... KO is not a dead eye knock down shooter at this point. 


Pretty dam' good. In a league where shooting .400 from three is the gold standard, Kelly's .433 is in some fine company: he's 10th in the league, and .005 separates him from #7.

 What type of player? An awesome one.  More specific?

 We need Ben Simmons, then Brandon Ingram, Jakob Poeltl, Diamond Stone, and Buddy Hield.

 I would trade all the Brooklyn picks for those five guys honestly.

We should be targeting everyone who is a clear upgrade at the 4 and 5. Opposing teams attack our paint too much because we have no one that is going to block their shot. AB, Crowder and IT are the guys we have that play consistantly. Smart and KO are getting there. the hole is clearly the 5 and 4.

 Kelly
 Simmons
 Ingram
 Crowder
 Smart

 This team would be nasty in no time. It would be so fun to watch. Crowder is out of position but who cares.

Talent. We really can't be too selective, because we are so starved for any talent whatsoever. We should be mindful of ball-handler minutes though, because Smart clearly needs more reps at the Point.

 Max, that is the last thing I need to here but your right. Four guys in the roster 6'3" and shorter and we need more ball handling? That bothers me.

I would agree with that.  We need a really good player on this team like Kevin Love or draft someone or Cousins. I don't see Boogie moving now though. Maybe someone under the radar but what we need is a superstar.

In order of needs:

1)  A true star, not matter the position.  The only requirement is this star can not be towards the end of his star shine.



Then you deal with position of needs:

2)  A true C.

3)  An outside sniper.

4)  A guard with size.
