This guy encourages the Jazz trade Lauri Markkanen to Houston for Cam Whitmore, #3 pick in 2024 draft (suggests Castle), Houston's 2025 1st round pick, and the Nets 2026 1st round pick.
Interesting, I was told Cody killed it. Didnt know Chomche worked out for Utah.
I’m totally kidding. It was Cody lol.

I’m higher on Walter than consensus. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s high on Utah’s board. Also started off cool on Williams and am coming around on him. So of course he’s rocketing up the mock drafts lol. Also surprised to see Collier falling to the mid 20s in some mocks
Collier seems to have been surpassed by McCain and Carrington as far as PG's go. Then you have Dillingham/Topic falling, who are probably also ranked over him. Just not making teams looking for PG projects who dont have size or skill-set to play off ball or guard up. Then at some point teams start valuing win now players who can help them in the immediate future.
Kind of a boring prospect, but I also think he’s being overlooked a bit.

You’re probably right, but the abject lack of a real ball-mover (and size at guard) is really glaring on this team (especially with our best player not being a creator) and that’s Topic’s bankable/premier skill(s).
Not big on Flip, but if he’s there at 29 then that’s pretty good.
You want to know how bad this draft is? A contender to go 1st overall’s comp is (a plodding version of) Batum.
And KOC’s top prospect’s comp is Andre Iguodala.
Is PHX going to take Bronny over Collier?

I have a hard time imagining he is there at 29 but he would be great value there.
This is a really solid draft but lacks stars. Also the Batum comp is trash. Risacher has Danny Granger written all over him.
Nope. Stop listening to a bunch of idiots and actually use your eyes. He isn't some crazy quick athlete but he isn't slow.

Danny Granger was 6'9" in shoes with a 7'1" wingspan. Risacher is 6'10" in shoes with a negative wingspan - 6'9.5". good luck finding a flattering comparison for risacher who has a negative WS on their in shoes measurement - there simply aren't very many out there. Also, while Granger was nothing special as a vertical athlete, he was quite a bit better than Risacher's 25" standing vert and 31" max vert. Risacher's combination of lack of length and athleticism is such that it is really hard to find flattering comparisons for him because those guys struggle to compete in the league. period.
You are making a mistake if you are buying into those athletic testing numbers. Give the kid a chance to actually train for the combine and you can guarantee that they would go up significantly. All you have to do is watch his tape to see that he has no problem finishing above the rim.
Risacher isn't explosive vertically, but he runs like a deer and is pretty fast for a long wing.
