re: Draft Discussion

Wasserman released a post-NCAA Tourney top 50 big board last night: LINK

He's not the only one who I've seen move Josh Giddey way up their board since he returned from injury these last couple of weeks.

I'd be pretty nervous about taking Kispert as a lottery pick. Yes, we need shooting in the worst way and he's a good fit on that end. But I really worry about his fit on defense because there's no hiding him with the guys we have. If we are drafting for fit, I'd rather Davion Mitchell in our projected range who isn't quite as good of a shooter, but he can still knock it down at a good clip AND give you elite perimeter defense and get to the paint. Or even Jared Butler a little later in the first round -- who again, is also a good C&S guy AND can be a plus guy on the defensive end.

Basically I would keep going for the higher upside guys where we are slated to pick near the end of the lottery right now with Mitchell being my only exception as a "fit" pick. A lot will change between now and draft day as far as what the board will look like, but I'd prefer more upside guys like Moody, Wagner, Barnes, Ziaire, Kai, and maybe Giddey over Kispert right now.
