Again we have like 3 to 4 guys on our team like that. I don’t know if we have the time to wait to develop those guys. If they have to develop, Willie wont give them court tjme to do that. I agree with your point but we dont gave playing time to wait for them to develop shooting.

Bufkin is my main guy. When his role expanded once Howard got hurt he really shined. Was a 50/40/90 player the last 6 weeks of the season. Plays really good defense. Shot 70% under the rim which is ridiculous for a guard. Will he be there at 14 tho idk.

I wonder who are the Pels targets at 14? Normally, it’s leaked it out by now.

If you ask the local reportees they mentioned Lively, Dick and Hawkins a lot. Not sure if those are actual leaks or opinions.

Ive also heard about Coulibaly as well. But I think all these guys might be gone except maybe Hawkins who I dont like.

Give me bufkin all day over JHS. I got this feeling Gradey Dick is going to fall in our laps. I keep hearing guys like lively, bufkin, bilal are moving up, I think gradey could be the one who slides

I’d be satisfied with Cason Wallace, Bufkin, Dick, or Lively, even Jordan Hawkins. I kind of like what’s there at 14.

I like Wallace a lot. Honestly think he’ll be a steal if he slips out of top ten.

I think so too. If Grady is there you run and announce his name. Can you imagine the space with him and Trey in corners??!!!

I don't think he will be there but I agree he would be a good pick. I just think if Bufkin is gone you're compromising somewhere with your pick at 14

Nobody we draft at 14 is a lock for rotational playing time with the team as currently constructed except MAYBE Grady Dick or Lively. Developing can happen at practice and in the G League as well

It sounds like you're in favor of a trade using 14, which is cool...just not really the point of this thread lol

yeah I don’t doubt that. Someone’s gonna drop tho. Gradey Dick could very well fall to 14. One of Bufkin, Lively, Dick, Coulibaly should be there

Day 1 Cason Wallace would garner more minutes than Alvarado and Kira

Yeah if we do pick at 14 I would say Dick. If we’re looking at our team and what we need- Its guys that can step in and at least make a dent in the rotation. If not I agree, trade down pick up guys you can develop later or just trade out- which something tells me if 1 or 2 guys are not there, they likely will.

This is the year I feel the least comfortable in the Griffin era predicting.

We all kinda knew the interest in Kira, Trey, and Dyson.

None of us have a single clue this year

I don't know about that. People really are forgetting about how good Jose is. Kira shouldn't even be in the same sentence.

Because of all the Scoot drama. It also could mean they could be shopping the pick. Honestly wouldnt mind Capella from Hawks- although im sure his contract may be an issue.

I honestly think Kira will be traded at some point. Jose is miles better and he just hasn’t developed as hoped.

That being said I really like Wallace and gives us something different than Jose. If we cant get Scoot, Wallace again could be a steal.
