Re: Draft Day: Round 1
Yes yes yes , Flemming is gonna be there at 31. Don’t **** this up Connelly. Wolves could have two of the best in the entire draft just based on potential.

Didn't expect him to be a 1st rounder.

Re: Draft Day: Round 1
Thiero for me unless we get a great offer. Would be fine with a few other guys, Flemming for sure.

Re: Draft Day: Round 1
Thiero, Flemming, Kalkbrenner and Raynaud fall out of first round!

Re: Draft Day: Round 1
Flemming dropping to 31 is shocking to me. Thought for sure he was top 18-20.

Re: Draft Day: Round 1
My final thought on today's draft is if we were going to draft a C at 17 Beringer was probably the best one remaining. I'm guessing we trade 31 for a future protected first round pick. If we keep it Fleming or Kam Jones.

Re: Draft Day: Round 1
Yeah, give me Flemming. 6'9" Work out psychos with athleticism, good feel, an outside shot, good defensive instincts and effort on both sides always have a place at the table.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Re: Draft Day: Round 1
Take Rasheer Fleming tomorrow and redeem yourself TC. You misread the draft.
All the guards were going early and 2 perfect backup centers with offensive potential who can play right now (Kalkbrenner, Reynaud) fell into your lap at 31 and now you can't take one of them because you took a project C at 17, who I'm sure looked super long and agile playing against all those incredible athletes in the Slovenian League.
Of course what we are actually going to get is either a massive reach for a guard or a series of trade downs that result in nothing much but cash being added.

Very stupid idea, and now no one will care about the second round tomorrow , it will blip in media.

Re: Draft Day: Round 1
Clear that we have wanted to upgrade our athleticism and play faster with our recent picks. Tsj, Dillingham and now Berringer to go with Ant, Jaden and Naz long term.

Re: Draft Day: Round 1
I wouldn't be surprised by Kalkbrenner at 31. He's pretty much the opposite of Beringer in that he's an older low ceiling/high floor player who can contribute right away. I don't know if he has starter upside, but he could easily be a solid rotation player for a long time.
Based on value I'd probably rate Penda, Fleming, and Thiero as the guys with the most upside left on the board. I do wonder if teams lost faith in Flemming's shooting during workouts causing him to fall.

Fleming and Brea would be my choice.

He looks about 6'10 in every video I watch.
Where we those measurements taken?
Euro measurments are also hard to trust.
Is that trustworthy enough for you?

I think it's more about giving the 1st round its own, bigger spotlight than it is about giving the second round its own day. Sure, tomorrow will be more like Day 3 of the NFL Draft, for the junkies and diehards.
