    Is he really 6'4" He looks 6'7" at moments.
    He was measured 6'5" in shoes with a 6'8" wingspan in 2014.
    Good chance he has grown since then.

    would LOVE if Cat Barber is available when we pick in the second round. Could be a great backup PG

    I really want J. Murray. I think he is better than Booker

    Watching what is happening with Boogie has me thinking. Say we don't get that top 5 pick, and the best players available are Hield, Dunn, Murray, Brown, or Poeltl, give me either Hield or Dunn. Nothing against the guys who are 1 and done in college, but the guys who have been in school for 3 and 4 years understand leadership, and how to be one. Those 1 and done types, or the guys who came straight out of HS don't quite understand what it means to be a leader on such a high level.

    I think of the Heat and how they really lucked into DWade. He had the experience to be a leader, and when Bosh and LBJ came to Miami, he was the leader of that group, not because he was there first, but because he had been a leader for nearly a decade.

    I am not saying that 1 and dones can't be leaders in time, but what this team needs is a talented leader. Someone who can command the respect of others, and be a key piece in getting this team pointed in the right direction.
    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    I agree and don't forget about Valentine.

    Dunn shooting struggles and health has given me pause honestly.

    There are some truly bad mock drafts out there.

    I have cooled on Dunn as well because of the same issues though I really like his leadership and drive and wouldn't be mad if we picked him. I just like 5 or so other guys better. I really hope the kid does well though wherever he goes.

    I thought that sbnation draft was terrible as well, seriously Jaylen Brown at 3rd, and Buddy Hield at 14? I doubt it.
    Hey @okcthunder - you guys suck! Our top players are hurt. Some are dead. Some don't even like basketball.And we still kicked y'all's asses!- @TheFakeMonty

    No the pels fanse base is unreasonable high on Heild, he's college good but he will be a back up in the NBA.

    If Jamal Murray is on the board and we don't pick him I would go ape****.

    Honestly it can go plenty of ways with him. His character alone and his drive may push him past expectations (Curry,Leonard, Butler) all done this. He is also a true leader and a closer. And most importantly, he is a good kid with a big heart. You can never count those guys out. He can improve his handles, he can improve his defense capabilty, because a player like will want to be the best, which on our team ATM we really don't have (DAT DRIVE AND DETERMINATION DOE)

    I wont be pissed if we drafted him, but i would be skeptical to see how he translates.

    His floor is Reddick Orlando days, his Ceiling is Harden/Ray Allen IMO

    You really have a personal vendetta against the guy huh? haha. NBA size, NBA skill set, beyond the baseline measurables needed to have strong success that numerous others have had and succeeded with. All with one of the highest work ethics and character in the draft.

    SBnation is the outlier on Hield. DE has him at 9. NBAdraft.net has him at 6 to us. HoopsHype has him at 7 to us. CBS has him at 12. Chad Ford has him at 9 and trending up.

    You know who is actually overvaluing someone relative to where most draft sites evaluations have them?........Just saying, rocks and glass houses and all that.

    My only concern with Hield is the hero ball he plays and his shot selection. This could all be due to the lack of talent he is surrounded with at OU though. It only concerns me because I see a little of Reke's negatives in him sometimes. He may be a different player when surrounded by Jrue and AD; knowing that he has guys to trust with the shot. He is still easily in my top 10 players for us.

    Murray is a ASSASSIN but he raises flags with his athleticism and defense. Also his age may play factor due to this organization impatience

    When I hear him talk about who is model players are my concerns of IQ fall away. He admits needing to learn to play off the ball better(which he has done), to be more capable as a rim and 3 shooter. Working on defense and adjusting to how the NBA game is evolving.

    Tyreke on the other hand thinks his way works well enough for him so don't mess with it and I prefer you not to ask me to change too much. Tyreke also lacks that fire and hatred of losing that frankly, no one on this team currently has it seems. Except maybe AD to an extent.

    Hield's hero ball seems more along the lines of what you want: A guy who can take smart shots in the clutch and hit them.

    I was just checking these out and I had to go read up on Wade Baldwin and then watch some video of him play..... it does make sense how he is shooting up draft boards. I mean, he does have a 6'10" reach while being a 6'3" PG. He does shoot 3's at 41% and averaging 5.2 assists in college is damn good. He is only 19 too.

    I wonder about his athleticism? Cant really tell in the videos i watched

    How does anyone think this guy is just a role player in the NBA?

    Most mocks I've seen don't even have him being drafted, and in CNNs he is a top 6 pick?

    Somebody hit the pipe before they made that mock...and hard.
