We might trade out of the 2nd round for a future pick.

Because honestly do we need a 2nd round pick when we have Zizic and Tatum coming in?  Heck if Yabusele is ready, that's 3 rookies incoming.  Not to mention what do we do with D-League standout Abdel Nader?
we're going to have a number of openings if Danny cuts ties with everyone who's a FA this offseason if he goes after Hayward

...so what's the catch?  6'7" great athletes who can shoot and defend don't last until the second round.

Honestly asking because I didn't study this far down the draft board.  Why is he still available?

Did we just draft a bigger Jae Crowder? Nice!

Yep, Jae Crowder is exactly what I thought.  I really like this pick (for a player I learned existed yesterday!)

With Tatum, Brown, and Ojeleye we're nearing the point where giving up Crowder for PG doesn't even sting.

Warriors get Bell. McCaw last year and now this? The other teams have to stop doing this to themselves.

As of right now, it is safe to say that Jerebko is gone and Yabu is going to stay overseas for another year.

I mean I feel like we were already approaching that point. Now add Ojeleye, possibly Hayward and maybe even Nader.

He's 22. He played at Duke as a freshman and then transferred to SMU (where he had to take a year off because of his transfer status and was redshirted the next).

I cannot believe Semi was there at 37... Ugh, one of my favorite players in the entire draft. We are STACKED with wing players. Jae Crowder must be gone. I'd venture they are more likely to go after Blake now? Hayward is redundant with Brown, Tatum and Semi. Semi is not a stash kind of guy.

Because he is kind of like crowder.... Bulky. Lacks a way to separate from defenders at times.  6'10 wingspan is not the best vs height.   Not a great rebounder , nor passer. But good at boxing out

He is really like a carbon copy of Jae...but at 6'7 with more explosiveness....  He will fit in nicely

You cannot have to many big wings in the NBA right now.  Absolutely love this pick.

Draft Express had him going at pick 22.   I've been wanting him but thought there was no chance..
