One thing I noticed about Tyler Herro is, he's really good with his hands. In the two games he's played so far, he's picked off quite a few passes and either snags or tips away rebounds pretty well. Considering he has a short wingspan, this is something that'll help him overcome that.

Still not a fan of the pick and still would have prefered Doumbouya+Schofield but hope I am proven wrong, with Butler here I have cooled down a bit...

I remember everyone was fixated on Bosh or the Russian guy head case ( I forgot his name) but Bosh was picked just before the Heat’s turn by Toronto. I actually was in love with the Wade pick as we needed a slasher/finisher badly. I was at the Orlando Rookie league and that’s when I truly saw how special Wade was.

And yes, Wade was criticized for being an undersized G and not 6’6”, 7” or 8” ala Kobe.

Maciej Lampe was the Polish player many analysts were super hyped about. I think he ended up going in the 2nd round.

I never understood the Wade undersized comments. He's an inch and a half or so shorter than Kobe. That's where the size differences end. Wade measures up well in every other category. The height thing is so overblown.

To my credit, I didn't know chit about Wade. I followed the previously draft closely and lost my chit when we drafted Caron Butler though.

I have my guys prior to the draft, but I'll leave the real draft up to the experts. If Herro was the Heat's guy at 13, and not Nassir, then there's a damn good reason for that.

In recent drafts I loved the Justise pick and was good with Bam. The Napier pick was a Lebron move, and that's a mistake every time.

I was mad as hell about Bol not getting drafted. The whole lead up to that pick, and the high it generated was something else. Then to see him get traded....damn, that pissed me off. Had about 3 or 4 Brother Thelonius' in my system too, which added to the emotional response.

Can't wait to see KZ (hopefully Sunday)

We will likely dominate China today. Everyone will likely play for first time as we have an off day tomorrow.

Excited to finally see:

Kendrick Nunn
Tyler Herro
Duncan Robinson

I believe we were hyped over Qyntel Woods that year.
