I'm high on Maxwell Lewis as well. He's showing constant improvement as the season progresses. I'm just concerned that he's playing himself outside our draft range.

I’ve heard some people say not a deep draft. Not the case. Twice as dee as last year. I’m not sure if the Knicks bring 2 picks in but if they do it’s a means to grab salary controlled guys for 4 years . Look at the benefits from keeping our own young players

There’s no sure thing after the top 2, and the lottery is weaker compared to expectations, but I agree there’s decent depth. Wings like Lewis, jones, and I’ll add Hawkins could be good and available in our range.

I’m a big fan. I’ll be surprised if he falls far enough though.

I think we own dallas pick top 10 protection

so with dallas a a tumultuous 24-21 great chance to get an 11-12-13-14 pick

Yeah, one injury away. And Luka regularly misses about 15-20 games a year and he's only missed a handful so far

Heres another interesting player Mike Miles Jr PG TCU 6-2 210 Derrick rose like.. Super strong super fast lead guard. Not on any mocks excellent defender projection late 1 early 2

heres 1 more in depth report on Taveion Kinsey. They shifted him to playing PG most of the game and at 6-5 he can guard 1-3. Only player in college basketball to avg over 20- points and 6 assists, Top college defender with super long arms and high end athletic ability.. Only an average below volume 3 point shooter but very good mid range---comparison to ron harper projection 2nd rd

how to move up........
Package a pick and IQ for a targeted guard. Team that does this views IQ as near the quality of what they can draft but takes the risk out. IQ is IQ.
We have room to take this risk. Im talking about moving up say 5-6 spots to grab a kid FO has high conviction. Can't say who that team is or the player, but this is how it would go.
Draft day type deal.
And we make room for Rokas. Team then has another yoot to develop, Rokas competes for time.
"IQ is indispensable" says Thibs. That too!!!!

Brandon Miller gonna fight for pick 2

Don't see him over taking Scoot or Amen. I think he's cracking top 5 at this rate tho.

No way am I dealing IQ for someone in the draft. Too much uncertainty.

Jalen wilson 38-9

I like his game. He needs to improve his 3pt shooting, but he’s the type of player we could use to generate some offense off the bench.

I see some Josh Hart in his game. I'd look at him with the Mavs pick.

With Mitch missing games our first rounder this draft will be more valuable by the trade deadline. Or for us to draft.
