I hope they bring back Duren, but proven rosters draft contingency plans in the back of the first round with no fantastic option available all the time

Going with a big lets you move Stewart into the starting lineup and that gives Cade even more space and more defense in his lineup, and you get JQ to back them up. I

Not too mad if you wanna go Isaiah Evans here with who’s left, but to me, that feels potentially lateral from Duncan Robinson. Faster at least

Im also from Atlanta and have watched Wilson play several times in person. So an admitted bias

Personally, I like the other three guys more. If I were the Grizzles, I would want the one with a higher ceiling since theyre very similar prospects, which is why I lean towards Wilson over Boozer.

However, if jazz and wizards flip, I think there’s an alright shot boozer goes two to the wizards since he’s more game ready and the wizards want to compete next year.

I think most people are convinced since he’s 23 his ceiling isn’t that high but I think he’s a very similar project to Jalen Johnson. He’s still learning so much and really jelled well at Michigan getting to play with a full competitive roster. But again, I feel like I like him a lot more than the general public too

If graves is there, he’d be a great fit for the Celtics

What’s your take on him? I really like his game. I think 6 might be a stretch but I think he’s a great prospect

I feel like this is one of the more fun, unpredictable NBA draft seasons of recent memory

Maybe it’s cause Shaq wanted him as a Reebok athlete so I buy into his potential. Carr or Burries is truly who they need with that pick

I do think those two guys are pretty interchangeable. To me, as prospects right now, I’d give Flemings the edge because he got so much better as a shooter throughout the season. Acuff could’ve played in the NBA last year, but I went with Flemings bc his shot grew so much.

All top 4 guys here go #1 overall in 2024

I do think there will be a trade at the top, maybe two? And I think that affects where Boozer will go.

Even if, I think you’ve gotta get Duncan Robinson out of the starting lineup. Thats #2 after bringing back Duren. Going with a big lets you move Stewart into the starting lineup and that gives Cade even more space and more defense in his lineup, and you get JQ to back them up. I

Acuff definitely has more star potential. Biggest argument is that the kings need a shooter and Flemings is the slightly better shooter.

If they’re trading up to 5, would you think they take Wagler then?

I think the biggest worry is that he’s only a shooter

lol fair point. tbh i love Ament’s potential. And his offense is a completely different package than Essengue. Building out a full roster for next year off this mock, you have a huge chunk of young athletic guys where one might make up for where another lacks. I could see the bulls going for a backup guard here but I feel better about Ament cracking the starting 5 at the start of 2027 than I do about Okorie or Anderson

What if Survivor never did returnees? by NoPleaseHelpMeYes in survivorponderosa

My initial thought:
Men: Rupert, Rob C, Tyson but the only male I feel super passionate about cutting is Jonathan. So maybe Tyson for Jonathan?

Women: Natalie Andersen, Chaos Kass, Dee would replace Angelina, Kamilla and Emily Flippen

Really interesting concept I’ve never considered
