Briggs .. maybe at #54... he hasn't played high school ball. That's pretty raw.
I should say, we should give this kid a serious look. Im not saying that I think we should pick him 30, rather at 7-1 or so 235 with those type of raw skills--well for example mngeba from Dallas got 3 yr 4.5mm which is much more than pick 30 or a high 2 etc... and mgemba is probably just as raw without the same skills. Its the size and athletiscm with the fact that he has been scoring 20 points a game on the AAU circuit. I imagine he didnt eneter his name in the draft because he thought hed get lucky, something prompted it.
I said we need to think outside the box, we need to take calculated chances. If this kid worksout incredibly, well you cannot teach 7-1 and superior athletiscm.
we can always do something like move pick 30 back to the Lakers for example for picks 37+39 or move 53 up etc... Im sure there are varibale sin many cases, maneuverabilty depending on the circumstance.
I like to add ideas, I hope they leave no stone unturned
