So, do you think we take on 2 or 3 rookies? I'm looking at the #35 pick and a couple trade down scenarios.
Yeeeowch.
As I've been asking, how is he that much better than Champagnie. Is he any better than Champagnie?

Any updates on the Topic injury?
Only two, I'd say. I think they're keenly aware of not knowing where they are with Branham, Wesley, and especially Cissoko, and that more rookies are coming in next year.
How does Risacher compare as a prospect with Brandon Miller?
Or Dillingham with Scoot Henderson?
In the name of “continuation” and “building upon last year”, it does feel like inserting two rookies to the starting lineup is counterproductive to that. Maybe they draft two and plug one into the starting lineup and have one off the bench.
Apparently he's going to need a surgery, MCL and meniscus injury.
Wouldn't mind wasting 35th pick on him, but he's done with us as far as 4th and 8th are concerned.
So, you expect us to trade the two 2nds and not use them to move up Dejounte ?
I could see doing something with Portland for their picks or trading 2nds with NY to get their 25th pick.
Brandon Miller blows Risacher out of the water.
Dillingham and Henderson really have pretty different skill-sets. Henderson is a bulky, strong guard who can get into the lane and isn't knocked around. Has a good midrange, and his threat seems to be more within the 3-point line. Not an excellent comp, but is more Tony Parker-like in getting past a defender and causing defensive problems there. Dillingham's attack is much more perimeter-oriented, where he has great range. Is very shifty and uses spins, hesitations, and so on to break down the defender. I feel like Scoot is more of a threat once he gets into the lane, although his finishing is not great. Also feel like Scoot might be a better passer.
The height difference may not be that great, although Henderson is much more built. Scoot isn't exactly great on defense, but may improve.
Someone will pick him in the lottery if he stays in. Wouldn’t be the worst thing to make a pick that won’t help this year, and be bad again for the 2025 draft. His stock won’t be higher next year, and probably will be lower, since he likely won’t play this coming season.
GREAT NEWS!!!!
Great news on Topic.
Givony also says Topic will getting measurements taken June 6 and will be a participant in pre draft workouts.
He’s a good chance with the Wizards at 2 imo. Possibly Spurs at 4 or 8. I can’t see any other team in the top 10 taking him tbh. Maybe the Jazz at 10.
Nah, they’ll still think long and hard about taking him if he’s there at #8.
Also sounds like you’re medical diagnosis is way off per the last tweet.
I’ve soured on Risacher as a wing prospect at 4 or 8. I’d rate both Buzelis and Holland above him, and would love to get one of them to plus a guard. Buzelis would probably need to be taken at 4 but Holland could potentially be had at 8
Topic news is two sided. If he’s back in play, that means we could still take him. I wasn’t a fan before, but he’s developing a history of injuries right before our eyes that makes me even lower on him
Interesting, because the most reliable Serbian site says he's going to need a surgery.
It still gives me pause, I have dropped him down my BB, but I could see a team like Washington taking him ahead of us anyway.
His MCL seems a bit wobbly. Second time it’s put him on the shelf.
I'm not soured on him at all, but I do have Buzelis ahead of him.
I did some research, and since it’s an MCL, the athlete recovery time, if there’s surgery, is 3-6 months. Not like an ACL, apparently.
What is Buzelis' realistic projection? He has so many questions around his game.
Defense, shooting, handles, motor, playmaking, nothing is polished.
If he puts it together he can be a star, but he's could also be out of the league in a couple of years.
Even if he has MCL surgery that’s a significantly better prognosis than ACL.
Topic to Washington at #2 is alive.
Or perhaps to the Spurs at 8
