If I had a "realistic wish list" of two guys to get at 19/21 its Cam Thomas and Garuba. Both are specialized 1-way players but I see no reason both cant develop to be at least role players on the other side of the ball with more upside than that. They give you an athletic pair of prospects who can also earn rotation minutes and help the coach right away.

Honestly I really trust the front office and will be excited with whatever buttons they press. I like Sexton. I like tons of guys in the draft. Its not a sexy FA class but there are good players to plug holes if we end up guard heavy or big heavy because we drafted BPA etc so I fell really good about whatever happens.

Jalen Johnson doesnt scare me. Kids acting immature dont scare me. Ignorant FOs throwing poo on walls scare me. If we draft someone like Jalen Johnson it will be under heavy scrutiny, with plenty of intel and input from not only the scouts but the guys who will coach him.

"Can you work with this kid?"
"I dont think he's right for our program" or "He's raw and it could take time but I love his attitude and personality and even his family"
etc etc etc

That being said I think the most overrated guy is Kispert. I just feel like we have seen this show before and its ok at best

LMAO @ the bolded....I don't dislike Garuba, I just think at 19 or 21, there should be players available that can defend (not at Garuba's level, but is more than formidable on the defensive) and also give us a lift on the offensive side of the ball too. Players like Jared Butler and Ziaire Williams.

Cam Thomas is very intriguing. He checks 2 critical boxes: can create his own shot and can shoot it from deep (he has logo range). He shot 39-40% on catch and shoot 3's. If he gets consistent minutes, he is going to drop 30 more than once next season, no doubt. The problem with Cam is that he is streaky and when he's not scoring he's not doing anything else. Wouldn't be upset if we grabbed Cam, though.

No, not even close. Best case, you use a rubber and keep it moving. Worse case, you need antibiotics and you're out of commission for a few weeks. With the picks you're in a marriage contract and if you're in for a mess if it fails. I want to add that I've never had the clap and I'm guessing on the recovery time.
