no way grizzlies dont take clingan if he falls

[@BlazersUprise]

Heard that a lot but I like Knecht better for them to be honest.

[@ericmarentette]

Haha I love how you waste no time getting to the good stuff.

[@BigB_HayesTV]

Facts i was like wow this is fire..straight to it

[@WembysCastle]

I guarantee 100% if Risacher is at 4 no way in hell we pass him up

[@KernalPancakes]

I hope not I want Matas lol. The 3-10 is gonna be interesting.

[@bballer191]

He's likely going top-3 honestly. WAS or HOU will take him, even though both those teams have multiple wing players already.

[@Mdksupreme1]

@@KernalPancakes risacher is literally much better, what are you on?

[@BlazersUprise]

@mdksupreme1 He's not a better ball handler or passer

[@sarahmccoy1941]

Risacher is the dude! Take him!

[@davidyue3717]

What are the chances that the Spurs bet on Pistons, Hornets and Blazers to pass up on a guard and take a forward with #4 (knowing either Dillingham or Topic could slide down to #8)? If so, do you think that would impact on what the Blazers want to do at #7?

[@rileymcphee9429]

I've heard this argument before and I think it would make the draft a hell of a lot more interesting, and probably pay off. Blazers drafting another PG would probably get Cronin fired and it's not like the PGs in this draft even have the amount of upside Scoot has. It would be a wise gamble for the Spurs imo

[@KernalPancakes]

I wouldn't complain getting Risacher and Salaun

[@walacemateus7963]

Risacher leave before pick 7, and Salaun leave before pick 14.

[@Watcherboy222]

Come back to this comment both of them are bust

[@Now_To_Infinity]

This would be ideal

[@sarahmccoy1941]

The French Connection!

[@vincanity63]

@@Watcherboy222 Same as Wemby before the draft !!!

[@sobotka3792]

Straight to the point. I like that!!

[@walacemateus7963]

Risacher leave before pick 7, and Salaun leave before pick 14.

[@sarahmccoy1941]

Let Dillingham run the pick and roll with someone else. The Spurs need to take Zacharrie Risacher at 4 and then to use that #8 pick for Dalton Knecht or Ron Holland.

[@jermaineflow]

praying devin carter comes to miami and also i love ur mock draft its similar to mine

[@BlazersUprise]

Carter would be perfect for Miami!

[@jayfrancis536]

Given Sarr will be the #1 pick, the Spurs should only be eyeing Risacher, Buzelis, and Salaun I'd rather spend the two draft picking up two big men to surround Wemby with and next year finding our Point Guard of the future. Next year will have better lead guards in the 2025 draft. With 4 potential 1st round picks we will have plenty of opportunity to find a great guard. TP didn't come after Duncan right away. Be patient. Nolan Traore will be worth waiting for. I'm not sold on an injury plagued Topic and Rob is just too small but I am big on Castle who may be the next Jimmy Butler.

[@face2much]

I don’t think the Knicks go for upside personally. I think hartenstein walks and I think Boggy is traded. I think they go ready to play guys - if edey is there they take edey, then guys like Terrence Shannon, Baylor scheireman, Kolek , ajay Mitchell , Adem boba etc.

[@DT77-gx6jo]

Let Billups go and bring in Brandon Roy as head coach. Trade grant, Thybulle and Brogdon for first round picks and expiring contracts. Draft Dalton knect at #7 and Zack Edey at #14.

[@Mkayyyyyyy]

Bronny ain’t a first-rounder? 🤣🤣🤣

[@jermaineflow]

second rounder

[@jermaineflow]

second rounder

[@Mkayyyyyyy]

@@jermaineflow talent wise, he’d be lucky. Realistically, think about this, whichever team drafts Bronny. LeBron would trade everybody on his team for that pick… draft bronny in the late first as a bargaining chip.

[@Mkayyyyyyy]

@@jermaineflow if you draft bronny, you get LeBron OR you get a massive package for a not so valuable pick… both wins tbh

[@jermaineflow]

@@Mkayyyyyyy Drafting bronny cuz of bron is stupid realistically you want a real rookie so nobody in the first round would risk it if bronny becomes a bust thats why more teams would draft him in the second round instead because now they all probably got a good pickup already imo

[@Shevek2020]

Great plan, take all the French players and maybe Wemby will request a trade to Portland in the future.

[@highlightlegend3055]

I never realized how deep this draft is so many players I really like in the late 20s and 30s. Love the video🔥

[@BlazersUprise]

I agree. I think the top of this draft being weak makes people think the entire draft is weak and that's simply not the case.

[@rjejames28]

Salaun will be got i think

[@Watcherboy222]

He’s maybe the biggest project in the first round

[@rjejames28]

@@Watcherboy222 that may be true but there are very few super duper High upside guys so I think that's why he might get taken earlier than you would think

[@C0UGHEE]

This is the most biased draft I've seen 😂, more likely the spurs draft the guys you have for the blazers at 4 and 8, maybe you can steal Salaun at 7 otherwise your draft will be completely different.

[@BlazersUprise]

Lol when I recorded this, most mocks still had Salaun at 14. I don't like Risacher as much as others, so go ahead and draft him at 4.

[@maka-r4m]

reed sheppard to Pistons 🙏🙏

[@nahova3167]

I want Tidjan and Kel’el ware

[@cheefinblazers]

Grizzlies def take Donovan Clingan

[@scottmuir6127]

Carington at 33? He will go in the 20s . AJ Johnson could go higher as well.

