Sllim Pickens Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texansfan713 Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 (edited) 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. Edited June 6 by Texansfan713 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

Texansfan713 Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 Nikola Topic has a partially torn ACL. He might partially be out the top 10 now unless the Spurs take him at 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texansfan713 Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
