Golden traded Payton Pritchard and pick #15 to Idaho for picks #7 and #10.
Thoughts:
- Top 4 were always the top 4 in some order
- Norfolk loves his rookie big men. Worked out well with Clingan a couple years ago. Could Steinback start?
- Golden wanted some rebuilding blocks – Yaxel and Burries could be good (in hindsight, I might regret not taking Wagler)
- This draft felt like a very strong top 11 – after that, it was murky. There will be others who “hit” but they might take time.
- And someone will surprise us – could it be Cam Carr? Okorie? Ament?
- My favourite 2nd rounder – Allen Graves
- My surprised he didn’t get picked – Meleek Thomas
