Take Windler or Carsen Edwards if you want to reach.

the range is nice but posting up in a league that's already pretty much gone away from that? why reach if you could've got him in the second round where everyone else had him.....if my mother had a mock she would have him in the second round


sure, its still nice when you have a mismatch on the wing. At 230, he can body up. I agree though, feeling let down right now.

i don't know, i guess it just feel like such a reach for me.....i guess his best case comp is paul milsap?

no, people know that ACL is Anterior Cruciate Ligament.

I'd like to place a friendly bet with you that Chuma will definitely play next year.

ok. also make a friendly bet he isnt shooting 3's right now?

Hopefully he has better luck than Jabari Parker.

I would say he is somewhere in between AG and Tobias.

Na, I'm willing to concede there. It doesn't make sense for that to be current video. But I think you're wrong stating he'll sit out all next season. So what would you like to bet Dr.?

The Celtics are clearing out cap space.

Could make a serious run at Nikola Vucevic.

Why does everyone just assume 16 was too early? You don’t know what’s available to move back it’s the **** 16th pick if you love him take him. Who cares if you can move back and get a second round pick you could have bought for cash if you wanted it so badly anyways
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

He's already a better defender than Parker.

I really don't see the Tobias comparison. Tobias could create his own shot and has a great mid range game. I have seen the highlights of chum he basically in the post or spotting up for 3 off the pick most of the time.

Jordan Poole is the first player that I saw as an undrafted guy to be drafted. We'll see how it pans out. You have to give the GSW front office the benefit of the doubt.

He is definitely not Jabari. I am a huge Jabari fan, while he is a great offensive player he is a terrible defender.

I just think he is more of a natural scorer than AG is. He hasn't shown much of shot creation but he seems to be decent in the post like Tobias is.

Still some names out there many were talking about as high as #16. Any chance we make a deal to snag one of them?
