He gives me Louis Williams / Kyrie vibes

Know nothing about his game. Obviously wasn't watching any NBL. Timeline just seems strange but hoping he hits

"Ranked in the 50s" come on man.

Projected to go 52, 54, 56

Kind of funny and sad but his clips look much better than marjon lol def more natural

I think Horst is trying to fill each spot with youth.

AJ, Marjon, Ajax, Liv, ....

Expect a big for the 2nd rounder tomorrow

Well, he's a Buck now so I'm just going to blindly hope for the best. Just doesn't seem like the best use of the pick when this team could use someone a bit more polished or trade it in a package for a vet to maximize this window. Maybe this will be Horsts "Giannis" shot in the dark and it pays off.

Is it possible one of those broccoli haircut zoomers in the draft room is a genius and can see the future? Did they see AJ becoming a star? I'll go with that theory.

I'm off the ledge.

Definitely better than the Marjon pick (in the moment). At least he can't drink legally.

If you squint you can see a really quick, tall point guard. May not happen, but it's a home run swing.

I could've really gotten behind this pick if they had somehow gotten Shannon or Scheierman at 33.

Hoping for the best. But this didn't help:

Whose job is it to get the coffees? Seems like everyone in this room is a candidate.

The dude could turn out to be the next Ja Morant for all I care, he still would’ve been available at 33 :lol:

James1980 · Post #230 » by **James1980** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 3:28 am

More importantly, he won't be ready to contribute until after our window, we needed help now.

Simons is a pretty good projection for him if he hits.

I'm not trying to start an argument, but if they get Filipowski at 33, would it make any difference if the spots were flipped?

Filipowski at 33 is just fine with me.

Yea, he would have been my guy at 23 had I seen that. I'm excite.

Watch on YouTube

Based on this, reminds me of Dalen Terry, who I loved coming out and still want to steal from the Bulls.

buckboy · Post #235 » by **buckboy** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 3:32 am

28 of my top 30 gone.

And I can't imagine Chomche being the pick.

Hoping for Filipowski or Bona.

Who cares? What does that mean? It obviously doesn't mean it's where he's going to be drafted, right?

He's like Ray Allen without perfect jump-shooting form.

Kind of a big difference.

unless he just wanted someone he has to give ZERO minutes to this year

He’s the best of the first 23 in terms of demonstrated capacity to play the role he will be asked to play for the Bucks.

He looks looks good in those warm up clips. smoother handle than kalatzakis, better ups than portis, better shot than umm przbilla (?) wider wingspan than tj ford. younger than beauchamp.

Well, we could have traded down and got 5 2nd round picks and still gotten him.
