Is it any further than the Twins? Also consider GG is nearly 2 years (off by a month) younger than the Twins.

The twins kinda terrify me. I would be scared to draft them, especially Amen. I HATE their age and competition combination. Not sure there’s a league lower than OTE that isn’t AAU/HS. They are essentially men thumping on children since the league is specifically for 16-20 year olds.
 
If they decide to leave, I wish them well but I am fine with losing JC and THT. I would have liked getting some assets for JC but he is in his 30s now so his timeline doesn't really fit. I think Kris Dunn can give us what THT gives us. I hope they have an idea what they are going to do before the draft.

Without seeing who else is available on the surface I would like that.

His top 8 were Wemby, Scoot, Amen, Miller, Walker, Whitmore, Hendricks, Ausar. Jazz took Black (9). Dallas took Wallace (10). Magic took Dick (11), OKC took Lively (12). Raptors took JHS (13). Pels took Hawkins (14). Hawks took Keyonte (15).

That would be a whole draft of “upside swing”.

Honestly I think Sidy would be the only one able to really contribute in any fashion, right away, out of that group.

True...it hurts to say but Sidy is way more aggressive and confident... why is being young and inexperienced so difficult for some players..?

I don’t think GG lacks confidence at all, I just don’t see him being NBA ready for awhile.

I’ve gone every direction on Black that I don’t know what to think right now. I def don’t see him running the point for us in his rookie season. Maybe some minutes as a secondary ball handler/defender but would likely need to be paired with KO if he’s still around and not WK.

This is the type of draft that really could lead to us being worse next season and losing more games, like Locke has discussed. Those guys are all going to need a lot of development.

I mean that's going to be the case for any trio of rookies we draft if we want that (as in playing them a good amount of minutes) unless we luck out and get a Donovan Mitchell type who is ready right away from out of nowhere.

I think Black would help… might only play 15-20 minutes though. Doubt GG will play that much… Sidy gets 10-15minutes. IDK if it will be that bad.

Nah… rookies don’t have to murder your team and they don’t have to be AS quality year one either. Lots of rookies played roles this year and helped teams. If they suck bad they won’t play… we may end up worse but it won’t be by much.
