Yeah we'll see buddy lol...I bet you right now at least 2 players drafted after him will be better than him.

You can say that about anyone picked 58th and earlier. Gradey is nice. There are a lot of people in here who saw a pasty white kid and stopped scouting.

I know nothing about Dick...is he really that good to replace Trent as SG?


I think that's what the FO is betting on, they pretty much need to hit on this pick. He's a very good shooter, potential to be elite in that area, but I'm still not sure what direction they go at PG. Do they bring Fredderick back, or move Barnes to PG?

Do they trade for Lillard?

Apparently Cam Johnson is Gradey's best comp. I'd be thrilled to add a Cam Johnson type to our rotation.

But that's his downside.

No thats his backside.

Lowry's upside is mental and psychological.

Gradey is awesome. Don't understand the hate. People here acting like all he can do is shoot, look at his numbers he's a complete player.

We got the best shooter in the draft, for a team that can't shoot.
