You need a wing scorer but wing can literally be any position sans C. Look at Wiggins too. The Warriors don’t win this without him locking up Tatum. its positionless basketball to a certain extent. There’s a reason there are 5 positions in the league. The court still has to have spacing. You can’t just have a ton of tall guys or a ton of short guys. You’ve still got to guard players with certain skill sets. if you don’t want to call it SF then so be it. But you need an athletic long player to guard all these guys who do play SF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eason has a lot of work to do if he's going to play primarily on the wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense would still be lacking with any line up but that’s why you bring in Brown as HC. Definitely doesn’t make us a playoff team in the near or distant future unless some serious player development happens. I'm not sure that there's any move that you can make with the #4 pick that puts you in contention to make the playoffs next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ain’t saying Eason is that, but we have to find someone to guard this wing players on the perimeter. Eason has a better shot to do that than the 2 guards in this draft.

beekay414 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I wonder if Chet Holmgren has a condition he doesn't want anyone to know about. He passed on the cardiovascular tests and isn't releasing his medicals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was misreported and he actually gave his medicals to some teams but not others so he's probably try to force his way somewhere. If the Thunder didn't get them I wouldn't be surprised if they go Ivey or Sharpe at #2. Edited June 17, 2022 by NYRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some mention Marfan Syndrome. Not saying he has it but his body structure kinda makes me consider it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving #4 for one star player or a handful of plus role players still doesn’t get the job done. Hopefully the kings understand this as well, as much as “playoffs or bust” sounds good to tell fans, if it comes at the expense of our future we’re spinning our wheels. Either take Murray/Ivey or make a trade for a third piece young enough to grow with Fox and Ox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistons add Ivey at 4, maybe use Barnes, Holmes to go get Ayton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Just take Ivey and don't think twice about it. Don't let Davion Mitchell keep you from taking a potential superstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
