I'm giving myself credit for this.

I like Avdija, but two firsts, a second and Brogdon?

Miami on the clock. Can't wait to find out who my next mortal enemy is.

That's majorly overrated imo because I think his realistic best case is not a core player. There are a dearth in the draft. But you can still find some. And there are more developed role players you probably might as well take.

But most of the reason for the rant is indeed Detroit specifically taking him. It's mutually bad.

I think a more logical thing to do for Detroit would have been to draft Edey, because your cupboard is practically bare. So you take a guy you can try to run the ball thru to maximize his potential. See if he is indeed Yao instead of Zubac. I don't think that's happening w/ an existing core like Memphis has. They should swap situations.

Miami about to get another steal

Bub, Coulibaly and Sarr is gonna be a defensive nightmare at each level in 2/3yrs. That’s a dangerous trio in the making. Love Bub, he’s gonna be a good one.

McCain would be a great fit there. And Knecht would be like many of the players they've targeted in the past.

I think Holland can end up being a prolific two way wing if things break right. Obviously a way different caliber prospect, but he reminds me a bit of Ant at Georgia. Can get his shot whenever (albeit inefficient), elite athleticism, great defensive tools, poor decision maker and raw feel for the game. Just a worthwile upside bet in this draft, IMO. Detroit with a bunch of non-shooters is a rough environment for him to get there.

Ware going to Miami really sucks for the rest of the league.

Jimmy is going to destroy this guy.

I now hope for Ware to be the Heats next Whiteside.

Ware felt like a Miami pick. Bet on awesome talent, and let Spo get the most out of him.
