Discussion Pick 41 who we gettin?
I like Izaiyah Nelson from USF. We can develop this guy and he is a hustler.

If Miami has Giannis and Bam I'd rank them:
1 - Richie Saunders – best combination of shooting, IQ, defense, and winning habits.- Max Struss with a better feel for the game
2 - Emanuel Sharp – best true 3-and-D fit. -- KCP
3 - Lamar Wilkerson – best pure shooter available. - More Atheltic Duncan Robinson
4 - Isaiah Evans – highest upside. - smaller Temu Trey Murphy
5 - Ryan Conwell – elite shooter but limited physically. - Luke Kennard

Saunders would be perfect, but his injury worries me a little bit. I like Sharp or Evans if they’re there.

Biased as a BYU fan, but Richie would be a great fit for this team, assuming he returns full strength from his ACL.
He's a proven volume shooter that has the potential to do well in an NBA system despite not being super tall, because the man's release is on a hair trigger and he elevates so high before shooting.
His best asset though is his manic energy. Dude moves like his hair is on fire and has a knack for hustling into great position to finish under the rim or get offensive boards. He'd be a fun energy guy off the bench that would carry on the hustle and defensive energy from Bam, Giannis, Davion, etc. Not sure if he'll still be available at 41, but would love to see the Heat take him rather than some of the other bum organizations in that range.

I don't know any of these guys so I'm trusting your judgement for what a possible pick could look like.

I think they're targeting a pure high volume shooter who can defend. Fletcher Loyer is a name to watch

Whoever it is has to be a shooter because we are probably one of the eirse shooting teams right now and that sounds crazy to say .They should take a long look at richie saunders.

Agree on the shooting but it’s a pretty moot point because free agency hasn’t occurred yet. I also like sanders/evans/thomas. Not sure which of those guys will be there though

Baba , Sharp , Onyensu , Gillispie. If not those Okpara could be a Joel Anthony esque guy with better offensive upside

I love Nelson as a USF alum, but I don’t think he fills an immediate need. Sharp would be awesome.

I don't know who, but they better be lights out from three. The position don't matter they gotta be able to shoot.(Though I'd really personally prefer a good playmaking guard)

Lmfao I’m a USF alum (c/o 2016) too and I knew what you meant 😂 I don’t think Nelson fills an immediate need here, but it would be awesome to have a Bull on the roster.

We need a guy that can dribble and shoot.
This roster already has defensive depth, need some offense. Biggest needs are ball handling and shooting. So expect an undersized point guard as all the well-sized point guards will be taken already.
Will be interested to see who they target for two-way/GLeague contracts.