[@BlazersUprise]

Anyone could go higher or lower than I projected. There will certainly be surprises.

[@ARR0WMANC3R]

Nice lamp Torey!

[@Habeev07]

I just want Portland to use all their pics on power forwards and centers and I'm picking Trevon Brazile with our last second round pick

[@lil_bear]

This draft is gonna be so interesting to look back on in a few years the top 10 in this draft is wide open. I wonder who will end up being the steal of this draft.

[@bballer191]

Risacher is going top-3. I don't think he should personally, but he will cause it's a poor draft class.

[@antoniomarcoscostadossantos]

Risacher 7, Salaun 14, Kel El Ware 16 ( 76ers trade Brogdon). Go Blazers.

[@SpaceCrazyGames3]

Jaylon tyson to the kings, you sir know ball

[@BigB_HayesTV]

I hope clingan drops to 11 i doubt it tho

[@ahsahm3996]

As a Rockets fan I’d love Buzelis.

[@umzz17]

I love reed at pistons

[@jonathanevers8019]

I just did a first round mock and I’m curious what you think about DaRon Holmes to OKC. Might be a bit of a reach (can always trade back if they don’t think anyone else will take him in the teens) but I just think he’d be a perfect fit there. Could even slot him in as a potential starter next to Chet. What do you think about this?

[@Wrestle_Kingdom]

As a okc fan I would love this pick he my number one prospect for okc he fits exactly what we need and fits okc playstyle

[@jonathanevers8019]

@@Wrestle_Kingdom that’s my thought too. I’m seeing the discourse about who they should target as their Aaron Gordon, and I feel like Holmes could be in OKC’s style what Gordon is in Denver’s

[@stevenpowers2242]

I want Dalton

[@walacemateus7963]

Daron Holmes II in pick 34 is great!

[@ElizabethAllan-is1ur]

lol he won’t fall that far. He even goes 21st in this mock long before 34

[@autograph415]

Great video Mr Jones

[@BlazersUprise]

Thanks!

[@lucaregolin366]

Great work! I like Risacher at 7 but it seems unlikely he still here. Salaun is the best target to get in this draft class with 7th or 14th. Adam Bal chose to return to college. Ajay Mitchell could be his replacement with 40th. Jt Toppin is one of my last risers if he won't back to school

[@part6133]

I like Zach Edey / Ware / Missi to the Kings, Heat, 76 I think that they all need rim protector more than offense !! Kings can trade for a scorer.🎉

[@bebopshoobop]

Id be shocked if risacher is going at 7. San antonio isn’t passing on a french front court.

[@BigB_HayesTV]

Hell be top 3 pick ..his potential is thru the roof

[@bballer191]

WAS or HOU will likely rake Risacher.

[@rjejames28]

Also I think we're going to see a lot of GM's wish they took Zach a lot earlier. I'd like us to move our 2nds with cash and get up and grab him. If that wouldn't work maybe we could work something out with one of our vets in a package

[@BigB_HayesTV]

Zach Risa will go top 3

[@ccthree329]

I have a feeling these predictions wont age very well but we shall see. Don't be surprised if San Antonio or OKC snags Edey to go with the big they already have, Edey would fit perfect in OKC

[@BlazersUprise]

I think there's no chance Edey goes top 10 but who knows

[@vladimirpejcinoski5248]

dont understand why everyone is so hyped on Sarr but same time have Kel'el late teens or even 20's. after combine, Kel'el has 2.5" higher standing reach than Sarr, has a higher standing vertical (probably more important for a C). would you consider Kel'el with #14.

[@BlazersUprise]

Kel'Els motor is worrying and Sarr is a much more impactful defender and has more upside as a creator. But I'd definitely look at Ware at 14.

[@vladimirpejcinoski5248]

If Portland drafts Buzelis/Risacher/Holland/Cody (best to worst SF to fit Portland imo) in that case we will definitely need a C, as i expect Timelord to be moved by feb to clear some cap

[@drummmer05]

We DONT Need another wing!!! we have Banton,. Camara,. Murray,. Grant,. Reathe, Jabari.... we NEED a Paint Protector!... EDEY or Clingon is the ONLY Choice, if they fall to us!!! just like Kat needs a gobert.. ayton NEEDS a defensive big behind him! were skilled & deep in EVERY other area except the Center spot! Edey is a monster & did very well in combine! I hope to God we can get him at 7 bcuz he greatly improves the Balance of this team & stops the "flood" of layups from the last cpl years! ;

[@BlazersUprise]

We need Edey?! At 7?! Reath isn't a wing, and passing on someone at 7 because we have Banton, Murray, and Walker would be one of the silliest things ever. Edey isn't a good defensive prospect. He will get blown by and contribute to the flood of layup at the rim. He didn't block as many shots as he should've at Purdue.

[@face2much]

Draft a big and you’re paying like 60m already for Ayton/timelord ? C’mon bro lol

[@drummmer05]

@@BlazersUprise We NEED Paint Protection Period!!! Ayton is NOT a good paint defender! Reathe is not known for defense! They are both Good "Shooters" & COULD Play Pwr Fwd,. while the Defending Big plays center!!! ; Kat needs gobert... ; Tim Duncan needed David & others. ; Ayton & Reathe need a defensive BIG to Protect the paint & get rebounds! WHO is better or meeting that True Team NEED at 7,.. better than Edey or Clingon? Nobody!!! ;

[@BlazersUprise]

Ayton is not a PF. Clingan is a much better rim protector than Edey. Edey will get blown by to the rim when he has to guard high pick n roll.
