My concern of kasparas jakucionis is his speed however this is an age of Slow ass point guards. Luka, Brunson and SGA are slow as molasses points that leverage fouls in their slow game. How long will it take for kasparas jakucionis slow game will it take for his slow pace to be a positive?

Probably not. Roster spots at premium. We will be working the undrafted market for our new set of two way players. Probably hoping Watkins goes undrafted and looking for a developmental backup big

Was l2ms last night when I thought Yang went to Memphis a year after Edey.

Then I found out he got traded.

Now I just realized that he went to PLand to play behind Clingan.

Wow.

Not that it means anything, but ESPN said Suns and Heat were biggest winners in round 1. I'm assuming this is in regards to players other than Flagg and Harper. They had Jakucionis as #11 best player. Not much you can do with the 20th pick.

Yeah, nobody had him falling.

Hopefully we will reap the reward.

Personally I wish Wiggins and Spo could fix their relationship. If they resign Mitchell the Heat now how two point guards so Wiggins passing isnt a big issue. Wiggins can be more a finisher and defender than a playmaker.

Soon to tell if he's going to pan out - But my gut feeling is his BB IQ will be an advantage.

If you think Jovic is untouchable then spend money get a 2nd and acquire Bogoljub Marković they are almost identical prospects. If Jovic is some crazy hybrid player you can play 1-5 the best thing would be to have 2 of them.
