Wemby is quite a kid -- composed, thoughtful, communicative.

No way the Lakers are keeping this pick.

Total guess on my part but maybe we were too transparent about wanting Bilal.
Glad we had the assets to still get our guy.

Re: The Official 2023 Draft Thread
Look... it's kind of obvious, isn't it?
Someone came to Indy w/ an offer to trade up to 7 in order to take Bilal. They put the word out, & we made an alternate offer.

Re: The Official 2023 Draft Thread
On 4 3s a game and 9 attempts a game total on 47 % low volume guys need to be more efficient than that and he doesn't shot FTs well. He gets lucky and hits one three a game on average.joshuacf wrote:gambitx777 wrote:Also he can not shoot! Like at all!Tyrone Messby wrote:Whitmore has those bad knees.

He had a 57% TS. He's a better shooter than Wemby, Scoot, Amen, Ausur, Black, Hood-Schifinio and Lively.
That is definitely not the reason he's falling.

His defensive awareness? But he is pretty young, I think he can learn.
Are his medicals that bad?
