Boo.

...okay, I'm gonna be honest here, idk anything about this guy.

Hopefully he is decent and not just some stash pick.

His sister? If that was his GF, he would have not just semi-kissed here.

Turns out it was his mom!

Please don't tell me he's a draft and stash.

For someone who knows about this guy, what is the percent chance he comes over in the next two years?

No way! This guy is a player. He’s been a quality player for Madrid at 19/20 years old. Big time pick.

Wanted Jackson-Davis. This team needs some tough bigs who want to defend and rebound. Not super high upside but at least he’d play for us next year. Sick of these draft and stash guys.

He needs to fill out, get in condition. I dont know how you teach quickness, reaction, and moving sideways. On the other hand, he is tall, can shoot, and can be a C.

I'd like to see him on the roster this year. We could use a backup center behind Gafford.

The moms stole this draft. Used to GFs or sisters.

This guy is very legit. Markkanen upside. He could contribute right now. Lit up the combine scrimmages.

Jackson-Davis would be a smart move. Maybe with that final pick.

Surprised to see GG Jackson still available. Young but might be upside pick.

Of course Spurs get Cissoko

I would normally hate a draft and stash but considering we are at the bleeding edge of the rebuild we have time to wait a season or two

I'll take Jay Huff this season. We're tanking. The less talent, the better though Huff might be more ready for the NBA than Vucevic at 20. Going for a top 3 pick. Now, if they want to see him in the SL, fine.

Could have both, to be honest. If we can find a way to move or get out of Muscalas deal.

Would have preferred Rupert, but he was was on my top 9 guys for the 35/42 picks so I'm happy we got one of them. Solid pick. But yeah, I would have much preferred the 43rd, and 44th picks, and keeping our selection at 35. I don't like the pick we actually made as much as the one we traded at 35, or the ones immediately after our pick (freaking Spurs, nailing every pick, so annoying, they've been bad like 3 years out of the last 35 years and managed to get 3 of the top 20 selected players from those 35 years combined or so with #1 overalls, no karma exists lol).
