do they go ausar, walker or whitmore?


Before Shams ruins it, my guess is one of Ausar or Whitmore...I heard Weaver say he's looking to take some big swing on potential.

Walker seems like the safe pick but who knows...

Very disappointing, because he's the best fit imo and the guy many of us have been calling for all season

I hope he's there for us if we want him

Is there a non ESPN feed,? Thanks for spoiling it.

Thompson twins are >66% to not get a 2nd contract in my opinion

It’s wild that Amen Thompson is 20 years old and couldn’t dominate high school kids. Excellent athlete though but man, that’s another risky pick. Kid has skills.

Bufkin made it public he wants us to draft him, it was "hush hush" who wanted him and we're one of maybe 2 places that can confirm not only having a workout but multiple with him.

At this point, I'll actually be stunned if we don't draft Bufkin.

Great kids both of the twins. I think they'll both be good.
