Isaiah Stewart was the #2 High School player in the country in 2019.

I'm kinda amazed that Kennard and his durability issues got us a 1st rounder in the top 20.

It’s good to be in the mix again. We’re gonna go 20-52, but it will feel better than anything that has happened in years.

Troy Weaver already has my vote. I'm really impressed.

We could have gotten more for him

Hell the Bucks would have taken him for DiVincenzo after the deal with the Kings fell apart

They probably would have given us a 2nd rounder on top of it

This is the toughest next step. Let's hope that Blake gets moved by the deadline.

I like the piano player from Arizona. He’s well spoken. Should have drafted him instead of the short chubby center

Even if this was a possibility.

I don't know how you read this dude's scouting report and think "definitely a bust".

He's got an NBA ready build, is a natural rebounder and has a reputation as keen defender and talented scorer in the paint. Weaver has worked with the coach at Washington in the past, and clearly saw something he really liked here. OKC always did well with those hidden big men gems, so I'm cautiously optimistic here.

We went into this draft with one first round pick.... Weaver turned it into 3. Freakin proud.

I agree. Getting Luke for the #20 pick in a bad draft is a win for the Clippers.

If Immanuel Quickley is available in the 2nd, wouldn’t be surprised if Weaver buys a pick.

I’m not convinced that trade is officially off the table

We clearly have went with a youth movement and need to go full force moving Rose for whatever pick (even a 2nd).

Looking at 2021 draft, we are in a good position to get one of these guys
