I'm f***ing livid. I waited for this day for years only for it to happen in the only draft I didn't want it to happen. Even in the 2013 draft, I really like Oladipo and Beal. Clingan upside is a better Gobert with a worse stamina.

Sarr is one of those guys who insane talent but he's not a big man. Jon Bender type. You draft him, he might not end up being shit but you hope he's a superstar. 

Man, I really hate this top 5 with a passion. Risacher should get a serious look but he won't because of BI. Man, this is some bullshit. I can see this looking really bad at the midseason when we should have taken Clingan. I can really see them buying Sarr and buying his defensive upside and thinking maybe Trae can make him more than what he is which is a shit screener who is a reactive defender. Ugh! 

I wanted to stick at 10 but I had a bad feeling we was gonna win the lottery

Why not take Edey? Isn't he generational? 

I wasn't a fan of getting the first pick this year.  I'd try and trade back and get more picks this year and next.  I got to watch more of Sarr.

Just me spit balling this: wonder if the Spurs love someone enough to pair with Wemby to send us the 4 and 8 picks for our #1 pick.

I wondered about this ......but do we really need two picks in THIS draft and to trade with SAS...again?

If you are going to use this unrelated metaphor, why can’t we be Chicago then?  They were #1.  Carolina traded up for the wrong player.  We aren’t selling any farm land like Carolina did.

I hope there is an idiot willing to sell the farm to move up but I know that's not happening. I scouted these guys, no one will move up in this class and give you anything of value. Too many questions with all these guys

He's a fit for Trae but he's not in this range. Just because you can be special, your draft range is your draft range. Giannis wasn't a top 10 pick no matter what in 2013. 

In this range, it's Clingan, Risacher, Holland, and Sarr for the Hawks.

Definitely Sarr over Clingan.  I have doubts about Clingan due to foot speed.  He’s not slow like Zach Edey, but he’s not modern big fast or quick.  Sarr is.  
 

7-1.  Can handle the ball.  Has shooting upside.  Can rim protect defensively while also being able to switch and do a lot of things defensively.

He's not good. These fairy tales you love so much bro. He's not good.

That’s fine.  1 is better than 10.  It is independent of any other draft lottery.  Of course we would rather have Edwards.  What good does that do?

Take Sarr or trade the pick. He can bust just like the rest of em'. However, I'm not passing on a 1 of 1 athlete for his size whose strengths can fix our weaknesses.

If he fit Trae, I would strongly consider but he doesn't. His screening is poor. He's doesn't have this good frame either and his best position is at the 4 which is JJ spot. 

Clingan gives you enough upside and he's a clear fit with Trae. Take him even if he can only play 26 mpg

C-  Sarr

PF- JJ
SF-Ingram

SG-Hunter

PF-Trae

Can't have both Ingram and Hunter, if Sarr is the guy we bring in, I don't want Ingram at all. 

Double down on defense.
