Have to say. Got to love the Euphoria our fans are getting from undrafted players lol...

It's like we are getting the chocolate bar with the golden ticket inside it.

What we need from him is not just scoring - it's equal parts playmaking and high level defense too.

Loving the vibes that are building with this roster. I have a feeling that we'll all be skipping far fewer games this season.

Come on, now. If you're IQ getting paid $32.5M/yr looking at a bunch of 2nd rounders, I think you'd feel pretty safe with your starting job.


His salary may be why he might get traded if any of the 2nd rounders work out. RJ is being tossed around as trade bait as well and teams like Boston are selling players for salary cap reasons.

They saw the defense with Davion and liked it. Now how about Davion with better 3 point shooting and better athleticism?

I like Hepburn. Great balance and change of direction. Solid vision. A few inches taller than Shead. Similar competitor on D. Plays with some swagger and flair. Nice handle. 3 ball % probably another that took a few too many tough contested ones in college. In a simplified bench role might get that up.

Kevin Pelton’s analytics heavy rankings that had CMB 10th also had Chucky at 46th. Above some notable late first round talents and players who went early second round.

Nice to have he and Martin on the 905 for a bit.

tried to look up his teammates' strengths to see how they impacted his abilities and damn Louisville shot (chucked) 1000 3s last season, but only hit 32.8%. I'm not sure if that's good or not. Insane volume.

ACC was crap, he transferred from Wisconsin where his offensive and defensive numbers were similar. Saw a huge jump in his ft% last season.

So who is getting waived for Hepburn, and what is going to happen to Martin?
