Draft Targets at 17

I can convince myself with all of these guys except Kai Jones.

If Sengun is still there at 17, I’m booking it to the podium. We can flip Val for a decent guard/wing if we want/need to.

If Sengun is off the board, out of the players listed, I’d probably like Duarte or Kips fit wise if we are bringing Zo back or slotting someone like Lowry in. If we aren’t planning on targeting guard in Free agency, I’m looking at guys like Springer, Bones, or Tre Mann.

You also might be able to flip 17 and 35 for something like 22 and 23 from Houston and grab 2 guys you like. Maybe 1 high floor guy and 1 ceiling play.

I’m cool with packaging 17+35+50 to move up a few spots to get the guy you want.

Would love to see them land Kispert, Duarte, or Murphy

I could even see Davion Mitchell falling to 17 if teams are really worried about his measurements. I think of the guys likely to still be available, my big board would:

1. Sengun
2. Keon Johnson
3. Kispert
4. Jalen Johnson
5. Duarte

i'm sure if there are guys we really like that we feel we can get later, you can trade back to Houston for 23 and 24 and get them there.

Kispert
Jared Butler
Joshua Primo
Trey Murphy
Ayo Dosunmu

Why would you want Reddish? That's like having 4 free agents from 1 class. That would be insane to even consider that.

I want Kispert, Murphy, or Duarte. But Duarte is my first choice.

All of them will be RFA. The only guy who is most likely to get a max will be Zion. If other teams try to sign those guys, we can match. Especially if all of them work together. You guys love to trade for superstars like Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal or Lavine but worried about getting a guy on his rookie contract because he is the same as our other rookies.
