My "entire argument" is a one-sentence support of a Housh statement - "Kid goes way out of his way to finish with his right, no matter what the situation dictates." You took issue with it, incorrectly naming Derrick Rose as an example, and away we went.

Do you really think that's something that can't be worked on though?

I actually kind of like that for Cleveland. Not sure who they'd take at 5 though. It seems like some Cavs fans think that Irving's natural position is SG (not sure that I agree with them there). Maybe they go Smart and then move Waiters?

Jazz would have a nice lineup too if they bring back Hayward: Kanter, Parker, Hayward, Burks, Burke.

If Melo really wants to go to the Bulls, is there any way we could help them out in return for some more draft picks?

That's been the speculation for some time now. Have never seen anything concrete that it could happen.

Conventional wisdom says yes, but nothing concrete has been reported.

Someone taking on Boozer has been rumored forever.

the team will literally design every play for him to go right if they need to, at least for the first few years

I just think 10 is too high. Streaky shooter, but wants to take jump shots all game. Ok defender, nothing special. Wait it out and grab him in the 18-22 range, which is where he should go. I've got him on that TJ/PJ tier

Turns 22 before the season starts. Short arms for a 3. Pretty crappy defensively.

10 will be exciting because they really haven't been linked to anyone at that spot.

Has there been any smoke to Exum at #2 to Milwaukee?

I could see us choosing between Wiggins and Embiid.
