Long wingspan and quickness should give him upside defensively with thibs. This isn’t a Jordan clarkson player, although that could be a reasonable floor. But his ceiling is an elite scorer in the league.

If I was golden state I’d take him here. He was hurt most of those season. He’s a possible super star and at a minimum will be a force off the bench. I’d take giddet at 14 if avail. They can use giddey wiseman and Bouknight as role players and in two years they become a force as young starters

I’m not impressed

I'm not sure he's done any workouts. I know he skipped the combine because he's with the Australian nation team.

# 19 Tre Mann Pg 6-4
# 21 Chris Duarte sf 6-6
#32 Jericho Sims C 6-10
58. jt Thor sf 6-10

From 12-23 alot of these players are at the same Tier, we are losing alot of FA's and need to create young, cheap base of players coachable that will grow with out current base. Look at teams left in NBA playoffs have done, build by draft with lots of picks.

I'd be cool with this. The problem is, you can't have high expectations to compete if you do this. Knox, Randle, IQ, Mitch, Obi and RJ are guaranteed to come back, barring a trade. I'll throw Theo Pinson in there as well . That's 6-7 roster spots right there. That's almost half the teams active roster spots. I'm assuming the last second-round pick will be traded, sold, used on a draft and stash, or won't make the team. That leaves the three first-rounders (I think of the 32nd pick as a late-first rounder). The roster is up to 9-10 roster spots, leaving three active spots. Assuming Luca makes the team, that's 10-11. Let's say they bring back Taj on a cheap deal so there's a vet big man. 11-12 spots, which leaves one to two active roster spots. The team probably still need a starting PG and Vet wing. In a perfect world, all three rookies exceed excpections. Realistically, they all struggle learning the league to some extent. If you keep all picks, then you're conceding that next season is kind of interstitial. Do you have the patience? I'm cool punting on free agency this year, but I wonder about the rest of the fan base.
