    I’d be ok with the hated one: Grayson Allen.

    Alright with Huerter off now, I'm looking at De'Anthony Melton and Robert Williams.

    David Robinson on Lonnie going to the Spurs: “You’re going to a good group of guys and they’re gonna support you.”

    It's too late to trade up now. Three picks it is.

    Keita Bates-Diop on the board still too.

    Hoping now for one of Robert Williams and Mitchell Robinson, one of Jacob Evans, Rawle Alkins, and Khyri Thomas, and one of Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, De'Anthony Melton, and Jalen Brunson.

    Yeah, I’ve liked him for years, but it seemed to me like we weren’t interested in taking guys any shorter than Josh Hart size. Guy is a 6’1 shooting guard.

    I like him too but I'd rather try and get a specialist at this point of the draft. Melton is that kind of guy on defense. raw on offense but our player development coaches have done well recently. Plus he's changed his shot with Drew Hanlen

    That's where I landed on him, at #25 at least.

    Looks like there's a chance he, Robert WIlliams, and De'Anthony Melton will be there.

    I like Melton a lot. If Robert Williams keeps sliding, that's a no brainer to me at #25 though. That size and athleticism? He might start right away.

    Thank God. I was starting to worry about that.

    I’m biased here, I hate USC, so I don’t have anything to say on Melton.
