Hawks win lottery-DC real chance at going #1

Edey just has a bigger head and maybe a bit longer neck I think, hence the reach being about the same vs the small height difference

Doesn't seem like that statement reflects poorly on anyone. We, rightfully, had championship aspirations so there's stuff he's capable of that wasn't in the scope of his role. We didn't ask him to be the primary ballhandler or get us into our offense very often and that's a part of his game that everyone including Hurley will expect him to showcase more at the next level.

Yeah, I'm not really concerned about future top 10 recruits interpreting the statement of an imminent lottery pick as suggesting "top guys don't get to showcase their talents and improve their draft stock at UConn."

7'3.75" without shoes. 2 inches taller than Clingan. Edey had a bigger wingspan, but they actually have the same standing reach.

How can they have the same standing reach if Edey is taller and with a longer wingspan? Do his arms start lower? lol

That said, I'm kind of impressed that both guys measured, without shoes, within a quarter inch of their listed heights. They are actually that tall.

Literally the only talk of DC going to San Antonio I've read ... has been on this board.

It seems San Antonio is going for a guard. I would expect Dillingham to go there. He can be an explosive offensive player while Wembanyama covers up his defensive short comings. I would think at 8 they would even possibly take castle.

I think SC would be highly thought of for any team trying to trade up to 3-6. He represents great defense, great ceiling and impeccable character. Might have to be a “game time” trade initiated by a class team who knows talent.

Houston and San Antonio are wildcards, but if SC is available at 5 I could see a team make Detroit a sweet deal to get SC.

DC, on the other hand, will be gone by the 3rd pick.

Wow UConn bb has come a long way in last 4 years.

We don't know when DC or Castle will be picked. I've seen Clingan last as late as 9th. They'll both be in the lottery. Consensus Mock Draft: Alex Sarr emerges atop field after Lottery | NBA.com

I think Shepherd is a good player, but I'm not convinced he'd go top 5. It's a really weird draft. There are probably some future stars in the draft, but I doubt we know who they are. One reason I could see Castle moving up is that he probably has higher potential star capability than most of these guys.
