Hunter/Culver and Clarke & I’d think about it.

I don’t see White or Garland being preferable to the stable of DJS Trier Frank and Allen.

If we want a guard I’d just as soon take a flyer on Jordan Bone who might be around at 55.

RJ has me worried.  he's very young so will take years to develop.  And Knix never patient.  Poor defense and iffy outside shooting needs to improve or he'll definitely be limited.  That vid I linked compared him to DeRozan.  A guy who can score and willed himself to be very good, but with limits. 

Weak defense makes for a bad pairing with Knox.  And Jr. Smith isn't much on defense either.  Franc needs to show some O and aggression this year.  But I'm worried we might be accumulating limited high draft picks.

Again, I'm not a draftnik.  Have seen a bare minimum of anyone in this draft.  But I sure wouldn't mind some two-way players on our roster . . .

Does anyone think thew KNix can be patient with Knox and RJ?

So if we could draft one of Hunter/Culver & one of Garland/Coby White in exchange for RJ (and Jr. Smith), would folks do it?  I  would.

More a hypo since I doubt there's any specific deal that could be worked out.   And likely that would be White since Garland expected to go as high as 4th or 5th.

No.  We don't add Smith to that deal.  He goes separate.

The concerns on Barrett are silly.

Tony Snell is a Piston.  Bucks earn cap space - no first rounder - while taking back Lauer

Please dont lump them together.

But yes.  Patient - as they get on the job training alongside 4-5 other pups and a couple of brave veteran signees.

Re:  "would like to see some 2 way players"

I liked Winslow

But we have to fill the bucket efficiently- whicjh is why I consider the draft Garland, trade DSJ route.

Can we get a top 20 for Dennis?  Gets us a better point, cap room and we can select a defender (2-way) WITH that acquired pick

Garland-Knox-Mitch-Trier-Dot-20th or higher pick (Brandon Clarke may be in that range - as will Matisse Thybulle - best defender in this draft} - second rounder (Tacko Fall?)

2 signees.

Lance.  Frank (if not dealt for another second rounder).  Ellenson (yeah, I'd pick up that option).

Add.

Just unleash Franc and let him play the same role as the Greek Freak!

Dont know about this - but I would like LANCE THOMAS to play a bit more like Mario Hezonja (read:  look for offense)

I think Biz touted Huerter.

Saw him live and fell in love with his heady game. Would trade Knox for him in a heartbreat.

I mean, RJ is going to be first-team all-rookie next year.

It'll help being on a cruddy team and getting the most shots as a rook (if he can handle such).

RJ appears ready for New York.

Mitch is a good player and fan favorite.  He has the easiest road.

Trier is fearless and doesn't seem to let anything negative hurt his game.  In fact it may help.

Kevin Knox had a promising start that allayed the doubters til the end of the year.  But his honeymoon is almost over.  I'm not sure if he can handle boos.

Frank seems entirely too fragile.

Kid from Belmont is a similar player.
