    This is assuming we could get a non-lottery pick (15-30) or possibly a low lottery pick 12-14 with the lower of our 2027 picks and possibly our seconds this year.




    I'd do it for

    Mo Johnson

    Also Zuby...if it turns out he's projected in bottom half of first round


    Obviously Hannes but cannot imagine Hannes not being a top 10 pick.

    Ben Stirtz-love this guy. Mature. Smart. Skilled. And a flat out dawg. But I seriously doubt we consider him because he's got the "bad defender" tag.....which is utterly ridiculous. He's one of those guys that handled the ball all the time, was the best player on his team, and faced all sorts of defensive sets designed to stop him since he was the head of the snake for his team. But he's one of those few ball handlers (similar to FVV) that offset all their turnovers with steals and offensive rebounds. (That is a magic stat btw.) That means he's actually creating possessions while making all the plays and being the most at-risk player for turnovers. A HUGE PLUS. I would trade our lower 2027 pick for Stirtz in an instant if we could get him outside the lottery from a team wanting to switch out picks.
