He looks kinda small. Will be interesting to see how he goes against proper NBA athletes.

He is very small.

He should have to pay Steph royalties for the move he put on Knecht.

This cuts deep. He's the same height as me (6'2/189cms). :lol:

19/9/8 +16 50/50/83 on high volume. He’s a stud. Carrington Coulibaly Sarr is gonna be a strong trio in a few years. Wiz won’t be down for forever if they keep them together.

Bub is solid as hell. There will be some steals from this weak class, could see him being one of them. Gradually climbed my board throughout the process.

Just one summer league game but Terrence Shannon Jr. looks pretty good. I hope we didn't miss out on a solid prospect there.

He turns 24 this month, so he isn't really a "prospect" in a traditional sense, but he is definitely a high floor guy that could've immediately contributed on this team.

Instead, we are still chasing the magic of the Giannis pick with these swings for the fences.

More Brogdons, less Thons please.

This has big "all Chris Carter does is catch touchdowns" energy but legally I can only get so excited about a perimeter player who doesn't create with the pass.

I just hope the guys we got are worth a ****.

Really sad to hear about Holmes. That's the worst realistic injury you can experience, & before he gets a chance to prove himself. We may never know now. For our part, the Bucks might have dodged one, but it could not have happened in a different game.

As for Shannon, he was a high floor, and mid to high ceiling. He's higher ceiling than a good majority still. Just because you're a college vet, doesn't mean your special physicality, coupled w/ sufficient skill, doesn't apply. It did for Jimmy Butler.

Jimmy was a young senior -- still 21 on draft day.

By the way, a player doing a favor for James Dolan is incredibly perverse. That said, I still don't think it's a great contract.

Mike Muscala to retire. Thank you for doing this before Horst could sign or trade for you.

Guy I'm disappointed the Bucks passed on is Furphy. Very young, should be a plus defensive player, nice offensive potential. Bucks passed on him twice, lol.

Also, is Reed Sheppard basketball Jesus? He was definitely the number 1 prospect based on age and stats, but he's maybe better than expected.

Watching him and Shannon go at each other after seeing how far away AJJ is was a little depressing.

TSJ with a cool 19/4/2 with 3 blocks and 2 steals.

Shannon is flashing rare defensive playmaking potential for a wing.

Unfortunately, he’s exactly what we needed (on court).

Just Jonny Boy being too cute. We got our guy because he believed in all the combine hype. Other gms must have been laying out the smoke pretty thick.

. Jonny fell for it.

I've watched Furphy's couple of games (Aussie homering), I know it's just SL but he does look like a player. Very young, was pretty bummed we didn't swoop in for him in the second round.

Yeah I lost my **** a little bit when we didn't get him second time round. Got some young Middleton D potential in him. Tall SG defender who crowds the **** out of smaller shooters.
