Whatevs. I've already said if we kept the pick, I'd take one of the top two. My recommendation or "bold" plan was to trade down to get Bender and additional assets assuming we were using max slots on a C and SF If I'm trolling, I suck.
I don't think so, but also no longer think we should trade down. Both top picks appear to be keepers.
Here come the first entries from the list: Ante Zizic (27.0 draft position – unlikely to be available) 6'11 240# C 19 years old NBA Comparisons: Fabricio Oberto/Nikoka Pekovic What he does well: scores, rebounds, hustles. What he doesn’t do well: pass, dunk play strong in the post. Question: Any shooting range? Bottom Line: High motor, effective scorer who could carve out a second string career as a big. Sight Test: +Scoring/Rebounding/Motor Way too early stat thoughts: 6 seasons, 20 MPG, 8 pts/5.5 boards, 54% FGs Do I want him? Yeah, he could be a good fit. Caris Levert (27.0 draft position – unlikely to be available) 6'7" 190 SG 21 years old NBA Comparisons: Jamal Crawford / Jeremy Lamb What he does well: shoots (catch and shoot), willing passer, good handles What he doesn’t do well: He’s weak and frail, seems like he needs the ball to be effective Question: Can he stay healthy? Bottom Line: Could be a Kevin Martin-type player. Way too early stat thoughts: 10 seasons, 24 MPG, 11 points per game Do I want him? We could end up loaded at wing, but his shooting is tantalizing.
