He had a great run in the NCAA Tournament. He's a project but could be worth the investment.

Hugo just shook his head and threw his hands up in exasperation after Minnesota made the Okogie pick. We must have been targeting him.

The one thing that can save this draft for me is if Ellie Okobo somehow falls to one of our 100 second round picks

sad thing about Miles is he might be too slow to be a sf and too small to be a pf. Even with that said I still think we didn't do a terrible job of drafting. But didn't really get much accomplished either imo

Are we sure we have pick #45? Are the Nets actually making the pick for us?

I thought Billups was drunk already with his comparisons but he just compared that poor kid to Tyrus Thomas.
