So if we truly needed a PG let's say, you would say just take two 1st round PGs? Go the Minnesota Timberwolves Johnny Flynn / Ricky Rubio route? Hedge our bets?

There are teams who don't have a list, but have tiers. There is also risk taking /risk aversion. When we drafted Yak, 538 had a chart showing all the players taken before him and quite a few after him had a better chance of being a star. But only 1 player had less of a chance of being a bust.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

If they end up having 3 picks this year, then sure. Draft Edey or any C at 31 or whatever.
The chances of them picking in the top 6 though is still slim. People keeps forgetting that.
If they slip to nominally 7th, then they'd be more like 35% chance to keep it - and 1 in 3 is a lot closer to slim odds but most would still think you a little silly for giving it that label.

I would go BPA at every pick and ignore team need. Especially in today's game positions are very fluid. There will always be a Dennis available you can sign in free agency to fill a need if you feel like you have to.
Rebuilding teams like us can not afford to be choosy by drafting based on need coz we basically need as many good players we possibly can get.
Drafting on needs is reserved for the more established teams.

If they do keep the top 6 then there’s a few players that are interesting, I like Ja’Kobe and Cody Williams so far, still have to do a bunch research.
I like Tyler Smith, Ware, and McCain so far at 15-17
31… who knows right now, DaRon Holmes, Koleck, DaSilva, and Edey all looked good this weekend., starting lineup on Canada Day for sure.

Actually, my guess is the Canadian angle would play into it more than you think. Not taking him over the consensus far better player but the marketing and ticket department would be in his ear big time....Kelly, Edey, Boucher coming off the bench for some time with Barrett, starting lineup on Canada Day for sure.

Look at Raptors attendance. No one cares if there are Canadians on the team they only care if the team is winning. Raptors definitely don't need Edey to sell tickets, we've got plenty of Canadians who are a lot better players and it doesn't move the needle.
The economy is getting worse, discretionary income is more scrutinzed and this is not the Leafs; they are not immune. MLSE and Masai above all peope, understand this.Last edited by G______Deane; Tue Mar 26, 2024, 02:06 PM.

It's super early but here's my first big board. Going to stop at 10 picks, but once we know where the Pacers pick eventually lands will extend out to there.
1. Zaccharie Risacher
2. Reed Sheppard
3. Nikola Topic
4. Kel'el Ware
5. Dalton Knecht
6. Cody Williams
7. Rob Dillingham
8. Jarred McCain
9. Ryan Dunn
10. Devin Carter
Hopefully one of these guys are there at the Pacers spot.

6th for Cody Williams is too low from a Big Board perspective, but if you're assuming that is where the Raps pick, then I support this. Lol
Not having Sarr on there is a pretty hot take as well I think.
Otherwise, decent list.
