Starting to think TJD is telling teams to not draft him so he can pick his destination as a UDFA

2020: None
2019: Terrance Mann
2018: None
2017: Monte Morris
2016: Georges Niang
2015: Pat Connaughton, Norm Powell, Josh Richardson
2014: Jordan Clarkson, Nikola Jokic

So they’re not valueless. Even a 10% chance of a pick being a contributor means they have value

I think you are struggling with the math a bit, and again, I respect your contributions, but that is a 4% chance, which is practically valueless.

You took a few years sample size and made that into a statistic?

I don’t think you understand what you’re saying. But I’m not gonna argue with you

I value 2nd round picks. If you don’t, that’s fine

Suffice to say, this front office is extremely risk averse.

Seth Lundy is a good pick man. We're out here missing on all the talent. That UDFA pool is thinning like a mug

Did any of our "guys" fall Bobby?

Bruce Brown was drafted by Detroit, gone in two years. Vanderbilt played 18 games for his first team. Melton played half a season. None of those are hits by the team making the draft pick.

It makes no sense man. That kid is really really good. He's better than JHS. He's going to be one of the best value guys wherever he goes.

If we took a guard at 13, Lundy would've been a good pick there.

Would be nice if it’s here but I’m not holding my breath

Haliburton should have been a Raptor. What a steal for the Pacers.

Sources are telling me whatever 2nd rounder pans out, Bobby & Ujiri were this close to acquiring a pick for them.

Irrelevant, they ended up good players. Trades happen all the time.

Masai and Bobby go to bed at 10PM. Never seen these clowns buy or trade for extra picks since the Powell draft. Lazy front office..zzzzzz

Bruin · Post #1700 » by **Bruin** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 4:14 am

I’ll be satisfied if we get TJD as a UDFA
