That is not happening right now for other picks. Why would we expect that?

It happened a couple of times

Regardless of who we pick, Tony Jones is going to say it’s a solid pick.

In all fairness, the kid was thinking he would have been picked 20 picks ago.

Was he thinking at all? Looks like his brain, if he has one, was on autopilot.

Kinda surprised they took THT. You'd think the Lakers would want someone who could play immediately.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Lakers got THT. Damn good pick for them.

traded to the Lakers.

I think like @Catchall said, the FO scouted the second round well and know their targets. Being aggressive as a GM means making and taking as many calls as you can and trying to find a deal that works in your favor, or getting your target. The draft is a bit of a crapshoot and we'll all see how this plays out tho.

It's totally a crap shoot, and I get it. You scout, you put value on players, and you make your call on what to offer. It felt like some guys with value dropped to the point they would be gettable, but because of that the cost stayed really high. So we didn't pay it. Smart? Time will tell. I will just enjoy sleeping knowing Conley is on the way. Odds a 2nd rounder works out are low.

Remember this word: Brazdeikis.

That would be like the most Jazzest pick ever. lol

Jones is a such a corny *** homer.

I'm kinda excited about the UFA guys. Maybe we can find another Jingles/Royce

So if Bol Bol is good, everyone will rationalize “well nobody was valuing him at the time.”

I guess you could say that about any late pick that turned out good.
Nobody was valuing Jimmy Butler in the first round at the time. Wes Matthews. Millsap.
Hell, Joe Ingles and Royce too.

Maybe. But he got a star and we are better positioned for a championship. Most conservative GM in all sports? Bah

People is just plain overreacting for players who might not even be NBA players.

He isn't aggressive at all.

Sometimes I really question your sanity. Actually make that often

I thought I made it pretty clear - Bol 7'3". Bol 7'7" wing span. Bol shoot good.

People worry about guys banging down low but, who even posts up anymore? Embiid? Anybody else?

They did it earlier. The price was much higher today. Money would not have got it done.

Could we have done it earlier too or were we not allowed?

We moved up three spots, in a VERY aggressive manner.
