Send em my way for free if they get drafted to OKC

Sorber to OKC is not bad. Hartenstein is not long for that org and he can take that role

Sir....you absolutely smoked this draft! 4 out of your 6 picks went top 13
congrats.

Thanks man. To be fair, I had 3 lotto picks though! But as long as they get to the right spot and get the opportunities, that's all I care about. I think Egor ended up in the best spot. I hope the Nets get him some 3 & D guys and a shooting coach ASAP

Solid defensive center, but more groundbound (not as rim runner-ish), with more passing ability. Really productive guy. I would have grabbed him if mecca hadn't. Yea...he is kinda iHart-ish.

At risk of sounding like Melo, Boston is a great destination for Gonzalez. If he can play he'll play next year.

8/8 ... let's go. Don't need to watch this 4 hour draft tomorrow...

Post #195 » by **Manhattan Project** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 4:00 am

Maluach ends up in Phoenix, he'll get eased into the NBA behind Williams.
Carter Bryant ends up in San Antonio, enamored with that landing spot.
Newell ends up in Atlanta, could be very interesting depending on who they start.
McNeeley ends up in Charlotte to bring some shooting.

Not the worst overall.

Walter Clayton Jr ends up in Utah. They traded up for him so must think highly of him.

They have a ton of guards (not necessarily all good :lol:

) in Collier, Sexton, George, Clarkson, etc. I would have to think at least one of those guys is getting shipped out. Sexton/Clarkson probably the leading candidates

I initially didn’t like the pairing of Clayton Jr in Utah but maybe there’s a path to legitimate playing time year one

Yep! They have a lot of mouths to feed offensively. Clayton Jr gives them reliable shooting. I’d be stunned if they don’t move Sexton and/or Clarkson
