With as flat as the top of this draft is, I wonder if Portland would be willing to do 7 and 14 for 4. Pick up two raw wings with 7 and 8 then pick up Devin Carter At 14 ahead of Miami as an immediate contributing combo guard who can also act as your point of attack defender for quick guards And...

Those teams with Nephew had multiple creators. This team only has one and a half (Wemby and Vassell). Please don’t attribute the success of that run to Danny Green ever again, lol.

There was a report a few weeks ago that said an anonymous Assistant GM would draft Topic if they had the #1 pick. I looked up some teams who have assistant GM’s and noticed that Washington has one. Washington was so going to draft Topic with their #2, and tbh I feel there’s a chance they still will...

That's why I've been saying that getting a good backup rim protector is a must. But every iteration of those rosters had guys who did nothing with the ball. After Bowen retired, we couldn't get past the hump until we drafted nephew. If not for that tragic choke, Danny would've won the FMVP...

This one cut deep as an SWT alum, but... yeah I think you nailed it

Buzelis is Samanic with less quitting and less eastern bloc prison tattoos Anyway Mogbo only 6-6.25" barefoot, probably 6-8 in shoes. But with a 7-2 wingspan as related on Reddit. Smaller size then I'd hoped, even with that length and motor it would be hard to play him as he currently has...

COMBINE SURPRISES: - Reed Sheppard leads all in max vert at 42" - Edey posting faster lane agility time than IQ, Bufkin, or Jaquez Jr. - Castle leads all at 3 point star drill! 72% (18/25). Holland (9/25) worse than Clingan and Dunn lol

Hmm, to each his own then. When Wemby sits, I don’t want this team’s offense and defense to go to shit. I like the old Spurs’ way of all 48 minutes being dominant and that doesn’t really happen on a team full of one dimensional players. I get that Vassell is a guy who can shoulder the team when...

But we don't really need a forward to move with the ball. We need a forward who's going to defend, be a threat from deep and make timely cuts. We're looking for a point guard, Devin can be the secondary creator and Victor will also have the ball. We don't need five players capable of initiating...

Teams have to have the salary space to take the whole contract, which limits the teams who can do that deal and thus drives up the price. For teams that have trade exceptions, they'd have to be willing to spend the whole amount, even though they are only will take the hit for the guaranteed amount....

No

Buzelis has the versatility people think Zaccharie has tbh. He moves way better with the ball for a player his height.

Painting a picture: DET is on suicide watch after landing the 5th pick two years in a row despite having back to back historically back seasons. Fans are pissed, management is in turmoil. The city, basically, is about to fall into Lake Erie. As part of the draft process they fall in love...

Damn, just heard about Topic's injury. Disappointing.

What exactly does Buzelis excels at to warrant a #4 pick? Bad shooter, qeustionable handles, average wingspan, subpar defender. Yeah, theoretically he can put it together, but when a player has so many question marks around him, it rarely works out. That's why I'd rather have Risacher or...

I just hope OKC doesn't get Clingan or his faster counterpart Edey. They'd be so tough with a physical 7'3" player. Finger crossed that both behemoths go east.

Was really counting on Topic to inject some fluidity to the top 8 and push down some goods to SAs TOR pick Hopefully the combine spotlights some other names to pull up

Topic's knee injury is like hearing Texas Tech burned down after you sent all your college applications off and now you're stuck making Southwest Texas your safety school.

I’m waiting for the hands size and I’m sold

Trading with Washington would be expensive but gotta think they'd pounce on that Portland pick if he gets past Charlotte. Blazers probably don't want Clingan when they just traded for Ayton and OKC can easily offer them better value than whatever they would pick there with 12 and a future first.

combine numbers coming in Shep at 42 inch vertical

:pop: Topic I’m drafting you at 8th so go fake an injury

Poeltl for 9

Without Topic, you'd think they'd go for their #1 priority - whether it be a wing (ZR/Matas) or lead guard (Dilly/Shepherd). And then see what detritus falls to #8. Which probably means we're getting Connect, unless by some miracle he goes higher.

Most surprising number I've seen so far...

::sips cappuccino:: :bobo

Why?

Felt good about the strategy to grab Matas at 4 and wait until 8 to grab Dilly... but Topic's injury really throws a monkey wrench into that plan. I still probably rate Buzelis above Dilly... but if we could go Dilly at 4 and Holland at 8 I'd still be happy, but I have doubt Holland lasts until...

Then Atlanta gets to draft him and then find out he sucks all over again!
