That would be a nice pickup but...you know who we'll get is C. Considerations....i mean weltman already had his conference already....that second rounder is already punted

Leonard Miller hasn’t been picked yet. He’d been rumoured to have a lottery promise early on I believe.

If that's the case, and they're truly indifferent about it, then they should trade Fultz and give Black the keys to the car.

Because if making the playoffs doesn't matter, then get your highly touted rookie point guard those reps and live with the growing pains.

I really do believe Fultz is gone at some point. You can't have Black and Fultz on the floor together and let's not forget they still have Suggs and Cole. Black is best with the ball in his hands.

I mean, I appreciate it being leaked a bit earlier than the last minute, we all saw it coming. If it's the Bucks I sincerely hope we're getting a future (protected) first or a player. Their own future second would be **** trash.

Well, Juwan Howard lasted 21 years in the NBA, Jett seems a humble kid with good work ethics probably did great with interviews so our FO bets on him to be the best shooter we could take at 11. Time and actual NBA games will tell. But he will be measured by Dick and Hawkins for a while.

I think Weltman was confused. Harris went to Michigan State, not Michigan

I went dark because I hate being spoiled, but I was very excited for this draft coming in, but I couldnt imagine a worse outcome. Never did I think this would be the duo we would select.

Im not a Jett fan at all, and dont like AB more than any of our guards. I'm going to be optimistic about this because I do trust our FO but I am severely disappointed.

I sincerely doubt they are indifferent to making the playoffs/play-in.

If they did they would be making moves towards that direction, and they haven't done so. I really do believe the organization realizes this team is still young and still progressing. While the playoffs/play-ins would be nice next season, and I really don't think its priority.

It’s so damned predictable. There will be decent players available in the 2nd. Just give the pick away, though. Better than making efforts towards actually trying to find a sleeper in the 2nd.

I bet they will say the 2nd rounder they wanted all along went undrafted so they instead acquired assets while getting their man.

Predictable.

I vehemently disagree with completely disregarding the second round, but I'm also tired of whining about it. We do not place any value whatsoever in the second round and that is that. I don't like it but I accept the reality of it. I didn't like walking a country mile out to employee parking in the pouring rain today when I left work, but I did it and I didn't dwell on it. It storms in the afternoon in the summer in Florida.
