yeah Udoka is going to have a tough job there


Houston's roster makes 0 sense, and the lack of passing guards hurt Sengun's development last year for sure.


Ya, their front office has made all terrible choices except Sengun. The roster makes zero sense, you have one guy with tons of bbiq and everyone else are just iso guys who can't pass.

A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. That's why.

But that's his downside.

No thats his backside.

Lowry's upside is mental and psychological.

at this late point of the draft the risk/rewards really skews in his favour imo

I'm glad the league also sees that Leonard Miller has Achiuwa-like bbiq

O-Max!

Finally one of the Canadian guys goes off the board. Good pick for Sacramento too. He should step in as a Harrison Barnes replacement sooner rather than later.

Wow Lively and O-Max, what a damn draft for Dallas. These are two massive hustlers and defenders.

Nice pick from Dallas. Everyone's seemingly wheeling and dealing, but us.
