I thought we'd pick a 2 or 3 and shift Norman to whatever position the draftee didn't play, so this isn't surprising. Hopefully he recovers from that injury or else we have Carroll and Carroll Jr. on our hands.

He was supposedly a lotto pick before his injury, and people are saying it's a steal. I can get with it. Draft comps I've seen thus far are Al-Farouq Aminu and Luc Mbah a Moute. His biggest weakness is his shooting mechanics thus far, hopefully our staff helps him like they did for Norman Powell and DeRozan's midrange. OG with a 3-point shot is a very valuable get at 23 going forward.

Another bench warmer. DeRozan will be pleased.

Meh. But what do you expect with a 23rd pick.

Someday he will be a consistant backup unless he learns to handle and shoot well.

Huge wingspan...Vertical guys saying he's a small-ball 4

Wow. Vertical guys predicting he's gonna be an all-star one day.
