So, he can return to NOP as backup to Lonzo Ball?

I want to be there for that pickup game of HORSE.

This is a nuts draft night with trades everywhere. Meanwhile in Orlando, nothing. Looks like we are going for the never win a championship lets be the 7-9 seed until 2030 strat. Lets see if it pays off for em.

Edit: It didn't put the green font. LOL

Not sure we need to move up though unless it makes sense. If they're asking for Bamba or Isaac or Gordon, not sure if it's worth it for Garland or whoever else we'd be speculated to get.

Alright. Langford, huh?

Don't you guys want to see a 7'7" beast roam the paint for us 10 minutes a game?

Fall CHANGES THE MOMENTUM of the game immediately! Shooters freak out and miss shots.

Ive seen this at all of Fall's home games.

we've been very quiet. Interested to see if we attach our 1st to move salary, or not.

Hopefully, Romeo's thumb was the issue with his shot.

So does Langford wear 0 and AG 00?

I'd be super excited if we got Langford. Dude reminds me of Joe Johnson.

Yeah.. despite majority here of wanting NAW, I'm actually in the Langford group cuz I think we need a no-conscience scorer more than anyone else.

To heck with wingspan, I could get onboard the Herro train if he keeps shooting when he gets the ball

That was against kids .
He'll get trashed by everybody in NBA who runs faster than glen davis.

For some last minute research, check this Romeo Langford montage.

Watch on YouTube

Check those finger rolls! He's got such a soft touch around the basket and seems to do well to find the space to put his shot up in. I do wonder how he'll go against bigger competition, but he seems like he can always find somewhere to get his shot off, and with his soft touch, it's pretty accurate.

He seems to have made a pretty reliable move out of that step back 3, too, despite the %'s.

He looks big for 6'6, too. Good, man sized body and frame. Good for drawing contact.

And he has a knack for being able to keep moving with the ball. Certainly settles for 3's and stepback 3's a bit too much, but he seems able to keep probing without picking up his dribble.

Watch him. We'll be very happy if we get him.

that’s what tankers and the “potential” crew were saying about Suns, TWolves etc etc etc

reality doesn’t care about draft hype...that’s why games are played

What does Atlanta making good draft selections and trading up for better value have to do with tanking? Atlanta seems to have a plan that’s paying off in a 2-3 years window. Orlando still has Hennigan guys... cool.

that you don’t know is exactly why you post so many hot takes that lack historical awareness

I figured Detroit would take Langford 1 spot ahead of us (continuing the trend of missing on a guy by 1 spot). Hopefully they go for a different wing and give us the opportunity to get him!

Yeah Langford looks nice. I’d be happy with him.

Sam Vecenie has Herro at 14 NAW at 16 Langford at 23 now woah.

EasternMagic · Post #140 » by **EasternMagic** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 11:06 pm

Who does DraftExpress have Detroit taking?
