If we go the draft and stash route, I would like Dario Saric.  Looks like the real deal and has 6-10 length as well as the ability to play SF.  He looks like the Giannis Adetekunbo of this year's draft.

Saric isn't the Giannis of this draft.  Giannis is all potential - Saric is the MVP of a real basketball league at 19.  The Adriatic League is of course not as competitive as the NBA by any stretch, but it's produced plenty of NBA players and it's not exactly a walk in the park.  It's right up there with Spain and France and to be as successful as he is at a young age there is a really good sign.

Giannis should have been the C's pick over Olynyk. The potential he has is amazing. If Saric has even close to the ceiling that he had he would be 6th in this draft not being talked about as the 18th pick. If he somehow slides then take him.

Giannis is another Anthony Randolph until proven otherwise

If Saric were coming to the NBA this year he would be talked about with the 6th/7th position.

The Spicy Garlic Parmesean from Buffalo Wild Wings.....just my favorite wing.


Oh basketball players, best available. Prefer Warren or Hood though Stauskas might be better than both but probably unavailable at #18

James Young...I hope he drops a couple of slots.  Kid can play.

If James Young is still there at 18 I'd take him in a second.  I've mentioned elsewhere that it wouldn't surprise me at all if he ends up the best NBA player of that entire Kentucky lot.

Yes, I agree.  The kid is going to be really good.

Agreed.

I've had my eyes on Young all season. One of the highest ceilings out of the top 8 IMO.

I don't think he's quite ready to be a starter at all though as I've seen some people suggest.
