He's our tank commander.

I wonder how happy he is going to be even with this influx of young players we realistically still aren't a playoff team for at least another couple years.

If we pick Reynaud, we probably have a trade line-ed up for Richards.

We have to figure something out ASAP. Richards was decent enough and put in a good amount of effort, but someone else could use him and especially so seeing he's on a really friendly contract.

If you can get a player, lower ceiling, high floor maybe. Dare I say TJ McConnell that just is positive

I am willing to be a bit more conservative for a solid steady PG presence

I mean, we already had a far more ready, experienced PG with a smaller stature just this past season.....I'm not ready to run that tape again


That’s fair and Gillespie is still around

Go for the talent!!!

Proctor even Reynaud

Truly BPA


3 best talents left on the board are:

1- Maxime Raynaud. Pau Gasol.
2- Kobe Brea. Klay Thompson.
3- John Tonje. Young D Booker.

Looks like the kid can shoot. Doesn't appear to do much else. He's 6'7 with a 6'5 wingspan. Hoping for the best!

I enjoyed watching Brea this year during the NCAA tournament. Just couldn't get his shots to fall during that game against Tennessee.

Called it on Reynaud. SAC getting a solid big and one we're going to see plenty of during the season.
