1. I’d cry if we passed on Reed Sheppard

2. No way collier falls that far unless there’s an injury concern.

3. Give me whoever has the best scoring ability. I don’t want to hear the word “wingspan” ever again.

4. Collier at 17 and Klintman at 31 would be epic. Matas I’m not sure of just because the Ignite guys are so hard to evaluate.

5. I have no idea about anyone in this draft, yes please, give us another Lithuanian!

6. Just keeping our top pick would be a massive win. Seems to be a coin flip right now.

7. who else is considered to go top 6? matas seems solid but idk i kinda want higher upside player

8. Solid mock draft for us, but I’d prefer Devin Carter over Collier tbh. One problem I have with Matas though is that no one seems to actually know how tall he is. This mock draft’s got him at 6’11”, the NBA G-League has him at 6’10, some say he’s 6’9.25.

9. Bobi Klintman, that’s that awkward podcast girl right

10. Someone PLEASE sell me on Buzelis. The G league Ignite is a failed club, the G league hasn’t proven SHIT to backup people always using the “grOwN mEn” line, and Buzelis himself is touted as a potential three level scorer while having none of the counting stats to back it up, nor did he look impactful through the eye test from what terrible games I’ve seen. Is this a Gradey Dick thing where a role player struggles in a bad system with bad spacing? 

11. After looking at Matas highlights there’s no way he’s falling to 6

12. I would prob nut I won’t lie. Buzelis and collier are guys I have goin to be picked up early like top 10-12.

13. Klintman at 31 would be good, I really like Colliers game, so he’d be great.

14. Project 6’9 forever!

15. I WANT STEPHON CASTLE

16. Buzelis scares me as a prospect but imagine having him at the 4 and Scottie at the 3…

17. I was on the buzelis train but damn ron holland is a special kind of athlete. Jump out the gym athleticism with elite defence.. sign me up

18. I’m good with Matas or Cody Williams for the top 6 pick. If we get either one of them, we’re good. There’s something about Matas and his style of play, you can just tell the talent level is very high. Once he puts on some more muscle he could be a real problem. I also like how many blocks and steals he gets per game. Even just seeing him 1v1 against Cooper Flagg, you could see they were going back and forth and Matas held his own with ease.

19. This would be so awesome

20. Im not too familiar with this draft class but certainly a promising big would be ideal to go with the young talent timeline, if we get solid prospects maybe trade poeltl?
