I disagree, he is a guy I would be happy to take with a second rounder. I missed, who are you still hoping for?

He’s a terrible shot chucker

At this point the only guy left I want is Trayce Jackson Davis

Sure, at NC State he was, but what if he were in a proper system. You could argue that FVV was a terrible shot chucker at Wichita State and he's now an all-star.

I'm indifferent about TJD, seems like he could be a 13th man, but so can about 2000 other guys. I would be fine with him. I wouldn't mind Azuolas Tubelis. I think there is a stretch forward/center off the bench there.

Spurs are probably going to turn Cissoko into a good player.

Said things like "yeah you know, we'll see how it plays out over the next few years" didn't seem happy or excited about Gradey at all, just "yeah we had him in that range and we need shooting and he can't really stay with the super athletic guys on defense but by now he probably knows how to play against them" blah blah blah

to be fair, when does Bobby ever actually seem happy or excited? I guess based on his answer about #3 we at least wanted Scoot. OKC scooping a prospect ahead of us was always a risk.

Yeah, I don't agree with this take at all. He's got things to work on, for sure, but he was a big part of NC State's turn around this year and had some big games against good competition. In an off-ball complementary role, he absolutely has a chance to stick in the league. His spot up shooting is particularly good, and he's got more athletic pop attacking the rim than you'd think.

Maybe I'm wrong for saying but I'd legit already rather try giving TJD time over Precious if we picked him up lol I can at least see a clear role for him and big improvement in bball IQ. Give some of the athleticism of Precious with more of the footwork of Yak.

I wonder where Chris Livingston ends up. Klutch made a big deal about teams not picking him because he had a preferred landing spot. Running out of picks now.

Wish Wilson went undrafted

Marquis Nowell as an undrafted guy is my pick. Guy is such a good passer and tough.

100%. Precious is an air head. He's all athleticism.

Yeah, that's much ado about nothing. That's how Bobby always is in press conferences.

It does seem from his answers that it was Portland who ultimately pulled the plug on the negotiations for #3 and Scoot, but I guess we'll see what comes out about that, if anything.

Minnesota took the Jaylen Clark gamble. Might look like a very smart move in a year

Post #1735 » by **DG88** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 4:34 am

Jaylen Clark off the board

Bruin · Post #1736 » by **Bruin** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 4:36 am

Hey look it’s Dick!

Bruin · Post #1737 » by **Bruin** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 4:37 am

Clark is the best defender in the class. Real shame he blew his Achilles in March. Still feel so bad for him

Wait Durisic didn't get drafted?

Not yet. I wouldn't expect him to. He sucks major butt juice.
