Wasn't Okogie your top guy at that spot too?
Wanted Landy Shamet, but was happy with the Josh Okogie pick.

Not sure I like #17 for Oubre now that I reflect on it a bit. Oubre has only one year left on his $14 million contract. I don't like giving up a valuable first round pick for no more than a one-year rental. And we'd also have to give up James Johnson to match salaries.
Yeah, I'd prefer an Aaron Gordon deal if it was for the same package.
Woj reported that the Wolves plan to make their pick. I just hope they pick the guy they want to keep and not base their decision on what they think he might garner in a trade down the road. And I really, really hope it's not Ball or Edwards. I'm getting nervous.

Yeah another offensive minded player and lukewarm defender and one year rental to boot. My feelings about this trade, if it goes through, will depend on who was available at 17. If Bey or Jalen Smith slip to 17, I'll hate the trade.

I really like both the guys you mentioned. I especially like Jalen Smith. But my favorite player for #17 would be Tyrell Terry if he falls that far.
