No Wright wasn't a good pick because he passed on Portis....

what has Portis done? He was a rookie and barely played

I think/hope the was sarcasm. Delon is clearly a good player, Masai was right on that one, crazy how people are so quick to jump when Masai has done a great job in the past.

Delon is great, he is buried behind Cojo and Lowry but he is damn solid.

We could have got Pascal at 38. GS paid 2.4 million for the pick. Why couldn't we do that? Cheap owners thats why

You're wasted if you think JV can/should play together at any time.

I told people a while ago, he's as quick as Bargnani who played Power Forward. Obviously, Bargnani was a sack of crap, but this is a comparison in relation to quickness only. Poeltl can play beside JV, no doubt about it.

No he can't. Hes a Center! You can't have 2 Centers on the floor at the same time this isn't the 60's.

You're sipping too much GSW kool-aid. A JP/JV front court is no slower than Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.

Poetl 's ceiling on this team is 15 mpg behind JV.

Wish we were more aggressive considering how much talent was in 2nd round. Really like what GSW has done.

And what reason do we have to doubt him? Cause Bruno hasn't panned out? You're a clown.

That's why you draft BPA. You can trade him afterwards.

Yes, but Z-Bo has a face up game. JV and Poeltl's offence is going to come from the same spot on the floor. The spacing would be terrible.

My goodness. Wanting an actual Power Forward is not a bad thing. FFS. I hate this board sometimes.

It doesn't matter you slot the rookies where you can. We now have two good prospects reunited as teammates from an excellent program. Regardless of what we have done with this ECF team I really like the players Masai has drafted. Both Poetl and Wright were drafted as much on defence as anything else. Both had leadership roles. They do not do anything about LeBron but they build a base farther into the future.

There's ONE basketball. People are so lost in GSW's eyes that they don't understand posting up is the easiest way to score. Just because Steph and Klay make 3's look easy doesn't make it so.

Then suck up the Siakam pick and shut up.

Rockets getting Onuaku and Zhou is an amazing draft
