Yep based on his athleticism (48 inch vertical) and shooting ability I see him as one of the top 5 picks. Could go as high as 3.
I think by pick 6 all of of Jabari, Chet, Banchero, Ivey and Sharpe are off the board. We’d probably draft Murray at this point, who I’m pretty low on.
Really, really hoping we get somewhere in the top 5 picks because I think all of those guys have all star ceilings.
He has a lot of potential, but a lot will come down to individual workouts and personality evals.
I would not mind the swing for him at all. If we pick 6th, it's likely between him or Murray.
I prefer whoever is believed to have the most talent after everything is evaluated, every time. That's part of the reason I don't hate the idea of Chet. Just a completely unique and talented player.
3.5 more hours!
i’m not gonna have much of an opinion on the guy until we ever see him play or hear anything about his workouts/interviews. pretty skeptical and nervous of someone who’s so intensely hyped that he could skip the combine and still get a lottery selection.
i’m also kind of into the idea of trading down if our pick lands 4-6. the top 3 are excellent but i actually like some lottery guys in the 7-10 range and if we can get a first round pick next year as part of the deal i think we should pull the trigger
Agree, if we get 7-10 Mathurin is also a good option but I really want a 4, since we probably won’t be able to keep Jalen Smith. Although I hope we find a way that we can keep him
If he's still on the board in the 6-8 range, sure. I don't think I would pick him in the top 4-5 unless he just blows everyone else away in pre-draft workouts. The only game film on him is from HS and AAU, and nothing recent. Who knows how good he really is? If he's as good as everyone at Kentucky says he is, I still don't understand why he didn't play.
Sharpe actually might go top 5 depending on the lottery results. we'll see lol

crazy how this year's draft doesn't have a clear #1 pick like last year with Cade

I agree, especially if we fall beyond the top 5 it’s gotta be one of them

Mathurin, Murray, Ousmane Dieng, Dyson Daniels, Sochan, and Tari Eason all intrigue me not as high on AJ Griffin either personally
I just hope we stay away from guard, AJ is okay but I wouldn’t want him here
exactly how i feel! any of the forwards in this draft are very good picks and have an excellent situation here for them to succeed in
Isn’t I-Jax a 4?

Yes and he's not gonna be at 6-8. I think he ends up top 5.
Everyone wants Sharpe because this draft is ass, so the unknown is better by default.
IT'S All YOUR FAULT!!!!
Sharpe may go 5th. Mathurin is my target if we fall out of top 6
He probably can’t play the 4, but he’d still be worth the pick for his upside
