I was hoping Langford was a gamble that his injured hand was the reason he couldn’t shoot.
But those guys could still be moved. Their salaries plus the French bum can still take on a big salary.
In the draft this year I swing big.
Poku at 14. He’s a stash though.
You still got 2 late firsts and a second to find contributors.
Really want Paul reed in round 2.
This team needs to get more shooting. Stretch 4 is probably the best fit but there are other options too.
I like Cole Anthony in this draft as a Wannamaker replacement if available. He is an electric player when he's hot. He was dealt a tough hand at UNC this year.. but that finishing ability is BAD. I think his score-first mentality as a guard compliments Brad's egalitarian style. We dont really need a traditional PG.
Also like Kira Lewis. He's only 19 until December I believe. Younger than most freshman prospects despite 2 years in college. Shoots well. Really quick. The TOs are the big concern.
Not sold on Poku. He is super soft and has a terrible frame. Bad decision making in a bad league. But he COULD end up an all star. So if you want to swing big he's your man.
I also like Bey. Decent enough as ballhandler and defender. He'll struggle athletically but I think he's passable. Hard for me to think of turning down a 6'7 volume 45% shooter.
Wouldn't mind precious as a Theis protege either. He could be fine as an athletic finisher and defender. If the staff thinks they could get him to 35% on catch n shoots in 2 years it would be worth it.
