Joshua Jefferson is listed at Tankathon as our pick at 30 so thoughts?
Wonder if he is related to Kidds old teammate in New Jersey.
Note he leads all PF/SF options in assists. At 6'9 (always ? accuracy of size till the combine results are in ) I like him as an option to use as a big defensive minded SF / PF if we decide to go this way and certainly having as many guys who can create for others on the team is a good thing, especially with size. I like him enough to bet he improves at hitting 3 pointers over time.
Center would also be a position we could augment with pick #30.
I am tempted to snag someone at the 5 with this pick since there seem to be many teams who will take a big in this range. Some I would want to draft may be gone before 30 so if they fall to us at 30 then that is a sign we might be wise to snag them.
Our conundrum here is do we want to bet on Lively being able to play more than he has so far or should we add centers through the draft and even consider undrafted talents at the 5 like we did last year and hope we can find another keeper like Cisse appears to be, hopefully we can even carve out space for him by trading off older guys.
All of these moves to add a big should be factored in with what we plan to do with Gafford, PJ and others that may be traded off or not. Hopefully there is interest in our vets and we are not stuck with them. Trying to get younger and healthier at the 5 requires we trade Gafford off and PJ is also a bit on the older side now.
Obviously trades mean we will getting something back if we can trade them off at all and I have not even begun to consider what kind of interest exists in the league for them and what they might net us in return.
Gafford was probably getting interest before he was hurt but now he should be fully recovered and taking measures to protect his health more.
I guess it will be like most moves, it happens and then we discuss the trade after the fact.
