No. He’s a serious athlete and his defense is actually ahead of his offense.

Thanks. Is he White? Does he have that in common with Danny Ferry?


I love how you’re on some sort of electronic device and ask this here.

Yes. He’s white.

Because I'd rather learn from a fellow poster than Google. It's called conversation. Is there something wrong with that?
Thanks for answering the question.

Kuminga destroying us again. Randle shut out for the final 7:26 of the half, but Ant has awoken.

Just saw the result. Def rigged for sure.

Maybe SAS is like 76er the process. I just can't defend what happened in Dallas with less than 2 percent chance. NBA may as well admit that is a compensation.



There is absolutely no reason the drawing needs to be behind closed doors except to rig it.


But…. We got Edwards. So F the league

The league provides video of the drawing every year. It's just not as "made for TV" so it's not how the results are announced.

I never heard the name Cooper Flagg until the last week. I know NOTHING about college basketball.

All good, just a funny conversation.

I don't know if he has superstar upside, but I think his bust potential is very low. He should be a very solid pro.

Than I hope we acquire him. Let's start some kind of rumor to make him slide to 17 in the draft.

Klomp you gave me a +1 on the Duke guess. Did I get it right? I heard White guy and it seemed like he was tall so that made Duke and Christian Laettner come to my mind.

Yes, highly regarded Duke big man. Not same playing style, yes, both white. I think you know the Danny Ferry story - drafted #3 by Clippers.

Yeah he's a Dukey, no he's not Laettner. If you want a white comparison, I think I might actually go Keith Van Horn.

Yes. Back in those days I watched a LOT of college basketball.

He was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) before the start of NCAA tournament :)

Sounds like the 17th pick in the draft to me. :D

The only fun fact after the lottery is Jazz tanked to worse record and did not get a top 4. Ainge also facilitated the Luka trade which in affect help Dallas landed Copper. Ainge must be throwing Perrier bottles against the wall all night today. :D
