To me it comes down to who does NOLA like better, Lonzo or Garland?

If Phoenix knows Garland will be off the board, they would likely give up #6 for Ball. That leaves the Pels with the opportunity to still draft a Hunter, Bol, etc.

If I'm the Pels, I swap the #4 for the #8 and #10 from Atlanta and build a team

Randle opted out...Bol could be a very nice fit with Zion though

Huge risk with Bol

Elvis

6/20/19 8:00am

He is risky, but he’s not going to be playing down low.

PHXSUNS31

6/20/19 8:08am

Agreed. Seems like a modern-day Brooke Lopez to me.

Dakota Cougar

He won't be playing defense?

SJS

Sure, but he’s not guarding Embiid.

PHXSUNS31

this is kinda what people said about Durant too tho.

He doesn't move laterally

I hope we don’t. I think Ball is very risky...might just be Rubio

PHXSUNS31

6/20/19 8:19am

He's at least a lot more athletic than Rubio and a 6th pick is just as risky.

califcougar

6/20/19 8:30am

Sure, but the 6th pick is cheaper and has 2 extra years of control

PHXSUNS31

6/20/19 9:04am

risky due to Bol's health. and if i do this for Bol, i don't make Reddish the

Who makes their 3s? They'll all shoot them. Don't see a lot of makes with that lineup.

this is a good point. with zion on board, you probably cut ties with Randle and

smokymountainrain

6/20/19 8:40am

Yeah, just Bol and to some extent Ingram. If I'm them I'm moving up for Barrett

califcougar

6/20/19 8:43am

What do you see in Barrett?

Pony Zale

6/20/19 8:55am

you've missed on him. definitely a plus athlete. rebounds his position,

smokymountainrain

6/20/19 9:04am

Don't think so. Nope

Pony Zale

There's a lot that you and I disagree on, but I agree with everything here.

More time to revisit this now...

You don't know enough about Barrett if your assessment is he can't create his

Dakota Cougar

6/20/19 10:37am

I think a better question is can he create efficient shots?

PHXSUNS31

6/20/19 10:44am

He certainly has some Andrew Wiggins potential.

Dakota Cougar

6/20/19 10:50am

He’ll at least play hard, so I think he’s above Wiggins.

PHXSUNS31

6/20/19 11:33am

the AW potential is real and it would scare me. but, i he has a stronger

smokymountainrain

Nailed it, agree 100%.

Dakota Cougar

You don’t know enough about Barrett

Ingram shot 39% a year ago. We'll see how well Bol & Zion can shoot in the NBA

Too young

They should offer Splash Mountain imo
