re: Who we picking at 8?

The more i think about it, the more i think it's important to draft someone with a heavy influence on how they fit the culture of the team. guys that seem to not care about playing defense are guys i don't really want, and Mathurin kind of fits that, and he's who i've been wanting for quite some time. There's nothing that destroys team defense than someone who just gives piss poor effort to get through and around screens, and that's a big knock on him.

I'm liking Johnny Davis more and more at #8. And i still think Branham is a sleeper that goes in the early teens and if he interviews really well, i like him a lot and wouldn't mind moving down a few spots to get him, even though i can't stand the idea of ever moving down in the draft.
I think Ochai is a very safe pick with a high floor low ceiling.


Dare i say, even though i've said many many times it's dumb to trade down in the nba draft, that we move to #13 and #15 from Charlotte for #8 if we can get Branham and Williams there?
