What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

I think Maluach could be the best player in the draft after 5 years. He's got Wemby like potential if he's developed right and has a work ethic.

The last white guy taken #1 (Blake is light skin but really is biracial, as is Cade and Paolo Banchero is Latin American) was........Andrea Bargnani.

You can cherry pick stats to say this is a 7th pick team, but if you actually watch the games the eye test says we're winning the 1st pick.

You are correct. Dad is Italian and Mom is black.

Again...last white guy taken #1 is Andrea Bargnani. We are destined.
