JT Thor is a guy people should lookout for. Raw but has potential.

He's 6'10 with a 7'3 wingspan at 18 years old.

Yep and yep. I see him as a wing/small ball 4. His only real weaknesses right now are his decision making and consistency in shooting, but I think under the right system, he'll be a really good player in this league.

Jared Butler, Nah Shon Hyland, & Sharife' Cooper where interviewed by Mike Schmitz @ the combine today.  All of them did well but Butler stood out the most. He is a very high character  & articulate player.  Hope he is cleared by the doctors to play pro ball.  Cooper was briefly asked about his measured height, he said he was about 6"2 or 6"3.  However I'm not buying it.

I think we are going to be on a great position to add Guard help.

Some guy might slip to our position.

For PG help I would be happy with any of Davion Mitchell, Jaden Springer, Tre Mann or Ayo Dosunmu. I really think Mitchell can slip. They can be good backups for Trae.

SG I think we could look for Josh Christopher, Trey Murphy or Cameron Thomas. Murphy has intriguing length while Thomas and Christopher are scoring guards off the bench.

Another help we could use is a backup PF or C. Kai Jones is really really intriguing and I would definitely push the button if he is there. Backup PF with length, good defensive instincts and can shoot the 3. Reminds me Christian Wood. I think we really need a player like this.

Greg Brown or Dayron Sharpe could be good additions but I really think we can get them on 2nd round, consolation prize might be Petrusev.

Overall I think from 12 pick onwards things are pretty open, you can find prospects ranked from 18 to 40 randomly. Even some guys that you could think are a lock for top 18 could slip to 20 like Davion Mitchell, Kai Jones or Giddey. If that happens we should go BPA, if not you still have some decent options for backup guard that we could use.

In all seriousness, I couldn't stand seeing bLopez abusing us knowing we had nothing to throw at him.

Cockburn is a good big, maybe not a "modern" big but I think a good coach can make it work.

One last note on …burn, I’m gonna need the jersey. I mean the smedium t shirt jersey. Wonder what the UPS guy would say then? Prolly put your Teague back on!

The more and more I look at the prospects we could take at that range, he has one of the highest upsides. Might not contribute year 1, but he’ll be a guy that once is developed, will pay huge dividends to our championship window.

So just so I understand you correctly, you want to throw some Cockburn at Lopez to keep him from abusing yo us?
