I’ve read that Bledsoe don’t remain in Memphis but did not see anything about his next destination. He certainly has learned NBA geography in the past 12 years.

I have nothing to add about the draft, other than to say that Moses Moody is an All-NBA caliber name.
Don't know where else to put this, but is anybody else watching Olympic basketball and thinking the ball looks like a pretzel bite?
Givony's new mock has Orlando getting Barnes @ #5 and Kuminga @ #8....that would be very good for Orlando.
Maybe.
Neither is a good shooter at all.
They'll defend, of course. But Orlando needs guys who can fill it up. Last season, they ranked 30 in field goal percentage-- and that was with Aaron Gordon, Evan Fournier, and Nicola Vucevic. Okeke, Ross, Anthony, Fultz, Bamba, Hampton, Garry Harris-- none of them have shown a penchant for shooting well. Adding two more would be a difficult ask of an offense that labors even under the best of circumstances.
I'd package them to move up in order to draft Jalen Green (if possible). If that didn't work, I'd move down or just draft a shooter with at least one of the picks. There are lots to choose from-- Davion Mitchell, Chris Duarte, Moritz's little bro, Corey Kispert.
Bledsoe and the Knicks are destined to be together.
Jaylen Green, Evan Mobley and Jaden Springer are three prospects in this year’s draft that I think have a good combination of skill and physical projection. Of course their development will depend on which organizations draft them, their coachability and luck (injuries, opportunities for playing time, etc).
