I wish, but it's the Clippers. We can't have nice things. We're going to watch Porter become a superstar while Robinson warms the bench.

Spurs are drafting Lonnie Walker. Must be nice to root for an actually smart franchise.

This guy better be the second-coming because this is a horrible pick from out of left field. I have faith in Jerry West but this needs to major convincing to sell me on this not being a huge reach when more notable prospects were still available.

I'm not buying the narrative that Jerry likes him. I think this is the Clippers putting Jerry's name on a Doc/Frank pick to try to make it more palatable for the fans.

Bro what? You actually believe that or just a spur of the moment dumb comment? Everyone needs to relaaax. Only problem I have with this pick is that it leaves us with a lot of guards, but Lonnie Walker is the exact same size as Robinson so it also would've left us with a bunch of guards. Means that we're not picking up some players (Milos, Bradley) and trades are happening. I 100% believe in this new FO and Doc has NOTHING to do with the final decision as he's already messed up enough drafts. Everyone started freaking out over the Blake trade and we ended up ripping the Pistons off. This FO knows what they're doing.

Definitely a risk. Smith is all upside, which might or might not pan out. Hes certainly intriguing, not to mention that Miami pick. 76ers did well. I just like Mikal. Hes not gonna be a star, but absolutely perfect fit for how I would be building Phoenix.
Plus, why would I want to go to the NBA? Duke players suck in the pros.

Can we get back in this draft for Holiday, Hutchison, Kogoie and the such. Since we are building a guard only team.

Don't be surprised if Danny Ainge selects his Mini Me in Grayson Allen for Boston.

My Boy Going to Portland

It'd figure Olshey would grab a prospect I really like. At least, Anfernee won't be going to the Lakers as they supposedly had interest in him.

I think he'll be really gifted in that area. He put up big numbers even against the toughest defenses in NCAA. It's just going to be a situation where he gives up a lot of buckets too.
