Could Bazz get us a top ten pick in this draft?

I'd love to trade up for Justise Winslow if he's available in the 6-8 spots, I think he's going to be special. Another guy, I'd like to trade up for is Bobby Portis. Stanley Johnson and Kevon Looney are also on my radar if we had a top 15 pick.

I would not trade Bazz. I would've ditched him for sure after his first year, but that guy was arguably our second-best player on the court last year. It would be nice if he had more of a defensive game, but the dude just pulls points out of his hat. I wouldn't trade him.

Am I crazy, or is Frank Kaminsky WAY better than people give the guy credit for?! He outplayed Okafor, Cauley-Stein, and Towns. His numbers were crazy good. He was the best player on the championship team. Everybody talks about Towns' PER setting him apart from Okafor . . . umm, Kaminsky's was higher! Yeah, he's a couple years older, which is part of why I wouldn't take him over Towns or Okafor at all, but does this guy deserve to be the butt of jokes? C'mon.

Kaminsky will be good and I think he's underrated because of his age, but I don't think he has much chance to be great and that's what GMs with top 10 picks want.

I'm a huge fan of two way players. That's why I love Towns and Winslow and think Russell is overrated. Shabazz is better than I thought he would be, but I would swap him for a two way player like Winslow without hesitation. Would I trade him for Portis? Not sure.

I don't even think the Frye or Hawes comparisons are THAT terrible. Although both played poorly this season.

For Winslow, sure. Better fit as a two-way player. Probably going to be as good as Bazz, and probably arguably a solid starter in this league after a couple years. Not a lot of downside. He'll at least be a very good role player. But especially on draft night (when the stock of these players about to get drafted is as high as it's going to get for awhile) you won't get a pick high enough to get Winslow for Bazz.

Is Winslow still a legit 2-way player on the wing?

Didn't he measure shorter than most people thought? I thought I read where he's only about 6'4." And I also read where his lack of handles and ability to create are his greatest weaknesses.

So, pushing him into a position where he'll need to do that more often? Maybe that's why some of the steam of him flying up the draft has subsided. I like the guy... but not as a guard. He won't have to play guard, right?

I wouldn't trade Bazz either and I am high on him but Tonansweer the question I dont think he by himself would get a top 10 pick you would have to add something and would have to have the right te that valued at the spot. Teens? Yeah I could see that.
