1-4 picks are basically: Flagged, Harper, Bailey and Edgecomb in some order.
Who should we pick at #5?

My pick is Maluach.
We need a skilled 5 in today’s NBA.
He finish dunks, blocks shots, hit 3s and make plays.
Basically a quadruple threat.
I think he has Embiid potential.
He could be the dark-horse diamond in the rough pick imo.

Bailey and VJ are not locks at #3 and #4 AT ALL. Ace or VJ falling to like 7 or 8 could happen, both have huge flaws.
He is closer to Azubuike than Embiid my G.
The thing that makes them not locks is mostly becasue there might be a lot of trade action seeing as the top 3 teams are all playoff teams next year.
Is this the first time in NBA history the top 3 picks are all going to projected playoff teams? Probably a hard thing to look up historically as it's mostly subjective who you think is a playoff lock.
Shoots 76.6% free throws so the shooting mechanics is already there.
Well, we already have two young centers and it would be comical to tank the entire season just to add another one. And the rest of them are all below average defenders, which is good. I guess Ainge will probably pick the one with the least defense, so... Tre or Jakucionis?

Maluach is an interesting choice. I see the vision with him and he could develop into a monster player. I also get the feeling he has more to his game that he didn't get to show at Duke. The hands are really questionable sometimes but there is alot to like. If this is the direction, I think you strike while the Walker trade market is hot.
Yeah but offensively do you not see the potential?
Walker as much as i love him is really limited offensively.
I say we trade him and draft a much more multidimensional Maluach.
Getting a #5 pick might be a blessing in disguise as it forces us to look more seriously in Maluach imo.
I genuinely dont. He is at the back end of my board today. Like, in the 20's.
I watched the tourney with a very open mind and wanted to love him. Its hard to disappear at his size but he very much did. He got out rebounded by Tyrese Proctor vs a short HOU team........by 1 rebound.
Proctor had 1 rebound.
