So I have to throw out the disclaimer in that we don't know what the actual offers for the #1 are. 

That aside, I'm assuming that the line of reasoning here is...why isn't there more excitement or interest in the top pick?  I don't think that's an indicator of Sarr's upside pick as much as it is an indicator of the interest in this "flat" draft class in general.  In any given "strong" year, it's clear who is going 1-2.  This year you could create a drastically different top 3 mock  with different teams picking at #1.  Personally, if we didn't have Trae...I would be HARD pressed to pass on Sheppard.  I've got him 2nd overall in my top 4 with: Sarr, Knecht, and Risacher-ish.

So, just intrigued... you pick Sheppard... and you trade Trae realistically and ideally for... ???

It's positive that they might retain Sarr, but the question I want to ask is, "Does Murray or any of the Hawks be traded before or during the draft?"

If they HAD to trade back (which they don't) I would take Sheppard or Castle over Clingan.  The problem is you would HAVE to deal Trae or Murray in that situation and the Hawks would definitely be moving with no leverage in that scenario.

I do think Sheppard is intriguing assuming we move down in the draft and depending on what we get in a DJM trade. I’m honestly not sure what our best option is, but I wouldn’t be mad at that.

Reed, like Bogi, is a better pure shooter than Trae.

Not gonna lie, I was really confused by Boykin ....I went looking at the draftee list to see what range he was slated to be drafted. ....silly me.

This might be a good thing or a bad thing that no one else knows what the Hawks plans are.........keep 'em guessin....but we'll know soon enough.

It's a good thing if they have a plan and are keeping it a secret.  If they are still deciding then we're screwed.

Maybe Quin and Landry are in a nose to nose shouting match as we speak.

How would this work?  I can’t imagine we would outbid NY (and that’s assuming we actually had cap space)
