Doesn't Butler handle the ball quite a bit? I would think a 3point shooter would be great!

He does, although he's not like a Harden or Ginobilli in terms of his PnR skills.

Who's Terrance Ferguson? I remember Wilbon saying he thought he would be steal of the draft but I've never heard of him.

What part of getting Jimmy Butler has you believing our front office wants two rookies on this team?

They all of the sudden need guard depth. Give me Donovan Mitchell at 16.

Og is projected at 23 on DE. If we want him maybe trade back and get Og and get pick to take flyer on Giles.

jinx!

Trey Lyles and 24 to Denver. Utah is up.

Other boards have OG much higher. I don't think you get cute with trades at this point if you really know who you want.

I'm not sure OG is the right pick anymore though. I really liked him before we got Butler, but now I kind of want the best 3 point shooter available. Justin Jackson looks more sensible.

ESPN has him as the 2nd best available.

Not sure at this point in the draft we can bank on anyone's shooting numbers, probably take BPA.

We have money to still go out and get a FA shooter on the wing to replace Bazz. That is absolutely mandatory now.
