Nobody important on our roster is over 24 years old, why would we be signing veteran free agents?

I like this pick, opens up the possibility of getting a good trade for Robin to a playoff team, as much as I like him as a person and a player.

Not my first or second choice, but I'll root for him and trust he was the BPA. I hope he really surprises everybody and proves everyone wrong.

Not a sexy pick, but Carter is definitely solid, has a pretty complete game, can post up, stretch the floor, is pretty agile. The Horford comparisons were what I saw as well. Let's just hope for the best.

So let down with this pick.

This is 2003 all over again. We have the assets and could have moved up...instead we stand pat and take whatever is leftover.

Little sad because we came so close to get Bamba, but I like him and will give him a fair chance.

Going to be so much better than Bamba, who is nothing but pie in the sky.

WCJ will be an amazing player. He's better than Bagley.

Love the pick.
As I said before probability of being at least as good as Al Horford is higher than Bamba developing an above average offensive game IMO

Wendell Carter is my guy now. I think he'll be better than many anticipate.

For a tank year, yeah, sure I'd have preferred Doncic, but this was the 7th pick, and WCJ is the guy to take there.

I'll not be looking at the rear view mirror. Go Wendell!
From the basketball's perspective, travel is a nice pause from being pounded to the floor.

Boring safe pick is right.

Not a bad player, but not the ceiling you hope for after such a **** season. Got screwed in the lottery big time.

Underwhelming, but understandable.

I don't get all the uproar about all the deals they didn't make. We don't know that the teams ahead of them weren't asking too much. 22 and Portis are not enough to move up and I don't advocate giving up a low protection pick considering we will suck again next year.

Was hoping for Bamba. Oh well. See how it goes.
