Hopefully these guys answer the questions we wanted solved two seasons ago.

Point guard depth and guard play + shooters + bench big.

This draft + players acquired hopefully resolved those issues.

This guy only missed out on being a "Masai-level Senior FRP" by 1 benchmark (shooting efficiency). Great value for pick 45.

Maybe they have an agreement with Chomche if he isn't drafted?

What is Brown still doing on this team?

Are we really gonna let him walk for nothing...

There will be roster moves to shed some of that in the offseason for picks or prospects.

if chomche isn't drafted, we may have promised him a 2-way and sign him after the draft is done.

Who the f is Jamal Shead?

Big 12 POY and DPOY. First Team All-American consensus. National DPOY.

Wasn’t Malachi Flynn a dpoy. Plus he could actually shoot coming out of college

I assume they looked at the rest of the draftees and figured one or more would be available to sign after the draft.

Also, stocking up on G's makes it more likely BB/GTJ get moived which is fine by me.

And we repleished length with a ton of wingspan and big time high motor players.

Ok Masai is back. This seems like a home run draft

He's not gonna suck. Right?

So Shead and Mitchell gonna fight for the backup role I guess.

alpngso · Post #55 » by **alpngso** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 9:43 pm

I really wanted Sasser last year. I'm glad Shead found a way to Toronto. Really short but if a short guard makes it in the league from this draft, he's high on the list

Big 12 is a lot better than Mountain West wouldn't say from a competition perspective? Houston has put six guys in the NBA in the last 4 years. Quentin Grimes, Jarace Walker, Marcus Sasser, Nate Hinton, Dejon Jarreau and now Shead.

Three prospects are too many - Bobby

That was BS anyways, Shead and Mogbo are both experienced, especially Shead, he can play some backup minutes immediately.

Oh no. Just like the stock market, opposite of general consensus is usually true. If too many of you are happy with this draft, that's a bad sign.

I wanted to see pitch forks from the fans. That's when we know Masai is doing the right things!

We got a much better prospect in Koloko coming back
