I have an admission to make. It's me, I'm Wemby.
I’m still a GG buyer just not at the 9th pick due to his mentality and availability of Hendricks and Black’s shooting coming around.
At 16th if we need a guard then he’s out also.
At 28th he’s a no brainer swing for the fence type pick imo.

Would you at 16?
I don’t think either drops that far. Murray is underrated imo.
My opinion of GG hasn’t really changed much throughout all the craziness. I never bought into that momentary hype where every weakness was actually a strength. But at 28….sure take a swing. Not my type of swing but it’s the 28th pick. He might actually be higher than 28th on my board. It’s kinda where he’s always been for me and I wouldn’t be that mad if we took a flier on him.
And The Ringer has him at 230 lbs (though otherwise fairly accurate)? Wonder where that came from?
He came in at 194 lbs.
RealGM used to have him at 230 IIRC…I imagine that’s what they pulled from (or they pulled from the same source that RealGM did), but that was never accurate lol.
It's worth reflecting on.
I don’t even want to read the 10 pages on Bilal discussion, and he’s my guy lol. I feel comfortable in my reasons for liking him, but also understand it’s not for everyone. Don’t want to uncover whatever mess is wrapped up in that discussion lol.

Dalls is in win now mode. Bilal is a project. If you're Dallas you trade the 10 for someone who can keep luca in Dallas. The biggest project in the top 17 players isn't that guy.
To me GG is undeniably more talented than Whitmore and I see his flaws as being easy to work on.
Sometimes I do feel like the GG is stuff is one giant smokescreen (pun intended). Of all that prospect interviews I watch, he's in the top 5 in terms of personality (Dick, Black, GG, OMP, and JHS). Not that he isn't immature, but it's immaturity entirely based on age and not some overarching character flaw.
They could go Bilal. At the end of the day you need to take who you truly believe can be the best player within their 4 year rookie contract. I think Bilal will need time, but he's not a 2 years away from being 2 years away type prospect either.
I think Dallas decision tree should be: How much better do we think Derick Lively is than James Nnaji, how far back can we safely trade back to draft James Nanji, and does what we get from trading back make up the difference (or possibly add to the positive difference).
Simply put I think it would be insanity to pass on the two centers with elite physical/athletic traits to pair with Luka.
But you really believe in Bilal why not? At the end of the day this draft is loaded on question marks and I still think the people acting like Bilal is anymore of a question mark than many of the other lottery prospects are being silly
I don’t get the pun part..
A popular rumor is that he smoked weed in the middle of a team workout
Ohhhh…

Just nutty athleticism. In terms of vertical explosiveness he might be ahead of both twins.
Working out with Melo confirming his busy potential
I wonder how they are trying to address the actual question marks of his game? His athleticism is really not surprising to anyone at this point. I'd much rather see him make some nice passes in 3 on 3, rather than... whatever this is... open lane dunking.
Hahaha.. what’s with that drill where he was guarding someone then he suddenly hands the ball to you? Then he turns around and shoots it?
LOL.. c’mon man
