I'm officially on board with drafting the best wing or PG available.
Our bigs are dominant. All 4 have different skill sets and Quin can mix and match to go big or small as needed. Getting a late first or early 2nd just isn't a good enough return for Enes. I say we match on Kanter (since we have cap space) and improve our glaring weakness in the backcourt.

It would be a shame though to miss out on the next Nowitzki (Porzingis) if we decide to go chasing after the next Ben McLemore (Ouuuuuubre).

I find it funny the way some people easily assume that a player in the upcoming draft is the next 'this' or 'that' superstar. If it were that easy and you're guaranteed that say the next Michael Jordan is on the list everyone would make Philly look like the most 'pro win-now' team.

best nickname ever. If he is great, he has to be called super Mario, right?

I think the team that drafts him would have to buy out the final year of his current contract, if I remember correctly.
Stitches or someone would probably know for sure.

Or ****ty Mario if he's a bust.
Ben McLemore?
His situation is a bit weird and I don't know exactly what the terms of his contract are. He has 7 year contract(4 more years after this summer), but according to different sources he either has a player option on his contract this summer, or not. I don't know which one it is(from what I've read it seems like he does have player option and he will be able to join right away without us paying anything). If he doesn't have the player option, the buy-out clause would be 2M euro(2.3M USD)

What's your point? I said it was rare, not unheard of.
And Mario has much better size and and more of an alpha personality.

I agree he is a great prospect but who is he going to bump out of the top 5.
okafor - no
mudiay - no
towns - no
Russell - hell no
Johnson - no
porzingis - no size wins
then you have looney, wcs, oubre, Winslow and turner. he fits better in this group because of his question marks.

Do you watch in other games other then the Jazz? Klay all around game has shoot up bigtime. He went from a good player to one of the top players in the league.

How do you know his personality? You personally know him?

I'd take him over Porz, for sure.
And I'd consider taking him over Johnson (a guy I've pimped a lot). Johnson is a good shooter and athlete, but Mario looks even better in both those categories. He's also been filling out his frame nicely. He's not as big as Johnson, but he's got good size, especially for someone that age. It's close between them, but I think Mario probably has more potential.

Yep, he came to a party and we all met him. He said he was glad you weren't there.
