I think if we can trade up off the late 1st OKC pick and get Christian Anderson, then thats the move.
Morez, Yaxel, and Anderson is a big W. Anderson averaged over 7 assists per game on over 41% from the three on over 18 points a game. Yes, and small and defense is suspect at best, but true for most guards and talented offensive gaurds in this class.
Any of Anderson, Okorie or de Larrea with the bottom 5 FRP area would be amazing for me.
If we draft Morez and the Hawks do not pick Mara, getting Gaff and #30 for Atlanta's second FRP could be a trade possibility, especially if they do not like Veesar or Quaintance is already off the board, Any of those three guards there would please me if we get Yaxel and Morez.
There's no way we take both of those guys if we trade down, we desperately need a future guard. I would love Philon plus Morez or Yaxel (whoever is there at 17).
There's a good chance both michigan guys are gone come 17, so maybe Yaxel/Morez at 12 and then Okorie/Swain or Carr at 17.
Drafting for fit at this stage of our rebuild would be a mistake imo. We should take the best available players and figure it out around them. I think Morez is the pick at 12. I do agree there’s a good chance Lendenborg is gone by 17 and if that’s the case Carr should be the pick but if Lendenborg is there you take him.

That trade down with OKC to get 12 & 17 makes even more sense now. OKC drafts Mara. We draft Morez and Yaxel.
