I thought i read that Spaulding also got a 2-way deal. So we are looking like:
G - Smith | Barea | Brunson
G- Doncic | Yogi
F - Matthews | Broekhoff | DFS
F - Barnes | Powell | Maxi
C- Jordan | Nowitzki | Mejri
Two way (2): Motley, Spalding, Antetokoumnpo
Maybe one of the two ways (Motley) gets an actual contract?

Answer me this, what is the only position anyone should feel comfortable with? Pg with a starter locked in, maybe now sf with doncic, everything else is a mess, so why use a high pick for a guy without starting potential, it makes zero sense. U dont fill out bench position that doesnt need immediate filling when you holes EVERYWHERE else. That's a spot u dont use quality resources on and a high 2 is that. This is one of the reasons we've been so bad, too many pg's no defense or rebounding
My best guess is because Brunson was BPA. If they wanted to take a player of need that would have been Mitchel Robinson 3 picks down. But Robinsons looks like AJ Hammonds right now. Salah Mejiri will come in before him to be honest. he's that raw. I think management has already committed to taking a big man via free agency and not the draft. otherwise they would have just stood pat at #5 and take Bamba.

Prior to the draft pretty much everybody thought (Skin & Karalla on their pod, the locked on-guys) we'd target one of the wings with #33. Our backcourt is extremely crowded already and we've spent a ton of time developing guys like Ferrell and Curry. I get the BPA-angle and am at peace with the pick now, but from a more teambuilding-centric POV this was obviously a selection that's gonna polarize.
I just hope that it all makes sense at the end of the offseason. I REALLY don't want this to end in a situation where we've blown a not-great-but-pretty-solid pick on a fourth string PG bc they've decided to also bring back multiple of ther other guards who are all more experienced and are therefore better win-now options for Carlisle. We all know how he usually handles situations like this.
yeah I'm with you. I would have preferred Bruce brown or Bates-Diop, but I dont hate brunson, just thought there were more sensible options. Though if brunson can play well or already has more trade value than the other 2, and we can flip him in some package for a Center, then I'd be even more okay.

I need to ask you again my friend.. You were against both Brunson and Luka, and you were the biggest Bamba fan.. How do you like the picks now? I just want to hear your oppinion
