Mitch did it. 
Considering Hayes profiles as D'Lo this pick makes sense.

I’m just thinking maybe he’ll get an offer they wouldn’t want to match. I want him back for sure because I see him to be our legit scoring option off the bench and I see Okgoie being the starter.

Yea Beasley depends on who else throwing him offers...He’s the type of player that you shouldn’t overpay, can limit the teams flexibility and he won’t move the needle much

Would be pretty surprised if MEMPIS doesn't throw him him some sort of sheet. Not exactly sure who else would. MIN should match though.

Memphis is good with Brooks and hopefully a re-signed Melton at SG.

I’m fine with matching they may need to move James Johnson tho. I’d rather that time go to Spellman and Reid. They in this draft do need to get an athletic 5 because KAT is the tallest.

Some added shooting definitely wouldn't hurt Mempis if it came at the right price.
He's not going to be scoring 21 a game like he was in his few games in MIN for a good team, but I do think he could be around 16 or so, while successfully helping space the floor. Considering Okogie and Culver's inabilities when it comes to that, I don't see how they could let him walk, assuming his cost is going to be reasonable.

Ping pong balls fall in Hornets favor for first time since landing Baron Davis- team selects French guard Killian Hayes with 3rd overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft
Charlotte, NC
Hornets have their next hopeful star in their attempt to help ease the pain of seeing franchise star, Kemba Walker, leave in free agency last summer. Sources say the selection came down to Memphis freshman James Wiseman, Israel young phenom Deni Avdija, and Hayes. With the emergence of Devonte Graham this season, the organization hopes to pair the two moving forward as the contract of Terry Rozier is only guaranteed for the 20-21 season and could be packaged in a trade.
Both Wiseman and Avdija had strong support within the organization as Wiseman would have given them the rim protection and rebounding presence inside that the team has needed as their rotation consists of Cody Zellar and the expiring contracts of Bismack Biyombo and Willy Hernangomez. Avdija’s pairing with rookie PJ Washington would have been interesting and provided another playmaking forward to the Hornets already young rotation.
Hayes ability to create for his teammates and himself along with his defensive ability was a deciding factor for GM Mitch Kupchek. Hayes, 18, averaged nearly 13 and 6 per game for Ulm last season.
Hayes playmaking and shooting is expected to translate quickly at the next level and Charlotte hopes to have found a star in the making
Not mad at it!! I do have a penchant for Deni though right now, and Wiseman would be hard to pass on, but I respect it and would dig it if this happened.

I’m higher on Deni than most. Just had to go BPA over fit. Part of me would love to see Deni/PJ/Miles running the floor

Definitely would gamble on Edwards over Melo if Warriors should keep pick, but I get it

precisely what I’m hoping for. Of course I think there’s no way we pick that high for your pick but Deni may slide.

Sorry been traveling today.
The Chicago Bulls select Isaac Okoro.
I selected Okoro because Otto Porter is consistently hurt and a free agent in a year. Okoro also has some nasty which this team desperately needs.

Okoro worries me. Can see a world where he's an awesome glue guy that defends is a good passer and good in transition, but can also see one where he can't shoot or score off the dribble and doesn't have the size to handle elite wings.

Always worry about the wings with the physical tools and raw game taken in the lotto. Sometimes they develop into Paul George/Jaylen Brown/Jonathan Isaac, other times they develop into MKG/Stanley Johnson/Josh Jackson.
Okoro has some Justise Winslow, without the ball handling. Five years into Justise Winslow's career and I still don't know what to make of him.

I feel like Okoro may be more dependent on fit. For the Bulls or Wolves for instance, I think that's a better fit for him
i.e. get him on teams that already have players (that's plural) who are going to dominate the ball and are legitimate scorers
Let Okoro be the energy guy who mucks things up defensively and who can get those momentum dunks. Hope that he can develop into more than that
