Cam you will find this interesting. I wish he was coming over sooner.

@DarrenWolfson: PF Bojan Dubljevic, #Twolves property, will be in Valencia the next two years for sure. No buyout potential. Signed extension recently.

While I want him here now, that actually might be a good thing. We have clutter at the PF/C position and hopefully in those two years, Flip's able to clean out the trash (Bennett) and move some guys in trades. Simultaneously, Dub can continue to get better beasting on solid competition. Already one of Europe's rising stars and still just 24 years old. Two years won't be a big deal.

PS: LaVine's had some 'wow' games this year (like last night) and enough star-like moments where I would much rather have Towns/Okafor over Mudiay/Russell. I believe in Zach and his growth and I don't believe Flip would take one of the guards over one of the bigs if he had the choice to. That's a good thing in my eyes.

draft express just added a new breakdown of Russell

Add Joe Young to my list of guys that I hope fall to our 2nd round pick, though I doubt it happens.

Cam I might disagree with you sometimes, but you watch more college ball then I do (I watch a lot), what do you think of local product in Rashad Vaughn as a second round pick. I think he is dumb enough to come out. His scoring numbers were high (bad shooting percentage), he got hurt and his team was bad because they played a ton of ISO ball. But Cam what are your thoughts

R.J. Hunter, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, T.J. McConnell, Dakari Johnson, VanVleet.

I really hope Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is there in the 2nd. If not him, then Petteway or Dakari Johnson.
Also, can someone tell me why cliff alexander has been dropped to the 2nd round in all of the mocks, was his injury that severe?

I also wouldn't be opposed to finding a way to trade back into the end of the first for Christian wood, tyus jones, or rondae hollis. I'm sure 2 2nds and a player could get it done.

I would think as high as the two 2nds are that they combined would be enough to move to the end of the first round.

I agree

One of the reasons I wanted Martin traded is I wanted to see Zach and Muhammed get more time. Muhammed went down, so we would have got Zach plenty of time. I am a Russell guy, but I can't argue that C/PF is the biggest need. Our front court sucks and it's something we need to dump as many resources as possible into.
