On the plus side, he did almost reach 3 ppg.
Once, when asked if he was concerned about his former coach Nate McMillan commenting that he has a selfish attitude, Jerome James replied, "I don't even know what he's talking about, I just worry about Jerome."

Does he have Bronny and Lebron’s agent or something?

Did we just secure Lebron?

I get the criticism of this pick, but I won't get bent out of shape about taking a guy at 23 if you love him and can't be certain he'll be there at 33.

A 160lb shooting guard who can't shoot is an interesting early scouting selection from my perspective.

MickeyDavis is one of the board mods, he's been around for a while.


Since the 50s I think.

Horst shouldn't be allowed to draft.

If you have the chance to draft a 167 pound dude who averaged 3ppg on 37% FG in the NBL in the first round, you just can't pass it up.

Horst in unserious in every single aspect of his job. We look like a joke, per usual when he’s in charge.

It's not a good sign when your highlight reel includes free throws

Seems like someone you take when you know you're not gonna control your first rounders in multiple years down the line. Go for the upside pick.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
