Where we are right now is back in June, 2019.

After getting eliminated by the Bucks in the 2nd rnd and Kyrie and Al left in FA.

Deja vu.

At 57, give me the best shooter. Curtis Jones.

Some other good shooters like Caleb Grill are there too.

Best PG left is Nembhard.

RJ Luis is a good wing...who we gonna take?

23-year-old, he'll be on a 2-way it looks like.

Shulga is a shooter.

I'm not very high on him. He's not very athletic.

But he can shoot.

I thought so too but I just checked and Amari did have 40 dunks this season. Not an astronomical number for a big but definitely a respectable number. More dunks than guys like Murray-Boyles and Queen, for example..

I put him in the same category as Dylan Cardwell but that’s right he’s not nearly that built, more lean.

I knew he passed well but man those are some great passes in that video.


Did Williams have a late growth spurt before which he played guard?

Shulga is a shooter with decent size for a SG. Good ball-mover. Good rebounder for his size too.

Probably a two-way guy for Boston.

Damn that’s cold Rick. Even as a 2way?

Agent might say, we ain't signing a two way with a drafted team.

They can then pick where they want to go on a two way. Other players are like, if you want me
You can have me.

Not sure but that would help explain why he's such a good passer and ball handler for a big..
