I feel the same way. I just don’t know which of Mathurin and Daniels will be left. Fine with either but I really want Daniels

Question is, does Griff believe in a diverse investment portfolio?

I know you're joking, but I would not be surprised if next year's pick swap has us picking in the top 10 again next year. Maybe even top-5. All it takes is one major injury to a 38 year old Lebron and that team is toast.Of only Lakers sucked even harder

I get the appeal of Benny now more than I did before. I think Willie can get him to buy in defensively, at which point his ceiling as a 3 and D player is elite. He can't dribble, so it may look something like Jaylen Brown, but he was just the second best player on a finals team.
Daniels is so perfect though if you buy the shot. A 6'8 player who can defend 1-3, connect and playmake, run a little PnR, rebound it really well. Plays the exact type of basketball that Willie demands offensively and defensively
The odds of both of us and LA making the playoffs should be way lower than the odds of one missing it. I am assuming it’s a lotto pick. Back half of lotto, but lotto nonetheless
I think it goes
Smith
Chet
Paolo
Murray
Ivey
Mathurin
Sharpe
Pels take Daniels. Happily, and he is happy too. Would be my guess on how top 8 shakes out if I had to bet right now
I just don’t see Indy taking Mathurin with Haliburton, Duarte, Brogden and Hield on the roster(plus others). And I fully realize they could trade Brogden and Hield tomorrow, but I still see them trying to go in a different direction if things shake out as it looks now. Daniels is a little more positionally versatile at least if it were me. Or they could trade back or shock everyone.

Pacers are going full rebuild. Smart teams don't take guys based on who they have now, they base it on their vision for the player in the future.
Mathurin is a pretty ideal fit with Haliburton IMO.
Who's picking 7? I thought the field vs Portland would be the field
Also, this would be amazing
You think Portland takes Sharpe? That would be interesting. Or are you expecting Portland to trade the 7th pick/trade down?
And I would love that scenario. If we walk away with any of the top 8 or Sochan, I'm thrilled.
I think Portland takes Sharpe. If they trade, OKC would take Sharpe but Atlanta or Toronto would take Daniels. So I actually hope they don’t trade it
No way Portland is taking Sharpe. The last thing they need is another guard who can't play defense.
Im a big fan of Daniels so I'd be stoked, just don't see how it helps Portland compete. I could easily see them taking Daniels over Sharpe for the defense.

This is definitely not not a smokescreen of some sort
Be very careful of saying “no way” this time of year. I know it is more alpha to make definitive claims, but you aren’t in their war room. You have no idea
What I do know for fact is that word has spread like crazy over the weekend that they love Sharpe. Made it all the way to two EC teams. Now, maybe they are doing it to entice a trade. Maybe it is real. I won’t pretend like I know for sure
Daniels o/u draft position has now fallen to 7.5. Mathurin remains at 6.5 and Sharpe remains at 7.5
The league thinks the top 5 is set player wise. Just a matter of order.
Sharpe, Mathurin, and Daniels should be the next 3. Sharpe getting serious looks from both 6 and 7. Mathurin from 6 more than 7. Daniels 7 more than 6
Refresh my memory, how 'concrete' was it that we were going to take Murphy leading up to draft day?
Was it less concrete, or pretty similar to who we are (very likely) gonna take this year, should they be there?
I feel like Murphy firmed in the few days leading up, but who we love has been telegraphed a bit sooner this draft

I feel like I saw that smoke a lot earlier.
Also, Minny has called us about Jax…
Sell, sell, sell
He's always gonna be a sieve defensively playing the 4 or 5
I'm not swayed by a couple flashy blocks when he was in the right place at the right time

How excited were you to hear that?It does seem like he and the team would be best served with a fresh start elsewhere.
Nance needs to be getting all of Jax's minutes until Jax wants to rebound and defend
His bball IQ is trash. Freak athlete but man...

Couldn't agree more
If an opponent is about to dunk on him, or has a head full of steam downhill, watch him run the other way
