We have chosen to go with youth, and I like it. Not all the youth may pan out, but I like this direction.

Haven't seen Matas, but ESPN draft analysis says he has impressive rim protecting ability and versatility on both ends. Bad on defense sounds like a stretch. Needs to put on some weight, but tremendous dunker and good slasher from highlights I've seen. Looks like a great pick at 6'9". Will he force his way into the starting line-up?

Good weakside help defender. Has good length to alter shots and get deflections. Doesn't have great strength or footspeed.

OK AK, go young. Move on and let the youngsters get their minutes and make sure we keep our 2025 1st rounder.

I am surprised we got Matas. I was expecting Ron Holland to fall but I will take Matas.

We got someone tall and skilled. Let's go .
AKME? More like MEAK with how they're afraid to make a move to push us in one direction.

Whenever theres a kid from chicago on the board, bet on it that AKME will take em. Now it would be hilarious if he found a way to get TSJ too lol.

Should have been Knecht IMO, but I don’t hate him.

Really need shooting but AKME just doesn’t care
