Maluach gives me Bismack Biyombo vibes, I think there's a good chance he will bust like Mo Bamba or such.

I think Fears is going to be the biggest bust in the top 10

Small guard, poor shooter. Yea he can dribble but can he finish inside against NBA centers?

Feel like they would’ve been better off keeping CJ in this situation


Agree. Kind of a weird move now in retrospect

It's good 1-3 and like 10-20. The rest is crap.

I can’t be the only one that cringes when players (draft or post game interviews) addresses female journalists as “man”, “bro” or the worst “bruh”

Must be some weird onset-boomer reactions coming on and I apologize.

I knew it. I just saw a flash of a proposed trade at 10 with PHX but didn't see anything after. Damned Ishbia.

People overrated ceilings

Ace might have a higher ceiling but Kon has a much higher floor. What are the chances Ace hits his ceiling? Like 2%?

If both players hit their median outcome, Kon is significantly more valuable

I wonder if the Nets make a move for Egor Denim at this pick. I would pick Traore though.

3 minutes on the clock you can have two more if you really need it and ask Silver really nicely
