C'mon now, these picks are nice. Kuzma reminds me of Nance... nance blew the lakers away in workouts... So here's hoping kuzma's great workout will translate.

So far F.O is doing well.


the Kuzma pick wasn't that good given who was there. But if he is a gym rat then he'll grow into a great player.

He's decent. A solid contributor off the bench, he can cut, pass and score fluidly. Im cool with that.
Im stoked about Hart more!

yeah but it feels a bit meh, especially since Anignobu, Harteinstein and Ojeleye were on the board (though if we want them we can buy them).

I really like the Hart pick because of the fit, i mean i like jackson more but i think Hart is a better fit next to Ball.

I like Kuzma and Hart picks. Hart can play some defense, which we desperately need.

I can see it now in a future playoff series. The Hart that saved LA


Believe it or not, even after so many years of success, I've kind of forgotten what it's like to be in a playoff series. :D

Oh I believe it. I'm on the same boat as you. That 2010 playoff run feels like 15 years ago not 7. The playoff runs after 2010 are extremely forgettable.

we're really following the Spurs school of confusing the league with your draft picks, but ending up being vindicated because they're good.

I wonder if Magic will buy one more second round pick and pickup Bell.

I don't know Kuzma but Ball and Hart by themselves make for a great 1st round.

Just a few weeks ago we didn't know if we'd have any 1st rounders

Ojeleye went to Boston. I wonder if we will buy this trade?

If not, lets go Ike, Evans or Sumner.

Edit: Friggin Clippers. They picked up Evans at #39.

Ike or Sumner!!
