Folks, as I predicted, we just drafted the next DWade.

Trading down to #6, we might have wound up with VJ anyway. If not, we could've had someone just about as good plus another FRP. Wish we could've traded down. Maybe we still will. He's wearing that hat, but we will see if it lasts until tomorrow.

Ace stood out. Rejected Daryl and Daryl caved.

I can only trick my mind to hope that this guy turns into jalen Williams

Perkins is so dumb that he thinks VJ is a wing man...

You know what!! To hell with Ace!!! VJ wants to be here, and he seems like a great dude with a great family. To the moon!!

Not if they're being stubborn and cave right before they have to give us their pick so we can pick our own guy.

I'm OK with this. Seems like a good kid. Love his defense and intensity... I think he'll work hard to get good.

Perk is correct that he’s an undersized wing right now. Hope he can develop some guard skills.

Hornets grab Kon!!!

I smell a trade coming for the Sixers....

Kon is a weird pick by Charlotte.

Brandon Miller plays the same position

LEKON DRAFTED TOP FOUR, WOW.

This VJ fellow better be the next Dwade. Ace noo!!

I think him being a workah with a good attitude is kinda underrated. If you look at like Indiana, Boston, OKC, it seems like teams without big egos and good vibes. Even if VJ doesn’t become a star, hopefully he can become a winning player that will be a building block for the culture we want to build in the post Embiid era.

Well, i feel reinforced in my ignorant opinion now that Kon went 4 :lol:
