He has size as a forward, very wide body about an inch shy of 6'8, he is a rebounder and scorer.

The hope is that he learns enough from Jimmy to be the Culture type player going forward.

He's a winner. Totally makes sense for this organization to take.

Not my cup of tea, though. Would have rather traded down closer to the end of the 1st round, don't think the drop off is that high.

Thought that was Caleb tbh

But he cant shoot..lol. We got Spo bro. He WILL develop.

lol the guy looks like trash, he has no first step or explosiveness, he cannot get past any of his defenders in those clips in college.. will be even worse in NBA

w/e though, welcome to miami, hope it works out

i'd have taken whitmore and take the risk

If I didn't watch games I would think miami would be a perennial loser with the takes here.
This "trash fo" has built two teams that have made the finals since 2020 without a big 3 and was that close last year to making the finals again.

We see the heat culture they've instilled. I trust this prospect at the very least has some talent and drive that should fit as long as he works at it.

Caleb will probably start at the 4, with Haywood/Jovic backing him up.

Idk I’m getting like a little bit more athletic mcBob vibes from this

Well guys. I look at this draft pick and I don't think it's a pick that someone is asking back for in a trade so start connecting the dots for the Dame hopers out there.

This is probably to worst I felt about a pick, ever.

Especially considering we had #18, which isn't that low for us - and that were still good options on the board. Multipule.

And he's also not tradable -

No rebuilding team will want this type of low celling guy.

Daffy · Post #1155 » by **Daffy** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 2:42 am

I just wanted us to get a little more athletic in the back court or some size. We desperately lack both honestly. I hope this kid ends up great for us though.

Not sure why nobody is excited. We just drafted Kylo Ren. We can Jedi mind trick Foster & the rest of these crooked refs.

Schifino was the guy. Lakers punked us

Jimmy n Jairy should be a better duo than Lebron n Shabazz.
