#4 Jaylen Brown:
- I was a bit disappointed in what I saw in Jaylen Brown in the Tournament, and I really think his stock will drop, but I can't shake this thing in my head that he'll be really, really good. Ultra athletic, young, has size and length. There's a lot of really good raw materials in there to mold him into I think a bigger DeMar DeRozan who can defend (I really think so). I'd take Buddy Hield if Brown isn't available anymore and he is.
- Denzel Valentine or trade:
For our earliest mid round pick, I would like us to draft Denzel Valentine. If we missed out on him, I would like us to just trade those picks for future first AND second rounders. I don't know, outside of Valentine, I'm not sure I would like to take any of the rest of the field and give them guaranteed contracts. I'd rather have re-roll those first rounders in a deeper draft in the future.
- AJ Hammons and/or Carris LeVert
- I would like to use our second round picks on these seniors who are proven college stars. Not a lot of potential in here, but they are players who on paper would fill a need in scoring and interior defending. And, since they are second rounders, they would be very low risks to take.
- Jake Layman
- another second round draft choice I would like to take a flier on. Dude can shoot, and I think he's long and athletic enough to be able to defend decently either Forward positions in the NBA.
