5 picks left to our pick, and you mentioned 5 players. Whats the odds all 5 will be gone? (I dont think mcdaniels will be gone).

Same, he used to be called Nikola Tskitizvilli back then

LOL I was a sucker for Bender too so I clearly dont know wtf I'm talking about.

He looks like a very skilled player; I just can't see him surviving the rigors of the NBA with that frame.

There goes the draft.

Maybe at 33 they can nab Xavier Tillman or someone and he can surprise. Not that this franchise will respect anyone drafted after 25 with minutes.

Skita! He looked really good in one preseason game for the Wolves, way back when.

The much improved iowa Wolves roster getting drafted late first this year.

Somebody real surprising will still be available when we pick and we won't take him. Then we all melt down.

If he cant make it in OKC he wouldn't make it anywhere. They'll give him every opportunity to succeed. They have good vets, good coaching and no desires to compete for the next few years, unless they cash in some of those picks.

Rosas cant do that to us lol

Damn Achiuwa gone at 20. He was probably the guy I wanted most of the remaining.

Baseline81 · Post #555 » by **Baseline81** » Thu Nov 19, 2020 3:00 am

There goes Precious to Miami.

I hope we take Achiuwa simply because of fit. Skilled all around forward .

Way too many good players left. Just cut evans spellman, trade okogie later:)

Ricky Rubio
D'Angelo Russell
Karl-Anthony Towns
Josh Okogie
Jarrett Culver
Anthony Edwards
Jake Layman
Juancho Hernangómez (RFA)
Jarred Vanderbilt
Naz Reid
Malik Beasley (Probably not coming back RFA)
#25
#28
#33
MLE
BAE
Jordan McLaughlin (RFA)
Kelon Martin (RFA)
Omari Spellman
Jacob Evans
Jaylen Nowell

That is the list. There are plenty of obvious cuts that can be made, but we can't accommodate for three to four rookies.

Wouldn't mind my New Zealand Breaker boy RJ Hampton. Though we are overloaded with guards.
