Rummaging around hoopshype rumors
- Hornets locked in Wiseman
- Raptors workout Dotson
- Heat interested in Kira Lewis Jr.
- Knicks willing to take on a bad contract for asset/picks
Our turn to steal Heat target and draft Kira 14.
I'd be happy with Lewis. Excellent court vision, very fast, decent shooter and solid defensive potential.
Lewis is my number 3 or 4 point guard in the draft. His speed is elite. Elite skills are good to gather.
I have Haliburton as #1. - Elite passing, excellent shooting, elite size
Hayes as #2 - not a great defender or shooter yet but lots of potential
Then its Kira lewis or RJ hampton. RJ, if you buy the hype from Penny and Mike Miller, is shooting the ball way better. His speed and defense and athleticism with the ability to shoot makes him an allstar calibre player.
Lewis, as mentioned, is crazy fast, very good shooter and is an excellent defender.
All 4 potential replacements for Kemba at some point. Some sooner than others.
eddit: Forgot to add Riller. He is flying up the draft board. Really like him alot too. His scoring potential is elite. Also a very good defender.
For pick 14 I would personally put Riller above Lewis and RJ. Only PGs I would pick ahead of him in the draft are Haliburton and Hayes.
