He's atrocious defensively isn't he?

Yeah he’s not good on defense at all, but the kid can straight up ball. Been a double double machine when healthy. Was nicked up at the start of last season


An atrocious defensive big can absolutely not be paired with Trae Young on a team that wants to win anything. I could see him playing well elsewhere though.

Going by Woj's Twitter feed:

Spoiler:
Knicks are excited by Obi Toppin at 8.
Wizards are excited by Deni Avedji or however it's spelled at 9.


Based on that, I conjecture:

Spoiler:
Somebody will be excited to draft Kira Lewis at 10 or right after.
Then the excitement will settle down.

Obi dropping was so obvious. The guy has empty stats bust written all over him.
Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

Highlights I saw of Hayes,, not impressed. High dribble with the head down, limited athleticism. A few college pg's i'd take over him. He is a stash type of guy. He'll rot on that Piston bench.

I actually think Obi will do well in New York.

He’s built for the city. Was born there.

the trend continues, all the poorly run organizations continue to draft horribly and will remain bad. It's crazy. There needs to be league intervention with the Knicks. They're way too big of a market to be irrelevant like this.

The best thing about not following college/international ball is I won't criticize Ainge (tonight) whoever we end up with.

I'll just scream and shout along with y'all.
