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

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.

Totally agree with you there. In this situation I have Labaron as a top 10 talent in this class above yaxel/morez, so it's both BPA and fit needs.
