Rayan Rupert = Steal of the draft

[DusterBuster]

If that's the case Cronin becomes a genius again right?

No.

He looked like total garbage his first game.

He is the definition of RAW and a long term project, looked slow footed to me as well. Only one summer league game but it will be a while with him

I don't think he's slow, he's not processing the game fast enough. I remember Jermaine O'Neal looked slow because he was out there thinking through his reads. It's the same thing here, once he's comfortable you'll be seeing him glide all over the court like he's on roller skates.

Hope you are right, looked like moving through molasses to me

on the topic of Rupert: last night, he looked about 3 years away from being 2 years away

So we only have to hope he turns to be a faster learner than Keon

[Blazinaway]

Hey I hope he kills it tonight and my post makes me look like an idiot!

[Dangeruss]

He flashed tonight

No.

Exactly. Call me when he didn't give jerami grant a 5th year po on stupid money for a role player rendering him close to untradeable

My man… the Grant deal is like 4th on my list of dumb Cronin moves… maybe lower.

Fair enough, as long as the norman powell trade ranks highly we good

Numero Uno.

That trade should have been a warning sign for everyone that he may not be pulling the strings and that he’s getting pretty clear directives from Vulcan to just strip this ish to the studs.

Dont draft me because I won't sign a contract with you is not holding a gun to the teams head?

Probably more like "don't draft me unless you're going to offer a multi-year guaranteed contract like someone else has promised me"
