[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yang is 24th on my big board fwiw

Should have asked him then!!

Yang is going to BKN. Didn't even care to look into him much because that's an inevitability.

What if they take a big before Yang tho? I was trying to do my own mock, and I had the same inkling, but I ended up drafting a big for them earlier, so would they go double big in the first round?

 

[Miggs]

Difference is Fears athleticism is more translatable to getting to the rim where Keyonte is a guy who struggles to get all the way

He also sucks at finishing at the rim. So he’s not exactly good at his greatest strength.

First step is getting there. I give him a pass because of his extreme youth

They will still take Yang unless Joseph Tsai wants to disappear like Jack Ma.

White Powder Ma suffered a worse fate.

He draws a huge amount of fouls, probably drags his rim% down a bit.

 

[David Stern]

Great listen, very informative

Only so much time. We shortchanged the late first talk to get into the offseason stuff. Nique Clifford was mentioned... notable that he was changed on Vecenie's big board.

Sam released a new mock with Clifford at 21 instead of jase.

Sounded like you guys had a lot of fun with Tony. Enjoyed it.

Appreciate it!

 

[KqWIN]

I feel as though you two were on your best behavior because TJ was there. But I really wanted to see a fight when @Elizah Huge said @Handlogten's Heros trigger words. Also:

Half the first round is going to Brooklyn, evidently. . .

 

[Flc]

Great listen. I thought the smokescreen question at the start was such a smart one. Curious if you guys think Tony has been a target of said smokescreening.

Also, I’ll just say I’m pretty convinced that Ainge and Windhorst talk regularly.
