Hopefully he’s BPA. He’s a try hard. Pesky.

A big yuck for me, he might be a great guard but we need size badly. If we draft him Mann is gone.

They passed on Lively for Wallace...this is why OKC can't have rings.

Wallace has a higher ceiling than Dort and our defensive system requires a POA defender which Wallace will fill.

On the flip side maybe the rest of the roster grew this offseason and move up a position .

People said this about Giddey and the Jalen Williams picks. I wanted Lively also but in Presti we trust. He hits more than he misses and I gotta assume he has a vision.

Okc can't have rings because they reach with #12? Relax!

So many good players left. Tons of teams willing to buy picks right now.
