I think he likes waffles over pancakes which makes him first round talent in my mind

At the very least he can be a pain in the ass for 12-15 minutes for Jimmy Butler

He’s got that dog in him.

Don’t love Woj taking meniscus Injuries, but he’s a smart, athletic, defender/facilitator.

Great bench dude if he hits.

I like it. We did what the board has resoundingly always wanted to do more - use cash to buy second round picks - and turned it into a guy who reasonably addresses one of the more glaring holes not just on the bench but in general.

He's not a starter and that's ok. He may not be a player at all and that's ok. At least we tried. Now, commence overreactions.

Love this pick! Still some hope he can develop even a decent wide open spot up 3 shot in which case he will be a very valuable rotation guy over the next few years as he does so many other things on the court. Great move Horsty boy, needed another young wing to develop, really hope he works out.

This is house money. He has a bad knee. He can’t shoot. But we got him for free (owners bought a pick) and he’s a NBA athlete, passer, and defender. This is exactly what we have all been bitc’ing for.

He's on a small second round contract. He could have the world's worst medical report and I would still take him if I thought he was good. Not like it's a 3 year guaranteed contract or a MLE guy. If he breaks, cut him.

41 assists in the tourney is cool. Medical red flags for knee problems is not cool.

It's weird how little this guy scores though

Not sure he’s really enough of a ball handler to label him a PG. He’s a good passer but likely destined for a “guy that makes the extra pass” role in the NBA if he’s successful.

But that was during the Bud era. Griffin might be more apt to play young guys

A guard that can't shoot. Perfect for the Bucks.

He needs a completely new jumper. His shot is broken. It’s a second round pick so it’s worth the risk, but boy oh boy it’s tough to see a guy sag off a guard that far.

He was actually a decent pull up shooter off of screens if I recall correctly so there may be some hope that he turns into a Lonzo Ball type of big facilitator.

Did Horst pick him out of a hat?
