Sources: The Warriors and Bulls have discussed a trade that’d send the second pick in exchange for the fourth pick and Wendell Carter Jr. More detail, reports and analysis inside my latest Mock Draft update on @ringer:

…you might be curious about him. The comp I’ve read most is Al Horford.

The basic logic would be this: WCJ might already be better than Wiseman this year and maybe next. Also #4 is about as good as #2 because the salary is less and this draft has a super imperfect Top 3 and another questionable 10, so it’s all the same, and maybe one of the Top 3 falls to #4 anyway.

If this actually happens, I’ll try to flesh this out into a proper scouting report.

This is a nice scouting report: WENDELL CARTER JR.’S ASCENSION PUT ON HOLD but it’s only based on his rookie season.

which make it sound like a positional clash with Lauri Markkanen at the 4.

And now for some highlight reels.

From SFGate:

--------------------

LATEST, 11:05 a.m. Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob appeared on ESPN's "First Take" Wednesday morning, and stated his team likes at least two prospects at the top of the draft, but has not ruled out a trade.

"We only need to like two players with the number two pick, and if one of them we like is there — and one of them will be there and we do like at least two players — we're likely to take that player," he said. "We of course could entertain a trade if it could benefit our team."

Later in the interview, Lacob said the team is looking for "size, athleticism and physicality," invoking the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers. Some on the internet thought Lacob was strongly signaling the team is likely to take Memphis center James Wiseman.

Get the increasing sense that the big swing factor tonight at the top of the draft is whether the Hornets hop from 3 to 1 to secure Wiseman. Could have a domino effect.
