Is a guy with that big of a red flag the one you want to hang your hat on ?


I have faith that his shot will come around and in the meantime we'd have an awesome PG who pass like Nash used to.

Or you take KP who's a comparable passer, and he's a legit scorer

If it's just Bulls pick 12, Vucevic and Ball for Pick 10 and Beal.... thats not too bad.

Ace Bailey refused to work out for Jazz and Jazz still drafts him...

Is there a trade after?? Maybe with Thunder

KJ or Maluach will be there...Malachite seems high risk high reward. I like Coward but 10 seems high.

Just don't want anyone with a poor motor

Brooklyn picked right. Real Madrid is never wrong in grading European Talent

I'm hoping Blazers take him (because I don't see Suns taking him).

Suns are probably taking Maluach. High bust potential, but high ceiling.

Give me the big Duke C
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

Just don't get creative and use 10 to draft a guy projected to go in the late first round please!

lol Toronto takes CMB. Thank goodness!

It's odd though....they have Barnes and Ingram as similar sized playmaking wings
