Draft Hopes

Good afternoon, all.
Many threads out there on similiar posts, just thought I would throw my two cents in (Canadian currency):
Admittedly, I am a Duke fan, so my body of knowledge is stronger following their players, but I would take either Kon or Kamen at our spot.
Both games translate well to the NBA. If we keep Yves and Karlo, I would try to convert Karlo to more of a '4' as Kamen is a true lob threat/rim protector...ala Mark Williams/Derick Lively...that's his top side. As I said during each of those other two earlier careers, it is equally true of Kaman - he would improve his stock by learning to jump shoot from 6-10 feet away.
Kon is extremely mature, high basketball IQ, above average defense, and better than you think athleticism multi-skilled. A better version of Brandon Podzjemski at GSW (sorry for the spelling).
Have a great day !

According to pretty much anybody who's opinion matters, this is not true at all. Just because you only know 3/4 guys does not matter.
That being said, the NBA is rigged and I'm going to do my best to not support it next year and no matter who we draft it could not get me excited for this Pels team.

This is a much better class than last year.
Yes, there are tiers, but at 7 we should be able to get a player that would have gone higher last year.

A Canadian Duke fan?

Kon Knueppel but I think Utah takes him at 5.

I am an oddity for sure, TigerBait.
I coach what you would refer to as AAU basketball, so I tend to follow team who have had a coaching legacy. The Pels are the exception to that rule.
I live in a small city called Stratford, 20 000 people, about an a hour and a half west of Toronto, our biggest city. I became a Pels fan after the AD trade.
Have a great day, TigerBait.

I know plenty of the pool. It's just my opinion, dipshit.

Hope so. Blah, I really wanted Ace.

If we keep Zion and Trey then give me Knueppel over Ace Bailey easy. Ace has the higher ceiling no doubt but he’s raw as all hell and he’s another ball dominant guy that is going to put up a lot of shots both good and bad. I don’t think he’s truly any help to a team looking to go to the playoffs next year and if we keep Zion we damn sure better be going to the playoffs. I can see him taking a couple years before he really makes an impact. Knueppel on the other hand is a plug and play sharpshooting wing off the bench that can play impactful minutes as a rookie.

Of course, if the team somehow becomes competitive, you’ll probably change your mind. It’s only natural.

Wtf are you talking about. Am I supposed to be some fair weather fan or something because I'm pissed at the NBA right now?
