like prime siakam to me.

And I know he doesn’t look the part, but OG might be the strongest raptor of all time. Seems like he shows off subtle feats of strength every game. Very impressed with the kid. Glad he’s locked up. Totally a piece of a winner.

I think the safest and easiest route is to draft a guard and trade existing assets for a center. I could be wrong but I'm not sure our front office is invested in drafting a project.

Schroder would agree.

Luckily Pascal won’t have to deal with the bubble anymore. Siakam and PG13 just want to forget the bubble ever happened lol. So do I

I rarely like to go with needs as a posed to picking the bpa, but our 1 through 4 is pretty set already. Even if the big man is a project, at least we have someone to develop at the 5 instead of over paying for a mediocre big in free agency.

Not a fan of drafting a big in the lottery. They're almost always a disappointment and they take way too long to develop.

Normally I agree, but Mobley seems too perfect.

I wouldn't read/believe all the scouting reports on him. If he was that perfect, he would be the no.1 pick. He is still really raw.

I think I have Suggs over Cade I’m my board. Cade is a unicorn, but Suggs reminds me of a lot of great guards in the league. Sort of like a wade with a 3.

Resting for a back to back makes sense from a workload standpoint as he has logged heavy minutes/usage the last few games but they are in a must win situation so it is a little surprising that he is resting.
