I'll take all the hope I can get. I have had a life altering past 3 months in real life. It's hard to root for this team. I had hope for tonight and was looking forward to it so much, even in a weak draft. It's one if not many things I feel I have left at this point. I was hopeful with a new front office and new coach, we would be better, even slightly. Tonight really crushed a lot of hopes I've had since November, and college ball started to looking to this point ect... as the draft and nba offeseason are very high points for me in the past 2 and half decades, while watching before that, but still not old enough to know who's actually an nba prospect. What I do know is this same guy is pick 20 to 27 in alot of drafts if given the same skill set. Maybe some Years lower. Damn I hope I'm wrong. I just hope we have an idea as a team because it really doesn't look like it.JMAC3 wrote:MugzZo wrote: So we wait 4 years to see when he's 22 and putting up 12 and 7 a game and sign him to 30 mil a year or more when the cap goes up.

Salaun was already playing 22 mpg in one of the better leagues in the world.
His stats are from blistering, but that isn't how Europe works.
They don't just force feed mins to young players when they play in the best leagues.
That is what Div 2 and under 21 leagues are for.
Hence why I was toting Topic as a potential stud because he was putting up massive stats at 18.
As somebody already pointed out, Salaun shot more 3s per36 than Sheppard did this year.
Sarr played 18 mpg in a far worse league.
Risacher was playing 23 mpg.

Are you thinking of Kevin Knox from Kentucky?

I give the pick a C because at least we took a swing rather than settling for a super meh guy like Knecht.
