Does Dalllas have protection on the pick they owe us next year? and we have 2 number 1 and 3 number 2?

The pick has as much protection as our parents used when they made us.

OK you win

At this point the draft appears to be broken into 3 different tiers at the top
1 Cade in a tier of his own
2 Suggs, Green, and Mobley- 3 guys who would have clearly all went #1 in 2020 in addition to Cade
3 J Johnson, Boston, Kuminga, Z Williams - all high upside guys but more question marks and wider range of outcomes.

I’m sure it will change over the course of the year but I see 8 guys with star upside broken into those 3 tiers and then a drop off in talent. Basically I’d want a top 4 pick in this draft, or if we aren’t as bad because guys are clicking, I’d at least want to get inside that top 8 if we aren’t a playoff team. Obviously I haven’t seen Green or Kuminga play, just going off the scouting reports for them.

Johnson and Boston have had a little luster taken from their shine if late. They'll have to focus and bring. This isn't last year where Anthony Edwards could have some flaky nights and still get drafted #1. The talent is too deep. Cade and Suggs have brought it every game.

I have a feeling Moses Moody will be at least in the third tier of prospects by the end of the season and potentially the second tier.

Is At. sure that's kid and his wife didn't have an affair with Bernard King or something 😂

We only have two #2s (Charlotte and Detroit). We traded away our own 2nd round pick. The Dallas pick is unprotected.

Thank Phil Jackson for trading our #2 pick regarding Travis Outlaw in 2015.

USC plays a slow tempo so he won’t be scoring 40 but he is so impressive at all facets. He’s super smooth— maybe highest ceiling in draft. He’s a good willing passer great shot blocker and his offensive game is super smooth and advanced. UConn double teamed him one being an nba caliber big. He shuts the lane down on defense like a Marcus Camby great shooting stroke— I mean almost no flaws for 7-1

Dude look super talented, wish he would spend more time on legs day just so he doesnt get hurt

Extremely early wish list but I hope the Knicks get one of Cade, Green, or Sugg with the Knicks pick and one of Clarke, Wilson, or G. Brown with the Mavs pick.

Very happy to have multiple picks in this draft.

Ron Harper Jr had another game for himself last night at Maryland. 27 pts. Rutgers has a team worth watching if you have the Big 10 Network. Their PG Jacob Young is pretty good too. They have this big man Myles Johnson underneath who eat rebounds. A Senior three-pt gunner in Geo Baker, and a 6-6 Freshman PG off the bench in Paul Mulcahy who averaged a triple-double in High School (the first NJ player to do so in 26 years).

Rutgers is 5-0 and has won each game by double digits. They are for real.

Yeah, I'm really impressed with juniors progress. I remember when scouts had him 3/4 stars in highschool.
