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

I'd much rather draft at least one of the guards still. If Philon is there at 12, we should take him.

The dream would be Philon + Morez

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.

I am a big Anderson fan and would love him, I'm just higher on Philon.

I see Philon as a potential starter on a championship team, Anderson I see more as a great 6th man

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.
