[Im Coming Home]

He was the last guy I was considering at 11

Dude's arguably the best shooter in the draft, just don't know where he fits positionally. IRL he's gonna get playing time just for the 3pt shooting, but I wasn't sure if I could make it work in BaF with him.

Yep I was considering him at 12 as well. I was going go either Collier or Him until Cody Williams was still there for me. I even was thinking of trying to trade back in and grab one of them too but decided not to.

The more I looked into this class, the more I actually started to like it

I don't see any real superstars or even stars, but I do think there are quite a few really good players.

yeah, there's a lot of guys who can be quality players. some still haven't been picked yet either. i think it's a lot better than a draft like 2013.

[3toheadmelo]

mccain's jumper is probably the prettiest in the class. i was looking at him for my pick as well

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT

The Orlando Magic have agreed to trade Isaiah Stewart to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for Dennis Smith Jr. and a 2026 1st round draft pick.

[Strick]

McCain didn’t get a chance to show much on ball stuff at Duke with them having another could PGs and a big who plays with the ball often. I think he has more to show there

I think he’s one of the best pure shooters in the draft and that alone should carve him out a role for years to come. Solid team defender and a really good rebounder for his size

I think he can sit or play alongside Ivey off the bench sharing the ball and can provide some nice spacing with the 2nd unit.

AJ has a ton of talent. I look forward to watching him develop. I think if he went to Texas instead of Australia, he’d be much more talked about

[TerrenceClarke]

Hopefully Yves Missi Lands on a good team to develop him for me. I been having bad luck with African Bigmen 2 years in a row.

[mpharris36]

Unfortunately this pick may be skipped. I don't think smash has been on since April.
