I came away feeling the exact opposite. His off the ball movement is elite for his age and will run defenders ragged. Add in his ability to create off the dribble and you have a very rare combo.

We aren't even close to being in the conversation for Giannis with what the thunder and rockets can offer without getting a top 2 pick this year to trade and I have zero interest in that. We aren't capable of building a team around Giannis that can beat the thunder and rockets going forward so I...

The more tape I watch of Kasparas the more I see Tyler Herro upside. His shooting percentage from 3 doesn't match his shooting stroke so I expect that to rise to the high 30% range over the next few years. His passing chops are a little above Herro so I think he could be more of a main hub...

That deal was straight highway robbery for Minny and it didn't need to happen. They would have done that deal without NAW or the 2nd rd picks.

The timing of this seems strange on the surface but it makes sense if ownership was frustrated with them. If you keep them around and they make a big run in the playoffs which is certainly possible then you are almost forced to move forward with both guys for at least another couple years. This...

Yep. No reason to sell low on the kid unless you fall in love with a player in the draft and he is the piece to make it happen. One conversation I would try to have is with the rockets for Whitmore. They probably say no but I'm definitely asking.

That is so depressing when you look at all the guys drafted after him.

Very real possibility. It's going to be painful to watch when Buzelis turns into a star and Cody probably washes out in a few years. It's kind of shocking how bad Cody is. Give any other scrub the same opportunity that he is getting right now and almost every one would be more productive.

Yep. Crazy talented and have so much room for improvement over the next few years. Over the next 5 years the top of the west is going to be stupid good with the thunder, rockets and spurs. Cracking that top 3 may be impossible.

Boy did the sixers hit on the draft this year. McCain probably would have been the ROY and Justin Edwards is working his way to the all rookie team. Then you got Bona who has looked great any time he gets minutes. From a win standpoint this year was a disaster but damn the future is looking...

This draft doesn't look weak at all. In fact it looks very deep.

Your last sentence is the saving grace. In a re draft we would gladly take Flip with the Cody pick and feel good. The part that sucks is that this should have been a home run draft with Matas sitting there. I had him as the top pick in the draft so to snag him at 10 would have been incredible...

That is probably the most likely scenario.

I wonder what teams would have put on the table of he hit the market. They seem to have wanted impact win now pieces. Would the Griz do JJJ and Bane? A ton of other teams would have interest but the package would be draft pick heavy rather than a win now piece even close to AD. I wonder if the...

Any word on if JHS is even healthy? I liked him in the draft and he looked pretty damn good in the gleague last year before his back injury. Back injuries are a bitch though and can rob you of your athleticism real quick.
