Detroit and Orlando got the first pick the last 2 seasons.. neither of them better not get it again! Screw that, it’s our turn to get lucky
2023 draft class looks monstrous Would you take Anthony Black over Amen Thompson if AB's new jumper is real?
Fortunately we have alot of time to evaluate the 3-10 guys and a ton of new data coming with tournament season. Quite a number of good guards. Scoot, Thompson, Smith Jr, Black, etc. Best case scenario we land Wemby, and can trade Sengun and his cult for another top ten pick.
Potential late first. Older but would still fit the timeline. 31 Marcus Sasser PG/SG | Houston 6'2" 195 lbs Senior 22.2 yrs 16.6 PTS 3.4 REB 3.0 AST 0.4 BLK 2.4 STL
I would probably not even take him over Nick Smith. I’m sure a lot of Black’s good start can be attributed to Smith’s absence. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out.
I know everybody LOVES Scoot but Anthony Black is the real deal. The guy reminds me of Cade Cunningham, but he has more game and play better defense. Scoot is a explosive player but he is short and not great on the defense end. Black is 6'7, has great passing skills and handles. He plays great defense and can cover 1-4 position. i can see Stone drafting and falling in love with Anthony Black. Stone LOVES big point guard but KPJ and Nix are not NBA point guards. Anthony Black is a legit point guard.
It will be interesting to watch the climbers and fallers. I have paid much more attention now that the Rockets are picking high. The good thing about this draft is that I am confident we are going to either get Wemby or a good PG.
Wemby is the obvious but there's quite a few guys in this draft that I like depending upon where we're picking .... Some of them I would consider moving up for. 3-5 Amen Thompson Brandon Miller Late lotto Anthony Black (he may well move up) Late 1st / early 2nd (Milwaukee pick) DaRon Holmes Marcus Sasser
