From everything I have read it would be a shock if Castle drops that far.  

Its so sad that I was meh on Buzelis but at the same time there isn't anyone else there I would fight for.  I'd love to trade down with the Jaxx in this scenario for their two firsts and get Cody Williams and Kyle Filipowski.  But again not sure there is anyone the Jazz would have high enough to make that move.

My 2 worst nightmares

 

Rockets passing on Reed Sheppard and Spurs picking him right after.

Rockets make a dumb trade with the Grizzlies and the Grizzlies select Donovan Clingan at 3.

There is also zero chance the Lakers take Bronny in round 1.  They probably will with the second but they aren't taking him over the guy who started above him and has a much higher ceiling.  Lebron isn't winning them a championship this year so no need to cater to him that much.  They will give Bronny a chance in the G League and bring him up for a game or two but there is zero chance they sacrifice their future for one or two more Lebron years.

Agreed. Absolutely no way that's happening. They might trade up a little earlier in the 2nd to make sure they get him, but he isn't going at #17.

I don't even see that.  He isn't visiting other teams and he isn't even a top 80 prospect at this point.  If Lebron opts out of his deal there is a chance Philly, Orlando or Detroit could draft Bronny to attract Lebron but I don't see it happening.

Yep, that'd be about the worst case scenario for the Pistons(I've very much cooled on Buzelis), which means it's 100% going to happen like this.

I don't think its a worst case scenario but its an uninspiring scenario.  I would much prefer trading for an established player or dropping down to get a couple dart throws. Buzelis isn't horrible as an option, just not one I really am excited for but thats sort of the whole class.

Yea I can still see them taking him at 8. They can take their time with him. It also feels like Castle at 4 is likely.

if the spurs want castle and matas, or if memphis wants clingan i would trade back with them and take knecht. but i'd also trade 5 straight up for like jordan hawkins so what do i know

5 prospects slated to go mid to late round 1, that's could end up being a sleeper and outperform their draft position

 

C Kel'el Ware

PG/SG Devin Carter

PG/SG Carlton Carrington

PF Da'Ron Holmes

PG Tyler Kolek
