Miller is super raw and not a good shooter, but man that ball-handling/versatile skill-set at 6’10 is so intriguing, would be an interesting fit for us in the frontcourt.
Is Kihei Clark expected to be drafted? He’s a tiny point guard who isn’t great at anything and is already 23 years old.
We need size since rob and Bron will be dumb and let rui go just to get kyrie
Don’t know any of these guys but plz no small guards
Leonard Miller is interesting. He would be an odd fit tho imo.
Maxwell Lewis is actually a good fit and might be decent for the 17th but there was a post showing that he basically choked badly against every good team so I would be cautious with him. He does have 3nD potential tho.
So excited to build our team up! Hopefully, some continuity as well.
Pelicans fans when they expected Wemby and the title but end up missing the playoffs and getting the 14th pick:
I’m sold on Leonard Miller. His shooting isn’t good but he has solid/smooth mechanics. His ceiling is really high but is also capable of being a rotation piece immediately.
No Jett?
Always rated them…. having said that, I’m going to search some YouTube comp video to watch for the first time
DaRon Holmes is intriguing, flashes of defensive versatility. Good rebounding and energy. Dont know how good he will be on offense in the big leagues

We’re going to nail that draft pick.
Livingston has boatloads of potential but he’s incredibly undeveloped at this point. His low numbers at Kentucky aren’t from not playing. He was out there. Maybe with the 47th
Lakers scouting department is so good that teams would trade not for picks, but for consulting if it was possible lol.
Props to Clark’s agent for getting him workouts. He is nowhere near a NBA player
These are trade assets. We are not doing a rebuild, we already have a younger team now and we are in win now mode.
