Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Minny could be the next Denver on DLs list. Could you imagine what Quin and Co could do with Wiggins?

Also, Parsons is akin to Noah's contract. If you recall the trade options to dump Noah included The Unicorn. What can Memphis do if they get rid of $24 million now?

Well, they would be $22 million under the cap of we traded nothing but expiring (which I understand you cannot do anymore). That's enough to be players in a free agent year where there are few spenders.

Is that worth a 4th/21st pick swap? It depends on what other teams are offering. Could we sweeten the deal with a very favorable royce O'Neal contract? Sure.
 
According to Tony Jones:

Five safe bets
Grayson Allen, 6-foot-5 shooting guard, Duke
Strengths: Very good athlete who was a four-year player at Duke. Has been great on the pre-draft workout circuit

Keita Bates-Diop, 6-foot-8 small forward, Ohio State
Strengths: Improved immensely in college. Can play either forward spot. Is a good shooter and defender

Chandler Hutchison, 6-foot-7 shooting guard, Boise State
Strengths: One of the better scorers in the draft. Can get buckets from all three levels, and has nice size for a shooting guard

Jalen Brunson, 6-foot-2 point guard, Villanova
Strengths: Much like his father, Rick, Jalen will probably be a 10-year NBA player. He compares favorably to Toronto point guard Fred Van Vleet

Jerome Robinson, 6-foot-5 shooting guard, Boston College
Strengths: Pure scorer who would fit with the Jazz almost perfectly. He started the pre-draft process as a relative unknown. Now? Don’t be shocked if he is picked in the lottery

Five upside picks
Troy Brown, 6-foot-7 shooting guard, Oregon
Strengths: Will be 18 on draft night. Can play and guard three positions. Shooting has to get a lot better. But, has the potential to be a standout defender

Donte DiVencenzo, 6-foot-5 shooting guard, Villanova
Strengths: Could be the prospect who plays right away, but has upside. Just scratching the surface of his potential. Can play and defend both guard spots. Is a high-level athlete and scorer

Kevin Huerter, 6-foot-7 shooting guard, Maryland
Strengths: Terrific shooter, one of the best in the draft. And is more than a shooter offensively. Is still growing into his body. Has a chance to be a significant offensive talent

De’Anthony Melton, 6-foot-3 shooting guard, USC
Strengths: A high-octane athlete. He’s a sleeper first-round pick. If he becomes a better shooter, watch out. The rest of the skill set is there

Zhaire Smith, 6-foot-5 shooting guard, Texas Tech
Strengths: Is perhaps the best athlete in the draft. He’s such a good athlete that he may go in the lottery, despite the rest of his game needing a ton of development.

Didn't Kostas shut down his workouts? Rumor was that Charlotte gave him a 2nd round promise at #55.

For you conspiracy theorists, would that explain the hiring of Fotis Katsikaris as an assistant?

Kostas is a physical specimen: 6-foot-10 with a 7-foot-2 wingspan and 9-foot-2 standing reach. He could be Fotis' responsibility to develop

I also heard Orlando giving him that same promise too, maybe at 41? But yeah, I'd be on board to in drafting Kostas as well. I mean, DL was there scoping him out too. You can see him in Kostas's workout video.
