    Interesting player. He can shoot, and in today's NBA you need to have multiple 3 point shooters to have success. That is one of the reasons I like T.J. Leaf too.

    Yes. Justin Jackson, TJ Leaf and Luke Kennard look like good choices at #17 right now. While center does not look like a position of need, Monroe may only have 1 year left and Henson may not be in the long-term plans. Justin Patton, Ike Anigbogu or Jonathan Jeanne might be options if the first 3 are off the board.

    Jarrett Allen worked out yesterday for the Bucks. Draft Express currently has him at #17 going to the Bucks. I did not watch much of Texas this past season (they obviously did not do well), so I don't have much of an opinion on him.

    I wish they wouldn't, just so Lavar doesn't get his way.

    Another hot off the press draft projection from another S.I. writer and he has Kennard going to the Bucks.

    Wow. A lot of movement from what I have seen elsewhere. Lauri Markkanen #3, Donovan Mitchell #6, Justin Jackson #10 (my favorite). Obviously, every mock is just a projection. Working off SI, I would be happy with Luke Kennard, TJ Leaf or Justin Patton at #17. However, my top 2 is Justin Jackson and Luke Kennard. At this point, I would be surprised if either are available at #17.

    I would not be surprised if this ownership group trades future draft picks for a marquee player. Not sure if that is good for the franchise, depends on the player. These owners want to win.
