This is JJJ of the draft 2.0

Read on Twitter


So much to like about his game. See him as a starting two for us to help combat fellow Cal Bear Jaylen Brown. Allows us to ditch Herro.


40% on catch and shoot threes is very solid.

Would be nice to surround Bam with big wings in Tyson/Jaquez/Jovic, who are all versatile enough to shoot, handle, create and defend at a solid level. Really hoping to see Jaime become knock down at that catch and shoot three ball. I hope he's been working on it a lot.

Do we know if Jaquez is playing Summer League?

Not sure about Jaime in summer league. All i know is Tyson would be a great pick. He’s a 2/3 while Jaquez is more a 3/4. Would be very dynamic playing those two together. I mentioned Jaylon Tyson not so long ago being our oh chit phucker came out of no where pick but now word getting out from the 5 guys that they really like him and it’s the most obvious read since last year with JJJ. The two pure heatles are Carter and Tyson.


Hard to argue with that re: Carter and Tyson. Both look like Heat guys to me.

Hell if we did somehow trade up and nab #5 from Detroit or #6 from Charlotte, wouldn't shock me if we took Carter there, kepty 15 and drafted Tyson, and remade our eventual starting 5 around Carter/Tyson/Jaquez/Jovic/Adebayo.

Jaylon and Devin would add to the hair game Jaquez started.

Edey should grow his out too. Like Steven Adams.

Look at our very own JonG get tv time. And Windy confirms teams in the top five believe the top five players are not franchise talent. That they are at best 4 or 5th guy on the roster and the salary for the top five isn’t worth the talent.

He is the Herro replacement. He is an offensive player, his defense is ok.

Tbh, with how shaky our offense is, keep both of em. We don't have the luxury to get rid of a scorer lol

What funny is I think Clingan's rise has helped Edey's a lot. If a 7'3" drop big with a high waist and little to no offensive game can go top 5, what's keeping a 7'4" drop big that won player of the year 2 times in a row from being in the lottery? Especially when Edey outperformed Clingan in the combine.

Bridges is undervalued. I suspect that he could have been gotten for the cheap.

If he goes to Philly, they would be my favorite to win the East next year.

I like Bridges but that's high praise. I think the 76ers have to do some remodeling. I think 76ers have to decide if Maxey is a two guard or a point. I think they have been leaning towards him being a 2. Can Bridges be a legit number 3? Maybe

Entering his prime, 3 level scorer, an uber athlete, and defends.

He did not shoot well at the combine and assuming not very well in his workout here either. The free throw percentage and clunky shooting gives me mini Winslow vibes.
