HOU picked him already

I freaking love this draft for Houston. Sengun and Garuba were both robberies. I actually really like Sengun's fit with Wood and Garuba and I think his playmaking will be great for Green to play off on offense.

I know who you are referring to, but why don't you tell everyone else who you're referring to.


Matthew Hurt. Skilled, slow, white. But he'll make a squad somewhere.

No to Cooper, can't shoot can't defend and is small. 2nd round picks are for grand slam swings. Take BJ Boston, McBride, stash Petrusev, Begarin or Bleijenbergh

Strengths
- One of the best players in the college game. Consensus first-team All-American and winner of the Bob Cousy Award, presented to the nation's top point guard. Averaged 20.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game while shooting 39% from 3-point range and 78% from the free throw line, leading Illinois to the Big Ten Conference tournament title and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
- Big combo guard at 6-foot-4 with a 6-9 wingspan. One of the most efficient pick-and-roll scorers in the college game. Plays with good pace, timing and smarts. Effective shooter off the dribble who can also create for teammates unselfishly.
- Swiss-army knife who excels in the open court, crashes the glass aggressively and communicates defensively off the ball.


Yes to all of that. Perfect Graham replacement.

That all briefs well.... why is he still available then?

I want someone who can play a role and do it well so the Martin twins don't play. Kessler Edwards is a 6'8 sniper, I want him.

What's with the stalling of the lightning round? Pick is in. pick is in. pick is in.
