Shamit thinks there’s some buzz with Toronto and Sochan if they did move up to 7. Could be Sharpe as well

Sochan would definitely be a curveball ahead of us. It means def one of Dyson, Mathurin are available.

If both of them aren’t available then Sharpe would be there.

Ousmane Dieng wowed the Pelicans in a private workout and is under serious consideration at No. 8, per @DraftExpress.

Woj says Shaedon Sharpe is in play with Indiana at #6, and that his range is likely somewhere between #6 and #9. Mentions that New Orleans’ #8 could be on the move if someone wants to move up for Sharpe.

I’m in favor of it. I’ve been riding the Dieng train for a minute. It would at least be interesting.

Addendum…a lot of people compare Dieng to BI. Imagine if he hits that ceiling and you can put two BIs out there

This sounds like misdirection.

I wouldn’t think we would be leaking out how much a guy impressed us right before the draft unless we want to convince someone else to take him and leave our guy on the board.

Could very well be. We’ll find out in 22 hours

It was pretty well known we liked Trey Murphy last year.

And Kira the year before. I think it’s legitimate, unfortunately.

I still think they’ll pick Daniels if he’s on the board when we pick, but after him they very well could have Dieng after him.

What’s unfortunate about it?

The Thunder are aggressively trying to trade up from No. 12 with their primary targets being Jaden Ivey and Shaedon Sharpe to pair with Chet Holmgren at No. 2, per
@DraftExpress
Mentioned it before, but Presti being that in love with someone available to us at 8 is...worrisome.

He might be the best in the league at this and if he wants someone THAT badly, I would think twice about handing him over to them. If he wants someone that much, he'd have to do a lot better than just taking on salary.

I think it’s hilarious that some people absolutely love Daniels but absolutely hate the idea of Dieng. They’re similar in a lot of ways but Dieng having a higher offensive ceiling while Daniels has the higher defensive ceiling.

Is he though? Go take a look at his last 5-6 drafts at players they drafted for themselves. Not much there besides Giddey.

Thank you. Presti had been hanging his hat on the trifecta from over a decade ago and everybody still believes he is a draft master..

Given the roster I don’t feel the pressure like prior years to nail this pick. I’m ok with taking an aggressive swing on high upside.
