There are some good players in the draft. He’s the only franchise player imo
He’s 7-1 prob 260 muscular legs no fat. I know it’s basic but that’s how you learn great fundamental footwork. He’s working hard he’s a smart kid too. He’s just going to physically dominate guys quick. Not many his size

I’d feel dam good about this team going forward with Barrett abd Wiseman. It would be the first time in over 20 years. I don’t feel that way with ANY other draft pick. Those would be our 2 main guys and we could just fill it out smart

Size isn't everything. Footwork, agility, coordination matter, especially in the NBA.

I'll trust our front office - hope they do well.

More than anything, I hope we get lucky- The last big man you were in love with was Okafor, no? And I remember seeing him in video, and thinking, wow what a great offensive talent. Is he in the league next year?

I hope we get lucky, and if a 'can't miss have to take him' player like wiseman is going to bust out like Okafor, I hope we miss out on making that mistake, and perhaps end up with a lower ceiling but serviceable player.

Absolute 100% no brainer. Please let us get lucky

Didn't Mitch have awful hands at the start?

Wiseman can be a beast if his game is more patterned like KAT but better defensively. Say we get 5-6 do you trade Mitch and Knox or a pick to get Wiseman.

easy yes. EASY.

Wiseman would be homegrown as well???

I would just keep Mitchell and draft Edwards or Ball. Now I would also explore what I could get for Mitch and if I could trade for a starting pg, I would consider it but it would have to be someone proven and young (no more DSJr based on potential moves). Someone like shai Gilmore-alexander, who we could have drafted by the way.

yeah the shai thing hurts but in all fairness he looked like an exact clone of frank coming out just one year after we took frank.

They never have, which is why we haven't drafted one since charlie ward.

Look how many really good pg's that have been drafter recently, we made no moves to try and move up to get a trey, Ja or fox to name a few.

Its crazy how long it's been since we made that position a top priority, we just continue to either trade or acquire overrated pg's, past his prime pg, a pg that can't shoot, or one that shoots too much, ones that pass too much, ones that plays no defense, ones that sulk on the bench, pg's with their own agenda, pgs that are way to slow.

what make it so bad is that that's the position that seems to be the missing link on every roster that's been assemble in the last 20+ yrs

If the mock draft as above is anywhere near accurate we got a real chance at landing this guy...
