What’s your draft prediction?

No discussions just answers, let’s see who gets close.

4: Who gets picked here and by who? (Do not post your trade)
39: Who gets picked here and by who?
57: Who gets picked here and by who?
Where does Bol Bol go?:

4: Culver, by us.
39: Claxton, who has fallen, by us.
57: Admiral Schofield, by us.

Bol goes at 22 to Boston.

#1 Zion

#4 and Ingram to Washington for Beal (mostly because this is what I’d like to see happen)

So Washington pick who at 4? Remember, the OP said not to post your trade, but instead to say who you think actually gets picked there and by whom.

Garland at 4

Getting the feel we pick Garland at 4 for Minnesota
#11 - Jaxson Hayes
use #39 and #57 to move up in 2nd for- Dylan Windler

I'm going sleeper trade. 4th & A second rounder plus Moore & Hill to the Pacers for Turner and 18th

#4..trade to minn for saric ...
#39..roby

sorry just saw no trade but thats my answer...

PELS better draft Garland. He’s going to be better than Ja Morant. He has weaknesses but it’s very obvious that he’s extremely difficult to defend. I found a bunch of footage of him playing pick up games against pro guys and a bunch of high school games. His basketball iq is very high despite turnovers. Omg the kid is really good. If he had played a full season I think his assists would be much higher. His shot off the dribble is the fastest I’ve ever seen. Only player that I can think of is Curry when I see that. If the PELS don’t get him I’m going to be disappointed.

I second your motion, pelicanchamp. PICK GARLAND!

There is a reason that other teams are bidding to move up to #4 to take him. Garland has the handles and shooting ability to be crazy good. His court vision is quite good too, but he has been relied on to shoot more than pass in high school and the handful of games he played at Vandy.

I think the Garland intrigue has a lot more to do with the Curry/Lillard fetish going on in the NBA right now rather than him as a prospect and what he has shown in college. I am high on Garland mind. There is no guarantee he is the next big thing though.

I agree. Garland does have a lot of potential, sure, and I wouldn't be angry if we drafted him or anything, but he got injured so early in his college career that there are question marks around his entire game.

The only thing that's guaranteed is that he can shoot. And with the current environment of the NBA, a lot of teams see a guard who looks like he could really be a volume sniper and they see dollar signs, regardless of everything else.

If we can’t get Turner, I don’t think we can go wrong with Culver/Garland. Both could be exceptional from the bench

Yes please!!!

I predict that we are going to be very happy in about 3.5 hours

RJ or Garland at #4 would be great!

Garland scares me as a full time starting point guard, but the guy can drain a three. He is as good as I have seen in this year’s class at stopping and popping. It is a nice fluid shot with no wasted motion. But his defense seems sub-par and since he is so young, he is prone to some bizarre choices in ball distribution. I would be happy taking him based solely on his shooting, but I don’t believe he is nearly ready to be a starter.

I believe this is the prediction with the greatest chance of being proven right.

Wait, Is Boston offering Tatum for our #4 and something else? We should listen if true.

I would doubt it but you never know. Where are you seeing this?

If we stay at 4---- we take Coby White (he can play on or off the ball and can really shoot it)

but i think we trade back and take a big - Jaxson Hayes and either cameron reddish or Rui Hachimura

Who do you have at 8 and 17?

I'd be pretty pleased myself.

I think if you have three firsts (which we now do) you can totally afford one of them to be a high-risk, high-reward gamble pick. Bol Bol is exactly that. He plays out well, he's an all-star. He doesn't, he may never play 30 games :hihi:

Atlanta likely traded up for Hunter, so he is likely to be gone.

I'm going to be mad if we take Reddish and then don't spend all summer teaching him not to change his release on contested shots.

Sekou or Hayes at 8, Bol Bol at 17

Jaxson Hayes at 8 (alternative: Cam Reddish)
Bol Bol at 17 (alternative: Rui Hachimura)
Dylan Windler at 35 (alternative: Luka Siminac)
Naz Reid at 39 (alternative: Chuma Okeke))

8-Reddish or Culver
17- Bitadze or Okpala
35- Okeke
39- Claxton or Porter
