Great vid.

Coming away with Bub, Sarr, Kyshawn, and AJ from a single draft is quite a haul. Kudos to the FO.

I like the fact that they actually have a spine in negotiations, for contracts and trades. Getting AJ included in the Kuzma trade surely wasn't easy.

No kidding!
& if you add the Colby Jones acquisition, sewing up Justin Champagnie, & grabbing the 20-year old Jaylen Martin... they added 7 guys with an average age of under 21 years old! Wow!

This year, with 4 games left, we have played 18,730 minutes of regular season basketball.

8671 of those minutes -- almost half! -- have been played by guys who are 21 or younger.

Amazing! Add 1152 for Champagnie & 352 for Jones/Thor, & 10,175 minutes have been played by guys 23 or younger.

I still have my eyes on Summer of 2027. Jokic and Giannis will opt out, and both their teams are 4/5 seeds that have mortgaged their futures through 2030. Hell, Denver may fall to the 8th seed this year.
The 2025 & 2026 top 5 picks will set the tone, but I could see us vying for a play-in spot in 26/27 and then heading into the offseason with 60M in cap space and selling agents/FA's on us being the next OKC.
