Vukcevic looked very good in the Combine.
If he is coming over, I'm fine with the pick.

Vucevik is an acceptable pick. Everyone has their 2nd ronud favorites, but at this point it's throwing darts blindfolded.

So we got the picks back for moving up. Honestly if the guy you wanted was Vuk smart play.

Definitely concerned w/the "not an athlete, can't defend a lick" angle. But I do like the offensive game, could be a trade piece if nothing else.

Anybody know if/when we get those 2nds from Chicago?

Would like to have a little spreadsheet of our picks going forward in this slash and burn rebuild w/o any assets worth a damn lol.

If nothing else, its nice to have at least 3 picks in like the next five drafts at minimum.

inside joke regarding elon musk moderation policies sorry

Also Jokic comparisons are probably silly (Jokic was already obviously an elite passer coming out, this guy is merely good and nobody would let an elite passing/shooting big fall to the 2nd round ever again no matter how unathletic he is) but he's already a plus shooter, isn't THAT bad of an athlete, and was at least playable against grown men. Has to count for something, right?

So I have Terquavion Smith or Nadir Hifi as my pick at 57 but! Emoni Bates is still on my radar. Not really another big boy that is draft there are a lot of undrafted guys I like but thos three are the next on my radar.

I would be shocked if we took a player over the age of 20

You’re probably right. We are working as hard as we can to stay under single digits through 2025 at least.

Competitive window to open in 26 or 27

At this point, I know nothing about any of the players left. I'm sure the more folks here who still have players rated on their list. In any case, I think this is a good draft for us just based on our 2 picks so far. I will enjoy watching these kids develop.

Really liked essentially all 4 guys picked around our pick more than ours :(, still like the pick, it's just at our slot, he was probably nearly last amongst the five or six guys left I liked.

Basically on the two big boards I took a look at he went a touch after he was expected to go (late 30's to around 41ish).

I like the player, just prefer a few guys over him.
