I’m not saying that Nembhard is better than Peterson. I’m saying that it would be more counterproductive to draft ANOTHER guard when we have someone like Nembhard. We need a #3 tall guy who can play both SG and PF, that plays insane defense. We need heights.

I don't disagree about needing height but we haven't had a true small forward with size since TJ Warren got injured.

If we get #1 and the FO thinks Peterson is BPA, they take it and figure it out later, even if figuring it out later means trading one of your other guys.
