I couldn’t commit to it cuz I just hadn’t seen him enough yet. So at the time I had Jalen Johnson in at #5 on my board. But that’s changing now, lol

On the real, things are still fluid for this draft but I like his game and think his versatility will get a team to snag him quick. He's raw but projects very well....with the right team.

if Kuminga just gets a consistent outside shot he will be a problem...he is just bullying guys on drives.

Its looking like a strong 6 man top of the draft tier: Cade, Suggs, Mobley, Green, Kuminga, and Jalen Johnson will make up that tier in some sort of order.

and outside of that, there are some really interesting prospects in the second tier: Ziare, Moody, Bouknight, Kispert, Springer, and Scottie Barnes.... Maybe Keon Johnson

Johnson being the guy most likely to slip from tier 1 - tier 2

That is deeper than most drafts. Usually the first tier is 3-4 guys, and the second tier is 3-4 guys. This is at the very least a deep draft and we should look at it from that angle. Having two picks is a boon.

JJ is an interesting kid since he combines Obi-like physical tools with a Julius-like game, but I still like Ziaire a good bit more. Just feels like he has a higher realistic ceiling with his stroke, intelligence, & versatility as a defender than JJ has with his power & size...though the playmaking is a wash, as both are high-level creators for their respective positions.

Our tank is plenty potent as is. We need to continue getting better at developing young talent...whether that results in more ping pong balls, or fewer.

Hopefully there will be some all-possessions vids for the GL kids until they start playing some evening games.

Anyone who saw the game; do you have concerns that RJ, Kuminga & Julius would get in one another's way? RJ & JR are thriving together, but would a third bully ball guy whose shot is secondary to his power-slashing just cram things up too much (especially with Mitch at the 5)?

Despite having been abnormally lucky with health & the virus; we have just 2 more wins (only 1 loss less) than the 4th worst team in the league (Orlando)...and we're not catching Washington, Detroit, or Minnesota (6 wins each) without significant injuries to Julius & Rowan.

The tank is perfectly safe.

Terrence Clarke is someone who I think will be a major steal if developed correctly. I like him a lot more than BJ Boston, sorta the same way I liked Quickley over Maxey
