At the very least?! lol

Trying to bait me into hyperbole?! lol that’s not gonna work.

Do I think Cam has potential to be an all-star?! Sure…with a lot of development just as I said at the draft, just like I said Gradey’s ceiling is a rotation player ie/ Kevin Huerter. But Cam has the potential, Gradey is limited by his lateral quickness from ever being anything special. That’s not hate, that’s just the truth.

They said the same thing about Steph Curry, and look at him now.


Lmao omg Reeko…I don’t wanna go at you at all I’m just gonna say these comparisons Whitmore to Crowder and Dick to Curry.

This take may join the likes of some on this board saying Norman Powell would be better than Devin Booker lol

They gotta swindle some team into taking him this summer. Cough*Detroit*Cough

I'd take a top-59 protected 2nd.

4 years worth of lottery talent vs 1 year on display

And people still saying we shouldn't tank.

I go with Bill Parcells - you are what your record says you are.

So team with the best regular season record is the best team in the league? How many times have we seen this to not be the case?

If say a young team like the Wolves finish first or second but then fall to the veteran Clippers or Nuggets in the playoffs, does that make them a fraud? OKC another young team is a game back of Minnesota now. Are they a fraud too? If not what's the difference?
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Nah their best players are two free agents (FVV and Brooks) and a pick from OKC( sengun). What they benefited from will take a while to bear fruit.
