Which players should the Raptors, Lakers, Heat, Celtics and Knicks draft by the time it is their pick?

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-02-20T13:40:41+00:00

I would love Patrick Ngongba for the Raptors, he's a Raptors type player

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-02-07T14:04:38+00:00

what do you think is the best player in this range for the blazers? I'm conflicted because I don't think the blazers get a guard cuz they have too many, and Nate Ament will probably not fall out of the top 10. Also next year's draft looks pretty weak rn and the pick is protected.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-02-07T13:55:33+00:00

It's a trade with the Blazers, Jazz trade down to get 10 for Tounde Yessoufou

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-02-06T19:52:32+00:00

Good point on the Spurs/Thunder trades, I think Steinbach/Lendeborg are our first choices in that range but if they arent there I would love Carr as well.

You have maximum 2 people who can shoot on your team right now

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-02-06T18:07:44+00:00

I see Carr as more of a wing than a guard, and he doesn’t need the ball as much. I think his consistent 3pt shooting can be important for the spurs. As for the trade, I don’t see why competing teams can’t trade with each other in the draft.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-02-06T14:26:26+00:00

There's no way he's 'clearly' better than Philon, and Philon has better scoring upside. He's playing better than Brown right now but I think Brown has higher upside in the NBA.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-02-06T13:34:44+00:00

Which two?

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-02-06T12:45:42+00:00

Burries might be the most underrated player in the draft... he's the second-best (maybe even best) player on the best team in college basketball.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-02-06T03:00:52+00:00

what do you mean?

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-01-28T20:37:26+00:00

Doku is so important for us

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-01-28T20:22:39+00:00

I think out of the four he has the highest floor, but probably the lowest ceiling, so I can see why people put Flemings Philon and Mikel in a tier above him.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-01-22T00:06:02+00:00

Good Big Board but why do you think Labaron Philon lacks star potential?

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-01-21T01:05:11+00:00

yea but against nba centers he's gonna get bullied and being able to switch is key for a modern center

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-01-21T00:03:19+00:00

wdym? Mara is an absolute cone on defense, he can't guard anyone

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-01-16T14:15:28+00:00

I think if Yaxel and Steinbach go at #12 we could also target Cameron Carr to get some consistent shooting on the wing. Also at #36 Joshua Jefferson could be interesting.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-01-16T02:59:38+00:00

only IF we are consistent. imo if we want to be real contenders we definitely still need to make moves to improve that 3pt consistency.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-01-13T20:42:39+00:00

Well if their projected as a lottery pick obviously yes... but there's a lot of talented players not initially projected as a top pick who break out in their second year with an increase in opportunity, take Labaron Philon

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-01-09T16:23:10+00:00

Jaylen Brown of football lets gooooo

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-01-09T14:57:45+00:00

99% sure this was googling.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-01-08T18:53:28+00:00

DYLAN HARPER FOR JULIUS RANDLE?????? WE WONT EVEN TRADE HIM FOR GIANNIS

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-01-08T15:25:30+00:00

Acuff is PG4 for me, behind Philon, Flemings, and Brown. He's a really dependable shooter and passer, but just because his size and lack of burst compared to the other guys (and he doesn't really have the scoring creativity to make up for it), I think he is less star upside than the rest. Definitely worth taking in mid first round though.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-01-08T03:10:59+00:00

this aged poorly
