As expected, Amen goes #4 to the Rockets.

We're taking Leonard Miller at #33, big rebounding forward from the G-League. Dude looks so happy to be picked, wow.

Looks like it's going to Minnesota, though.

On the one hand, I'm not surprised that Miller has slipped; on the other, I'm surprised we let him go to the Wolves, and for the 2nds at that.

So to recap:

Wemby #1

#33 - Leonard Miller - we traded to Minny for two 2nds

#44 - Sidy Cissoko

Good haul without giving up assets while gaining some.

EDIT to add: Plus now the three undrafted additions of Rice, Bediako, and Stevenson.

Sweet. One of the players we actually worked out. And we were looking to shore up the bigs position. Not to say we're done doing so, but this gives us a good look.

^Man, he's looks remarkably thin in photos. His frame. I'm sure the team has plans to put him on a nutrition & weight plan. :wink:

It's always going to be a balance of strength that's right for him, but this gives some idea of the maturation of his body trending the right way:

One year! Of course, part of that is just biology in filling out. But he has a unique stretch/strength program with his trainer, too.

Broad shoulders are usually a good sign for being able to handle appropriate strength relative to his frame and muscle type (there are proper terms for this but I mean how some people are more wiry lean while others are more stocky thick).

Plus he said he loves breakfast tacos! :D

I mean, we've known that we'll be picking Wemby for over a month now but it still feels surreal. Feels even more surreal to actually see him wearing our colours.
