I am fine with Ja, RJ or Garland. Let the chips fall and take whichever one makes it to us.

Seems like we are starting to have a lot of leverage with this 4th pick. We could even get Ja Morant or RJ if things get weird.

Y’all remember the KAT year when it was between him and Okafor for #1 and all of a sudden DLo jumped into 2nd and Okafor fell to 3?

They go back for another season and get more exposure, people have figured out their flaws and they aren’t a sexy pick anymore.

Perry Jones III comes to mind, as he was a potential top 5 pick in a weak draft but returned to Baylor for a season. The next year, OKC got him to the middle or end of the first IIRC.

It really depends though. If scouts see you don't improve much from year to year, then they question ceiling, work ethic, self awareness, etc. Perry Jones question going into his sophomore year was his assertiveness and focus, and he never improved did anything to dispell the belief in season two. Then he had a major medical red flag come up with his knees which pushed him down the boards even further.

If you return to college, you better show signs of improving your weakness and rounding out your game.

Suddenly seems like a great position to be in.

Us having a lot of talent means that we can either take BPA or see what people are willing to send us in exchange.



Hell of a change from selling off picks for cash or trading picks for questionable talent like Asik.

BSS is effectively where it came from.

Griffin gonna mess around and still get Ja at 4, while the Knicks and Grizzlies are still gonna suck



Yes.
Just because espn says Ja is #2 and Barrett is #3, doesn’t mean it’s so.

Also you have to factor in some other front offices making some serious blunders.

That’s why they suck so bad to begin with.

I’m all in on Griffin making the right moves.

Garland must have an amazing agent to be getting all these leaks about how impressive he is.

Not saying it could happen, but it could, only because ever draft in any sport, there's always the "holy cow, did they just take THAT guy". For teams that are perpetually in the lottery, mabye their FO's don't make the best decisions, you know.

It’s some a-hole who used to hustle bootleg jerseys out of his trunk.

No way do I trade this pick. If one of the top 3 falls we take them, but garland is extremely good. Something would seriously have to blow me away and 8/10 is not enough.

I'm kinda hoping we trade back with Phoenix or Chicago and pick their first next year, ala Atlanta last year.

Well well well. I hear Boston wants #4. If only there was someone on their roster that we covet

I've seen this asked before today, but have we even worked out any of the top guys? Is it possible we have in secret?
