Lopez was a good get for you cap 8-)

the funny part for me is when I signed him- I was think should I go 3 years but something told me just go 2 years...

Swiss drafted Kawhi to the Bulls. Ironically, he was "Trader Swiss."

I've had SGA since the start of year two but no other constants.

I looked at his highlights for the first time last night- looks fearless and very confident...

I just wish he was a little bit bigger but he is so explosive. Great first step.

Dillingham's my #1

Dude has the ability to create from anywhere, but he's just so tiny.

all he has to do is dedicate himself to put the weight on and train...but he would have to want it...
from my point of view its so obvious but most of these guys dont do it...

I trust Kentucky players in the NBA for the most part. Worth gambling on them especially in this draft

DerrickNoah · Post #454 » by **DerrickNoah** » Sat Jun 22, 2024 7:06 pm

At the end of the day, I believe that Reed & Dillingham would be the consensus top two picks if they were each 6’5. They currently have the most offensive basketball talent in the draft. I hope that at least one of them will become a star.

If Rob ends up in San Antonio, that could unlock a superstar very quick

I’m late to the party with pick commentary. But during pm talks when making trades I did mention to Cap that I really liked both Castle and Clingan.

Castle for his size on the wing, offensive repertoire, and his makeup.

Klingan, because I view him as bust-proof. Pretty much you know you’re gonna get size, shotblocking, rebounding and a guy who is gonna set good picks.

Agreed. If I was a little closer to competing now, I would have selected Clingan over Sarr, two “older guys” I like, over Reed & Rob.

Well, I feel like I’m gonna get the biggest wildcard in this draft.
