If you break this down body language analysis wise.

Griffin seems to be running point on this conversation and definitely seems to be the one with the most interest.

Langdon has his hand over his face like he is skeptical and his chair pushed back ready to make a quick exit.

Willie Green is looking at his plate hoping more food will magically reappear so he can occupy his mind and thoughts about something else other than having another nonspacer on the floor.

If Sochan ends up being the pick. I can confidently ascertain that Griff is the one ultimately making the final call/decision.

Zero chance we take Sharpe. He canceled on us.

We don't know that, but it sounds like Chet is playing that game for OKC. If they got in Sharpe's ear too, making teams like the Pels reluctant to draft him makes it more likely we'll trade with them.

Yeah too much frickery with him it seems. As for the long held belief by some that Cal's plan was for him to sit this season:

I know this is mostly tongue in cheek, but the guy who runs the draft for the Pels is sitting left of Sochan.

Honestly Chet obviously makes a ton of sense to OKC but Sharpe cancelling on us for OKC makes zero sense(if that’s even true). Where’s he gonna play? Giddey, SGA, and hell even Mann was solid for them. If this is true, he’s kind of dumb for this.

I don’t think him cancelling is true either

Jake Fisher said 8 might be the starting point for Sharpe. Sure there's a ton of misinformation out there right now, but Sharpe falling out of the top 7 fits the facts we have a lot more than him getting a promise from a top 7 team.

He's obviously not going top 3. Sac wouldn't promise him, Detroit has been all over the place, from exploring trades to all the Mathurin smoke. Doesn't seem like they would be making a promise and then have all of those other rumors attached to them. Indy? Maybe. Portland wouldn't go after Sharpe either but could be involved in a potential trade up for him.

It's Sharpe they're trading up for, not Daniels.

That’s got to be fake. No way can’t be a serious offer…

Portland can do better than that

man how interesting it would be if Murray starts to fall.


We’d flap for more than 4 hours and need to call a doctor.

But Mathurin is more realistic.

Apparently we’re with Sochan today.


On a podcast from the Athletic that was released today Sam Vecenie, who’s probably regarded as one of the best journalist when it comes to evaluating nba talent, has Sochan 5th on his board.


I think he said he has Daniels 6th but might have misheard that. He said a few days ago he’ll have his scouting reports, big boards, etc out in a few days.

He did mention on the Russillo pod that he has Sochan above Daniels, but he said he had Mathurin at 5. Now, things can obviously change by the day, but that pod was released on Thursday.

Agreed. Daniels and Giddy would be a weird fit
