I’d be surprised if he doesn’t pick his Lithuanian boy here.

Folks, this is why you don't trade up in this of all drafts.

Matas is bad on defense, too. But at least he's 19 years young.

I will just say there is light at the end of tunnel. Hope exist. In a weak draft like this at #11 getting guy like Buzelis is hope.

I was truly hoping one of Buzelis or Topic would fall or McCain....and all 3 are there


I'm also seeing the Bulls go the Knecht route which is giving me horrible Doug McDermott flashabcks!

Tankathon agrees with me. Matas' defense rating is the worst thing about him.

One thing for certain is that Coby/Giddey/Demar/Matas/Vuc have the potential to be the worst NBA defense of all time. :lol:

Cody would be greater but I like the pick.

I think Matas needs a quite time to improve his weaknesses. Do AKME really plan to play the long game? I hope so.

Let Demar walk and tank please.

I am happy with this pick. No idea how he will work out in the end, but I think he was a tremendous talent to grab at 11 in this draft. Never thought we would have the opportunity to select Buzelis.
