ROUND 1: AJ Johnson - Poll Added

chonestown · Post #121 » by **chonestown** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 2:50 am

Action Johnson.

When he dunks on someone, he should yell out "Fk, that's delicious."

Him standing next to Silver with a little kid smile on his face was adorable.

Look man, as an honorary Australian I'm inclined to root for another honorary Australian. It's a brotherhood.

I'm rooting for you, AJ. No **** idea who you are, but let's do it.

I guess once you get that taste, you crave for it again. Forever chasing.

You could be right. That's one of the problems taking project picks. You can lose patience and his subsequent teams end up benefiting, even if they do come good.

That's why I liked a pick such as Shannon who was NBA ready w/ some core potential. Fits more in a win now strategy too.

W/ that said, I mentioned Giannis & Jennings. They were garbage abroad but immediately contributed in the NBA. So it's not linear.

I'm convinced Horst just has those kids that were in the "War Room" use ChatGPT to scout and make the picks for him.

Now Horst will get Bobo Klintman at 33

Make the war room look like a Boys and Girls Club winding down another night challenge.

AI wouldn’t do something illogical like this

How in the hell can you have a strong opinion on a pick based on a couple hundred NBL minutes that you haven't even seen?

Usually we can talk ourselves into our second round pick after a disappointing first round pick at the end of the night, now we gotta sit on this night/day tomorrow :lol:

You can hate the pick, but it can't be for thinking the Bucks took him too early.

maybe they knew something but I bet you can literally not find one single mock on the whole internet where he's in the top 33

Glad we don't have many first rounders in the future so we won't have to endure dumb picks like this.

This must be why I was familiar with his name. They showed a graphic and I did not remember in depth on any of the names.

because he had worse stats than bronny

and we could REALLY use someone who's good enough to play this year (or at least next year)

Live by the take, die by the take, we got a river, we got a lake.

Even if this guy does hit, still a moronic pick. After so many picks horst would be bound to hit one, dude just sucks at drafting talent

At least its not Bobi? Yeah i guess we wait for summer league unless they hold him out to lift weights with Giannis
