I think I would trade anybody on the team besides Gobert in a deal for Russell.

That's how good he is.

I don't know about that. I like Russell too, but I think you are under valuing Hayward and Favors. Both are turning into fine 2 way players. It would be too much of a risk to trade one of those 2 for him. Certainly not both, which I've heard a few times around here.
 
I think I'm gonna be happy if we drafted Turner or Frank. Those are my preferences around that range. I'd go Turner over Frank. Mostly because Turner has a higher upside, but Frank could help us now, which is attractive.
 
Don't act like I'm talking crazy some people on this board talked about Favors & #12 for #2.

I agree. I know it doesn't mean much but Texas players drafted in the lottery have been productive. Aldridge, Durant, Thompson. Augustin had underwhelmed, but it doesn't hurt that the bigs have been good.

I wouldn't trade both. It would be hard to trade one, but you would have to consider it.

We aren't drafting a corner of the franchise at #12, we are looking for a solid bench guy that can add something that our really good bigs perhaps cannot in a pinch.

So bench bigs don't have to play defense? Oh ok, I didn't understand that.
 
Turner is one of the few guys projected near our spot that I'd be disappointed with. Pls don't darft.
 
Since we've started with the lists, here's mine about 3 weeks before the draft:

1. Karl-Anthony Towns
2. D'Angelo Russell
3. Emanuel Mudiay
4. Jahlil Okafor
5. Mario Hezonja
6. Justise Winslow
7. Kristaps Porzingis
8. Willie Cauley-Stein
9. Stanley Johnson
10. Myles Turner*
11. Kelly Oubre Jr
12. Kevon Looney*
13. Devin Booker
14. Bobby Portis
15. Frank Kaminsky
16. R.J. Hunter
17. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
18. Sam Dekker
19. Trey Lyles
20. Montrezl Harrell

1-8 ecstatic if we land any of them at 12
9-12 I'd be very happy with
13-17 I'd be OK with
18-20... meh, kinda don't like...

*those assume that both Looney and Turner are medically cleared and there are no concerns for their long-term health.

Second round wishlist: Jarell Martin, J.P. Tokoto , Richaun Holmes, George De Paula, Timothe Luwawu, Alpha Kaba, Marc Garcia, Cedi Osman, Aleksandar Vezenkov - a ton of stash players mainly...
