Pure conjecture on my part, but I find the Shaedon Sharpe speculation fascinating. I have only watched his last season high school highlights and they are pretty impressive. But that was over a year and a half ago. I haven't spent much time on the drafts top prospects, but if I was a consistent lottery team he would high on my priority list. For instance, if I am Detroit. I really like Dyson Daniels and Keegan Murray has a lot fans but Sharpe would be above Maturin and Johnny Davis for me. Maybe even Daniels and Murray too. I just think if you are Detroit or Indiana of the worlds, I would prefer swinging for the fences.
I also find it intriguing there are rumors Toronto would listen to offers for OG. Everyone is looking for wings now and OG fits that prototype. He is good. But Toronto has two guys better than OG. They are a little thin at center. Would they look to move OG for a lottery pick for Duren from Memphis? That would make them even a younger, more athletic, and a beast of a team to play against. I could totally see Toronto going down that route. Not sure if that is their plan, but something I could see them considering.
Oklahoma City will also be fascinating. Do they package 12, 30 and a few future picks to move up 5-6 picks for a guy like Sharpe? Quite a haul if they left the draft with Chet and Sharpe.....the top rated guys in their classes. I think they move from being a collector of picks to a team looking to get guys they want now.
With Dallas, something to consider is some of these prospects in our range are best in a fast pace style. They are at their best when the game is fast paced. Luka likes to play at a slower pace. If we plan to play that same type of style, we should factor that in when looking at prospects.
