So that means Presti is either staying put or trading out of this draft.

If we punted 12 for a future first I'd be upset

Yea, I agree. I’d rather draft a guy I don’t like than trade back. I think some of our assets will be great picks but they are still unknown. Trading back with what might be me of our final own lotto picks is careless, in my opinion.

On the topic of Bilal and his position, I think he can likely play either F spot.

He measured 6'8 w/ a 7/2 WS and 194lbs. For comparison, Hendricks whom everyone sees as a PF is 6'9, 7'0 WS and 210lbs.

I can see Presti looking at Bilal in the way Dallas looked at DFS - listed at PF, but really he is guarding the teams best player and sticking to the 3PT line w/ occasional cuts to the rim on offense. SGA, Jalen and Josh are really good rebounders for their position, which is the one trait I can see Bilal not providing in that DFS role. So that weakness is alleviated w/ the way the roster currently is built.

Bilal has super wide shoulders, indicating a large frame. He can 100% put on 15-20lbs by the time he is 22-23 IMO.

Just remember, most of us were convinced we were taking Bouknight two years ago.

Presti not gonna pick a guy that isn't 100 committed to join us but I don't buy much on what Givony post the days prior to the draft

This is my favorite day of the year, you guys. Screw Christmas. If we get lively, I’ll smile like when my aunt got me a vest that one year.

Mine too and I just can’t get excited about it this year. I feel like I need to talk to my dr to see if my heart is healthy enough for some help.

Alright fellas. Happy draft. Hope for the best and remember that tonight’s feelings mean very little. Unless the feelings are happy. In that case, we are a guaranteed dynasty.

Pretty sure Adam Silver is grogu’s biological father.

Grady Dick knows he’s an nba player and not an ice skater, right?

He looks like the undertaker who buried the aunt that got me that vest.

I just hope we get some size at pf that can shoot. I think mimic will be involved tonight.

Feel Dick is one of those guys that could fall and I don't want him (even if he's a fine pick at 12)
