This pick tells me we're trying to win now. There isn't a development time. We're getting guys who can produce immediately.

Kid is a crazy athlete, a DAWG on defense, and he can shoot the 3.

Love this pick.

But what's his downside? Why was he a second rounder?

Already 24 and undersized at the 2 height wise

Well, you guys wanted a shot creator. This guy is a microwave scorer plus he plays dogged defense. You run him as an off ball point guard with Scottie and BI running the offense and let him cook.

One of the better athletes, and defenders in this draft.

Crazy athlete, think Derick Jones Jr athletically

too bad he's only 6'1" lol but he's gonna beast at the point of defense.

defense first guys, hoping Barnes develops that 3

6'1.5 barefoot, but 6'7.5 wingspan and built like a tank.

Is he a PG combo guard or small wing ? Future Ochai replacement? Battling Walter, 3rd string PG?

Who’s on the trade block on who would want to take RJ? Please no Alex Len

Portland has 2 centres on expiring contracts. Do you fancy Deandre Ayton? Robert Williams?

No to both.

I think the expiring contracts are the key. I can stomach a season of Ayton or Time Lord...then appreciate the cost savings.

Hes a little small, but I had this kid mocked near the 1st round.

WCJ was the offense on Florida, while Martin was the defense. He was disruptive out there.

tells me they have a trade on the table for RJ and one of the bench guys

A bigger Shead with less playmaking. A little shocked we didn't nab Raynaud, but they're obviously prioritizing perimiter defence

They must have some deals lined up for undrafted FAs, Nembhard being one of them

You play him as a 1 defensively and a 2 on offense.

He'll defend pgs. That is what matters.

Nembhard is a midget. You take him undrafted.

Same. I was sure it would be Raynaud.
