Reed Sheppard went to a good team then had a hard time getting on the court.


Slipping from 3rd to 6th costs him $13 million over his first contract alone. Sure he may have a long career and that may end up as pocket change, but for a guy who has some executives saying "he could be out of league in 5 years", doesn't seem too smart of an idea.


In the NFL, it absolutely makes sense, which is why I always just didn't get players like Rodgers and what not being bitter about it, especially QB's, it is beyond critical to land with a good organization if you are a QB, it is well worth losing out on the money to land in the right place. Bad organizations are bad organizations. The NBA is more nebulous, with such small rosters, and teams so easily changed by luck or lack of luck in the lottery, a bad organization can turn into a good organization just due to the lottery balls (see the absolute grand Mal ----ing morons in Dallas)....but yeah, if I could engineer landing with say the Spurs, or the Sixers, or OKC, instead of a ---- show like DC, or Brooklyn, or Charlotte, I'd do it 100 times out of 100. Luckily for us, we actually have a decent front office for the first time in eons, so the stink might finally dissipate here in the next decade or so if things go right, but we are sowiz/soboulez so I'll believe us having luck when it actually happens, which is probably never.

Assuming Eddecomb is gone at 6, I’d be happy with Malauch, Fears or Bailey. Watch, we’ll end up with Tre.

I can squint and see some Mutumbo in Malauch and some Dame in Fears.
In Rizzo we trust

If we draft Tre or Ace instead of Fears, I hope we draft a PG @18, maybe even WCJR , the guy has the clutch gene.

This may have been posted earlier. Leif Thulin is a guy I respect, and he sees Queen as a future all-star.

Bailey/his team want to go to DC. The Wizards made him a promise at #6 and advised him to not workout with other teams behind us (NOP/BKN) in order to prevent them from attempting to trade up with Philly at 3/Utah at 5.

Makes sense. It explains everything so far.

He would be one of the first potential stars to ever actually want Washington.

If Philly is trying to get Ace to come in for a workout with the sole intent of enticing teams into trading up, it’s totally understandable why Ace/his team would refuse a workout. Makes sense to also request a promise at #3 in order to get a read on Philly’s intentions.

We still have to ask ourselves, why didn't he lose the weight BEFORE the combine and make a better impression?

If he’s there at #18, they are absolutely taking that swing. Best playmaker in the class with an 8’10 standing reach. The upside is undeniable.

It's not clear when he lost it but I assumed he meant before. I doubt he lost 23 pounds in the last few weeks.

It's a little more nuanced, he wants to go where he can play a lot of minutes, he wants to be the guy right out of the box, and the Wizards give their rookies plenty of PT.
