He has picked up some good bigs over the years outside of the top 10. Sabonis at 11, Adams at 12, Ibaka at 24.

Eh, Presti has a clear strategy in the mid-round, which is high-variance. That's how he ended up with Jalen.

It isn't necessarily bad, but it does mean he will miss some.


If that was the case, you pick Jean Beringer in that spot. Sorber on that team is a throw away pick. They already have the other Jaylin Williams who plays the exact same and cant get on the floor.


You are so rigid with your thoughts. Many people thought Sorber had a higher ceiling than Beringer.

He's pretty similar to Hartenstein, no? Similar measurables (shorter but longer), similar role on offense/defense, decent passer for a big. I see this pick as clearly being Hartenstein's replacement in 2027. It doesn't necessarily make them better but it makes them more sustainable

Sorber is a FAR better defender than Monroe. Its not really close.

Greg was pretty lazy on D.

Queen is much more likely to be the NBA version of Monroe.
