I think we are just following NBA hype. 

Do you really think he is a top 5 talent?  Should we be trading up from 7 for him?

Haliburton

Y'all are finally warming up to my guy.

Can he strengthen up enough to both avoid injuries and not be pushed off spots? Contact is still part of the game and he’s not so quick that it doesn’t matter for him.

I'd trade up for Ball.
Especially if it just cost Franc, Jr. Smith, or maybe even our 2nd rounder.
We've got iffy yute to spare.  Cash some of that in to get who you wnat and what you need.

In a fairly good G draft, I think it'd be  mistake to go with a Big.  Unless someone really turns our heads.  As in you project an all-star.

And from what i'm hearing Ty Stick sounds better than Cole Anthony who is reportedly sloppy and maybe more of a 2 or combo guard than lead.  and streaky on his shot.  Ty sounds more grounded and has better size if he isn't really a PG, and terrific size if he is.

Caveat: I haven't see these cats in any action yet.

I haven't heard any Ty hype except a little here.
Sounds like one of those guys who goes a little low because of an injury, but since this isn't a leg/knee issue it sounds like a good op to get a talented guy a little lower than his true talent spot.

You have read from me that Cole Anthony has some Trae Young in him - though bigger.  I wonder if you'd take a Young type to run our team.

We already have Haliburton in Payton, I trust.  Lower ceiling than Cole.

But I am with you on Ball.  Undecided between LB and Edwards.

This one has is taking Anthony over Devi.

Also has us passing on both Vassel and Bey with pick 2.

Jay Scrubb is a guy I like as much as that duo - and in the same range

Ty Stick shot 41% on 3's (with a somewhat funky release).
Elf can't shoot 'em.

Ty can shoot and defend.  Our two primary weaknesses, especially at G.

Concerns about Cole's D and distributing.  So if he can't bomb it in and catch fire like Trae than he could be backup material.  Me no risk it.

Caveat: tomorrow I watch some film of these guys so I know somewhat what I'm talking about.  Scouts give a good amount of info.  And I go with them for now.

There was one mock that had us a picking a Scrubb with the #25 pick.  Made me laugh.

It's like when the Lakers drafted a guy named Chukwudiebere Maduabum in the 2nd round, and I thought: Never draft a guy with "bum" in his name.

Cole Anthony a backup?

Please.

Seems Ty is SHY unless its a 3.  Not what I am looking for in a lead guard.

Well, if you take Trae Young minus the passing ability and with a more erratic shot, you basically get Coby White (#7 pick last year).  Who started all of 1 game ...

All 3 are explosive players.  Anthony as highly touted as the other 2.  NYC point guard legends are usually looked at more favorably here - excepting Telfair of course.
