Consistent with my view. He is my preferred choice at #7 unless something bizarre occurs at 1-6. If Kuminga slipped to #7, I would try to swap back and get some value in return (a late FRP, early SRP, Oubre S&T for some combo of players, picks & TPE, etc.). Any pick 8-13 along with out #14 can yield us two good players. If any of the Top 6 EXCEPT Kuminga slipped to #7, that's who I'd take.

Moody is an absolute no-brainer if he somehow falls to #14. He's a good balance of floor and ceiling, good system fit, good roster fit.

He's becoming a favorite of mine (not that it matters!) Thanks for the information.

I'm surprised that no one asked him if this might have been the inspiration for his name:

(I mean, sure, the Israelites really pissed him off, but smashing the tablets given to you by GOD? Talk about MOODY!)

Myers & Cie will have their hands full trying to pick our future stars in this draft. They could be anywhere as you can see by the above.
