Sarr seems like the most likely pick for Atlanta

I figure Atlanta takes Sarr. Too bad, I would have happily taken him if we got the #1 pick. Right now, I'm leaning towards Holland like Dat & Nate have advocated. Take a home run swing.

We will take Risacher and call plays in French

Almost certain that Atlanta takes Sarr.

Sarr was the prize and after him it’s a quagmire. I like Holland personally but wouldn’t mind a trade back if possible. There’s a number of guys I’ll be disappointed with at 2

Topic is the top pick for me (lol). I doubt Atlanta takes him.

Assuming Sarr goes #1 and given the way size has impacted the playoffs in the West, anyone think there will be a market to move up to #2 for Clingan? I don't watch college ball but he seems to be highest rated college big in this class.

Lots of folks have them taking Zaccharie Risacher...

How do you feel about 2nd for 7 & 14?

Remember, the Wiz FO has admitted on the record that they don't have all-star talent on the roster right now. They are not going for "safe" picks. We are taking a home run swing for the pick here. I think it'll be Holland.

Clingnan makes a ton of sense for Houston. I wonder if there could be a trade back option with us?

I'd do it in a minute, but I don't see Portland going for it....

Trade back with the Spurs, 2+26 for 4+8 possibly? Maybe they want a frenchy for Wemby?

Look at ATL's C depth chart, they are taking Sarr.

The Wizards will probably have to throw in their second this year, and a future 2nd or 2 as well.

If the Wizards are truly interested in holland, I would make this trade. Get the best player available with the 4, and get holland at 8.

Don’t they need a big wing that hit 3s?

I bet the Spurs stay put and just take a pg and wing.

No way. I’m taking Topic at 2 with zero hesitation, and looking to move Kuzma for another pick in the 10-18 range.
