I think Tyler Kolek is one of the most underrated players in this draft. I have him pretty high on my board.

Played collage basketball for Kentucky

Just wondering here if Danny and Zanik have their final draft board ready yet. I’d love to see them be able to move up and snatch Reed Sheppard for us. The kid seems brimming with potential and has already put up historical shooting numbers. I just read a good quote where Rajon Rondo (who...

Jaylen Brown delivered again.

Yes, they should've. Jrue is one of my favorite players in the NBA. The definition of a team player. Hardly ever fails to make a right play for his team.

I’ve been in Sexton’s corner ever since he put the Jazz jersey on. But I never thought he could be a starter on our next contending team. Would any of the top contenders play Sexton as a starter? Boston? Denver? Thunder? Mavericks? Timberwolves? They wouldn’t. He is limited as a point guard, not...

Agreed. And Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday were terrific defensively last night. They been the best Boston players throughout the playoffs.

I also like Josh Giddey quite a bit. Still young, lots of potential.

Is this pic real? Lauri looks huge in it.

Obviously these things are always a matter of taste. For me, I like the black best.

Good thread. I think Danny ideally wants to trade for 25–27-year-old players (he said “six- or seven-year veterans” and “1 or 2 stars” in his post-season presser) who can still get better, who would be easy to move if needed, and who are a good fit with Lauri (are good playmakers). From your...

Trading for LaVine and his awful contract is a scary thought. He’s not a team player, never has been. If he deserved his contract, the Bulls would keep him or been able trade him at the trade deadline. My friends in Chicago think he’d be the worst possible player to pair with Lauri. I agree.

Good stuff again guys. Now Danny, move up go grab Reed Sheppard for us.

Creative trade idea. I’d love to get LaMelo. Would be terrific fit with Lauri. And if Lonzo could get healthy, that would be something. I can’t imagine the Hornets give up LaMelo though.

Good article. “The draft, we know, is always a crapshoot,” said one longtime Eastern Conference scout. “Is it clear cut? Never.” And yet, Morey said, all the volatility is “very good for the league,” and perhaps one of the reasons for this modern age of parity. If teams can get stars like...
