If we can get Clifford and Broome out of this draft it will make up for the Tre f up.

That's really stupid. This isn't the NFL, the hit rate on NBA 2nd rounders is miniscule, it won't draw any eyeballs whatsoever beyond addicts like us.

What years I wonder. The obvious question is how well can they be used.

No more French guys for Will to draft. I have no clue who he's taking at 21. If he really loved any of them, he would have stayed at 18.

I don't think there are two guys I want less than those two, well, maybe Wolf, but yeah, I have less than zero interest drafting 22/23 year old guys that weren't close to good enough to be drafted as freshman or sophomores. I guess with NIL money, guys are more willing to stay, admittedly, but still, no interest, and you know all the mega studs always come out early.

I said Liam McNeeley should have stayed in school. Not a smart move by him.

So how many open roster spots do we have? Are we able to retain everyone with the three rookies coming on board?

One of the best athletes in the draft but I think he goes in the second round due to lack of production.
