Re: Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread
Jaylon Tyson was my other guy. Watched a ton of his games in person and I think he can be a really high level connective piece.
He had to do EVERYTHING for Cal last year so I expect his shooting numbers to go up with a reduced role in the NBA.

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread
Similar vibes to Faried coming out but actually has some really good passing moments. If any sort of jumper comes around he could be a problem
Either way he’ll be straight energy. He will be a fun one to watch and root for

Dam TC...you should have got him in the 27-30 range for 7 years of control but atleast you got him...
I know nothing about this guy-I'm just assuming the Knicks seem to like him...

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread
Mogbo is a compelling athlete and love the passing. One of those "don't overthink it" guys. Question, like Obi, is how much he can use his profile in the pros where everyone is just bigger.

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread
Am I wrong or are we signing free agents now instead of after the draft? I thought I read in the rules that free agency starts after drafting is done or am I just illiterate?
