With how well the boys have been playing already, it’s easy to overlook the treasure trove of draft picks we still possess. How do y’all think Presti will play it? Trading picks for a win now type of player? Or doing what he does best and running it through the draft? I honestly don’t know, but I’m excited!
(Also. I know the likelihood of us getting all 12 picks is low since a few of them are protected. Question still stands.)
He’s gonna draft someone who will be good enough NOW to play meaningful minutes, while still having the upside to grow.
The guy will be good enough to where fans are gonna start asking “will he end up replacing X in the rotation.”
My guess is a forward and he’s gonna compete with Kenrich/Ous/JWill to come in as a 7th man forward. Hopefully he starts by being a good learner and allows himself to be mentored by Kenrich. He’ll be a good rebounder and defender and he’ll end up getting solid rotation minutes.
Cooper Flagg in this role to start his career would be crazy, then eventually crack the starting lineup replacing Giddey/Dort.
