I'm not a fan of Clingan, but is he really that conservative a pick? He figures to be a defensive presence with a three-point shot. Is his upside Sengun? Lower or higher? I don't know.
I think that’s how it will breakdown. I hope they give Matas a fair look at 4, but personally would be good with ZR there.
I would go ape if they take the PG at 4 tho. I’m praying WAS reverts to there old ways and take the question pick at 2, in this case Dillingham.

That's pretty good if it happens. Matas' combine numbers are making me a little less anxious about the swing.
Holland's numbers aren't extraordinary but no bad surprises.
Man I’d give our SRP’s plus CHI FRP if he goes down to mid-teens.
there's definitely a chance that Buzelis becomes the better player between him and Risacher. Risacher is more plug and play where Buzelis looks like a player you could develop into an iso scorer and he has that compe ive edge. I still gotta watch more tape.
No way you're burning a #8 pick on Topic now when he's probably out next season and playing at maybe 60% the season after.
Might work out. Might even allow you to use some of those second round picks.
As long as we get Matas and avoid Knecht ...
Can't say I expect Clingan to be much of a shooter, only hit threes at a 25% clip this season.
A Serbian journalist said it's not the knee but the back for topic. Strange https://twitter.com/LjubomirovicM/st...29776532885667
Oh wow, was it that bad? Didn’t realize they’ve announced he’d be out next season. Yeah that changes the equation.
Washington has to take BPA. That roster is the biggest blank slate in the league. They are tearing it down to the studs. If they give the slightest consideration for anybody on their current roster, then they are the dumbest front office in the league. The only thing with any value on that team is Coulibaly and to a lesser extent, Avdija. Jordan Poole is hot garbage on the worst contract in the league. Kyle Kuzma is trade bait, and nothing more. Kispert is something worth monitoring. That team needs literally everything.
If Sarr is gone, I think they take Risacher. He's a swing for the fences. They have to take a swing for the fences. They just do.
Would you take him #8? I'd love to move into the late first and take him but definitely not at 8 nor anywhere above the 20s.
Why wouldn't Topic pull out of the draft if he isn't going to be a lottery pick anymore.
Topic was very much a Wizards-esque pick tbh. I think this boost the possibility of them going Dillingham/Clingan/Risacher.
I really hope it's Clingan. They might be an interesting trade up partner now as well if they're sending out signals to the Spurs that they're going after their target.
One of Dillingham and Risacher should be available at #4 but now I think you have to take Dilly if he's there. He's not making it to #8 with Topic's injury.
One can only pray.
But that's the million dollar question. Who is the best player available at pick 2?
There is no shortage of answers.
I know I'm in the minority, we'll just have to wait and see who's right. However...
He's had a hand injury in the middle of the season and came bck with a Colorado team rolling, not easy to find his spot for a freshman.
He's shown great feel for the game especially on the defensive end, his wingspan allows him to cut lanes and great versatility and mobility on offense
I'm not worried about his shot, it's not awful to start with and it's a skill you can work on
He has too many things you can't teach
Because, in this draft, he may still be a lottery pick. (And even that's assuming it's an ACL which hasn't been confirmed yet.)
Looked like ACL at first and was a non-contact injury where he had to be helped off the floor by two other people. But a tweet posted above said it was his back not his knee. No idea the credibility of the tweet. So a big ???? right now, which I guess is better than an ACL tear which costs you a season.
Possible trade-up candidate: Risacher (at 2)
Most likely pick at 4: Buzelis, Sheppard
Possible pick at 4: Dillingham, Topic (pending diagnosis)
Most likely pick at 8: Dillingham, Topic (pending diagnosis), Salaun
Possible pick at 8: Castle, Holland, Williams, Carrington
you mean like denver did?
I would be very happy if we were able to get Holland and Castle, no matter who comes first. In the 2nd, I would really like Dillon Jones and Tristen Newton.
Castle and Newton can both play PG and know how to win Championships. Holland is an athletic freak. Jones is a Swiss Army knife. Now, this would mean we didn't draft any bigs, but we still have 4-5 bags under contract already.
the closest comparison to Sheppards measurements I found are those from Kyrie Irving. Height w/o shoes 6‘1.75“, wingspan 6‘4.0“, weight 191. (Ky was not in top shape though. 10.2% body fat)
Bizarre if it's his back, because the images suggested his knee buckled. Maybe he strained to keep weight off the knee and hurt his back? If so, that's probably good news.
