Not that it means anything, but everyone wants to see R Williams and Fall on the court at the same time.
If you had Kaiser Theis, you could rule over Prussia.
44, 77, 99, some good numbers there.
45 too.
Theis weighs more than Ojeleye? The team was only told to certify height and age, not weight.

Despite being lukewarm in my excitement this year overall, I am curious to see Romeo, Grant and Carson play....I feel like this draft could be special but could also be solid with Avery Bradley types too. Could also be full of Jared Sullinger like teases who don’t pan out.

I have lower expectations for romeo than I do Carson and William's.
I don't expect anything at all from romeo

That is reasonable because we’ve seen those two excel in SL but we haven’t seen Romeo. But what if he is the best of all 3? That is why I am excited to see him.....we have no idea how he stacks up against NBA talent.

Yep - he's the guy I'm most excited about.
As for expectations, he is young with tons of question marks and competition, but Brad did a pretty great job prepping Jaylen and Tatum from the get-go.
And Langford isn't physically overmatched like an RJ Hunter or helpless defensively like James Young. He's got an NBA-ready frame, legit wing size, solid quickness, strength and instincts for man D. He can also rebound, fill a lane, cut and finish. That's basically the skill package that got Jaylen on the floor during the first half of his rookie year.
He'll need to be able to hit spot-up 3s to enlarge his role, but I think that's a reasonable hope. And even if he doesn't Brad has given plenty of minutes to poor shooting guards and wings who can handle the ball (Rozier/Smart/ET)

You realize they reworked his shot right? Sorry I am not ecstatic about what I saw
Luckily he is going to get a ton of work up in Maine
