Probably does not fit the Dawkins profile of a youngster who needs time because we don't want to win yet. I wonder if they go Traore or some Euro there.

Who are you hoping is still there? For me it’s Sorber. I’d be happier with Wolf but I don’t think we would pick him.

Jaku was supposed to be a top 5 pick at one point. The Illinois kid has really fallen.

What a draft for them. They are so loaded.



It is sickening. Too much luck for one franchise. At least they are in the West and have to deal with OKC.

No trade ups. Teams not liking any offers or teams
liking players still on the board
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

Those who are convinced of absurdities, can be convinced to commit atrocities

I’d love to trade into the mid 20s and grab Clayton Jr.

I think they pull a slight surprise here. I'm ok with either big or a point guard. Newell is kind of a shorter Saar. Go for best player not best big.

Sorber or Berenger
Making extreme statements like "only" sounds like there are "no" Jokics in this draft? Jokic is an engine that was drafted in the 2nd round. Always a chance to see diamond dropped by sloppy burgular after a theft.

If Jaku is there, you take him. High upside

Sorber, Fleming or Newell. All seem pretty good or talented.

But again, are they taking experienced college players or still taking one-and-done guys or 18-year old overseas guys? Or trade down to get a late first and a second-round pick tomorrow.

I watched him a lot and can see why. Very turnover prone and struggles to separate without a pick.

Nate, just wondering. Why did you prefer Tre to Fears?

Fears is undersized. I don’t like undersized PGs unless they are virtually flawless on offense and Fears has too many flaws (turnovers, shooting). I’m just not sure I can envision him on a second round playoff team.

Tre is a prototypical SG with good size and length. . He definitely can play in a playoff game.



Is Mathurin a good comp for Tre?

Mathurin jump out of the gym athlete. Tre seems weak and unexplosive to me.

If he is there at 18... I am seriously tempted to take him, Miami has promised to take him if he isn't nabbed

Man, I just don’t see what people see in him. Unathletic, decent but not lights out shooter. Ok but not great handles. Too slow to guard anyone. Pass. Which means the sowizards will draft him
In Rizzo we trust
