Yeah I like KP and all, and realize he's the star of this franchise, but he has a bit of a diva in him that I'm not crazy about. Frank is genuinely a good kid that has been maliciously attacked by this fanbase all year. Has to open his instagram or twitter and have a bunch of fans just destroying him. Must really suck for a 19 yr old. Really hope he's able to shut everyone up.



Yeaaaa I noticed it too that KP sometimes act like a DIVA.


I see a little diva in him as well. The exit interview shows that. Just nothing like people make him out to be.

Frank definitely has that...honest humble team first approach to his game and his personality. Really hoping he blossoms over the next few seasons.

We have a new HC and a lot of work to do. Nailing this pick would go a loooong way to advancing our cause. I think Miles Bridges would be perfect here honestly. I really like what I see in him out of the few players I have watched around our pick. I like his build a little more than his brother. He finishes through contract and does not avoid it. I would LOVE Perry if they picked him.

Picking Miles would be great coz KP's injured. If Fiz views KP as a C we could have our very own death line up w/ Miles @ 4.. but passing on a guy like Mikal with an excellent defense w/ a great shooting touch to pair with Frank and to be a coach by Fiz is very unlikely.

I see Miles as a SF/PF tweener. Mikal is a little to thin. I really think Miles has NBA ready body right now. Could play the 4 with KP at the 5/injured and the 3 with KP at the 4.

Either one is cool with me...I just think I like Miles a little more.

For once in my life I feel that we actually are in a great position in this draft although not being too high the players in our area are what we need.

We have enough needs. I would hate to take a guard in this draft. SF/PF/C could all be taken IMO. SF is our biggest hole. I want Miles Bridges.

I strongly feel he would be a'great starting sf in the NBA, but if Mikal is still on the board he is a must for me.

I lean towards Mikal because he offers great production in two of the most important areas in the game now. Miles has a little jack of all master of none quality about him.

Frank won't be the next Kobe, lets get that outta the way.

If he worked on tightening his handles and developing a quicker release, he could develop into something special.

He will look very good on a contending team.

Fair enough. I like Mikal too. I just think Miles is more NBA ready physically. He can defend. He can shoot. He can finish through contact. He looks stronger. Gets above the rim. Either one would be a good pick for us.

That's my biggest fear with Mikal too. Dude has spent a ton of time developing his body over the past 3 years and still on the thin side.

Is Miles similar to Tatum?

that sounds like a contradiction.
There's something about an underdog that really inspires the unexceptional.

Hey, Bernard King may be a Hall of Fame NBA player, but Kinglee has League Pass and is the most intelligent poster on RealGM, so who really knows more about basketball?

Darius Garland/Cory Joseph
Klay Thompson/Shaedon Sharpe

Edit. I think he knows more than a dog's balls honestly.
