I am aware of this though I am not from RipCity.

If you were aware of it then why did you say that the whitest team in the NBA is in the whitest city?

Honest answer I recounted it to late and didn't feel like backspacing and re-wording.

Caldwell-Pope continues to one of the htoter name in the draft.... I'm hearing the Wolves, especially, are enamored with Caldwell-Pope, and he's the sleeper at No. 9. The Wolves desperately need shooting in their backcourt, and I heard his workout in Minnesota was terrific.

I don't really see how KCP is still seen as a sleeper at this point. Zgoda announced that he was the favorite even before he worked out.

Then again, Ford may just be basing this on Zgoda's tweet and KCP saying the workout went amazing in his interview afterwards.

I hope not, I like KCP more than Shabazz or any of the bigs outside of Noel (I see the appeal of Len, I just have an irrational fear of big men with things like stress fractures at a young age and he doesn't seem like a special enough prospect for me to overcome it on his account).

#9 (plus D.Will): McLemore, Oladipo
#9: McCollum, KCP
#26: Ledo, Crabbe, Karasev, Snell, Bullock, Rice Jr.

My #26 wish list is similar. I'd nix Snell and Rice Jr. and add Archie Goodwin. KCP, one of them, Mbakwe in the 2nd round and I'll be a happy camper.

People keep quoting what Ford had to say about Pope. he also said we were very interested in Shabazz and said Crabbes shooting wowed us in his workout.

KCP @ 9, trade Williams for Shabazz, Crabbe @ 26

Hmmm, aren't shooting abilities in workouts meaningless? Even the much maligned Wes Johnson was supposed to be a good shooter in practice.

Well Flip has come out and said that #9 and Williams was too much to move up 5 spots. He said he would need something back in return. I agree with him. I'm only moving Williams and #9 to move up if we get the player we want and some incentive. Bobcats fans want all our picks, Williams, and for us to take back Ty Thomas, so that's an easy no.

Steven Adams would be a solid back up big for us. He runs the floor well, and plays D. Basically all we need from a back up center.

I think Steven Adams looks like a big fat bust in the making. No offense to Grits - I love Kiwis, Flight of the Conchords, and the Lord of the Rings backdrops.

I think the same thing about Shabazz. Maybe him and Adams will fall in the gutter together.

Think your wrong about Shabazz. He may not be an all star, but he's going to be solid. He can be a better version of Aaron Afflalo, easily, in my mind.

Like I've been saying all along...

Mark Remme ‏@MarkRemme 36m
Flip said Zeller has more offensive game than saw at Indiana. Can face up and shoot well. Adamant he is a PF, not a C, in the NBA.

Flip said Gobert is a project player, will need 3 years to develop in the league before making a big impact.
