What do we do if Queen falls to us? I watched him, and he has a lower motor than Mo.

Tell his people that the Magic Kingdom already has a Queen(Trev)

It takes him 24 seconds to get up the court. I'm not sure that will work in the NBA.

I would pick him for sure at 25.

If Queen is there at 25 I’ll get wasted and do my best Freddie Mercury

The team needs one more guard who is a crafty ball handler who is a good shooter.

Is that realistic?

25 - Fleming
46 - Cash Consideration
57 - Proctor

The 2nd round is always the Wild West, but I'd be surprised if Proctor is still on the board at pick 57.

I'll guess...

25 - Reynaud
46 - Brea
57 - Cash Considerations

I called the TDS pick last year so I’ll try again this year.

My heart is telling me we go big, for some reason I feel like moving Goga is inevitable. Even if it isn’t this summer, I think we try to have someone ready to eventually replace.

I’m leaning Raynaud/Kalkbrenner maybe even Yang.

Knowing Weltman he’ll pick someone completely out of left field that none of us ever considered.

EDIT: you absolutely draft Queen if he falls to #25 (literally no hesitation).

Lol...I've been thinking the exact same thing. Either that or someone no one is talking about.

I’m not that confident in Richardson translating to the NBA that well. tbh.

Oh wow I thought it was just me. We have multiple people predicting the Hansen Yang bomb tonight. I’m here for it!

Incidentally I would go Wolf or Raynaud at 25 personally.

TBF... a lot of teams are predicting a Hansen Yang bomb also. Yangs people must have thrown smoke bombs left and right to get so many team fans thinking about him.

Oh yeah...in that case... 46 for Proctor and 57 for punting further

Is anyone confident about any player at 25... ever?

Worst case he’s like Boobie Gibson?

There’s always going to be a roster spot for an elite catch-and-shoot player even if they’re little and don’t bring much else to the table (and I think Richardson brings more to the table).
