He’s already almost as old at Bats and looks about as athletic!!

I seriously doubt he was drafted with the intention of playing meaningful mins with Kemba.

What should be one of the happiest days of his life looks like the saddest for Bol Bol.

Poor kid.

Yeah, but if he actually likes playing basketball then he has a chance to be better than the current version of Batum. Also, Batum plays like hes 5+ years older than he actually is.

I doubt he'll see meaningful minutes with Kemba, or maybe not even in general, but I think that his player archetype fitting with Monk/Kemba had to be the draw, obviously way more focused on his fit with Monk. Why else would they take him?

THT at 46 is crazy. Sad he's instantly LAL's 4th best player.

I would have much rather taken THT at 36 than this Martin dude. Hard to justify the pick imo with THT still on the board, but I can at least make some sense of why they'd like Martin.

Welp, maybe Jontay will last until #52, we take a flyer on him, he remains full health and it pays off?

Porter should absolutely be the pick, but you know it's Hoard.

Cody looks like Ben Simmons with a jumper. Mitxh might've found him one.

Really impressed with that Bol Bol interview. Kid handled himself like a champ.

Good on him.

If Porter isn't there take another big guard like Obeisie or Lecque.

Looks like a player. I like him. Probably would not have taken him at 36 though.
