Anyone else not sold on VJ’s fit with Philly? They got Maxey, PG, and McCain. I wasn’t blown away by VJ at Baylor, good not great. He’s no D-Wade as I’ve seen comped.

I don't think Ace gets past Washington if nobody trades up for him.

I wonder if Charlotte is thinking about trading out of this pick?

Sounds like we are still looking to move Ball / White
Working on becoming Titletown:
Bears - 9
Bulls - 6
Blackhawks - 6
Cubs - 3
White Sox - nobody cares :D

I can see Zo for a late 1st.

Can’t see a Coby trade tho

Yeah, I agree. I really like VJ, but he's going to have to be patient for a while. Maybe the youth movement will end up happening sooner than later there, but I definitely don't love the fit.

None of these interviews will match Patrick's flower shop story.

I do think they need an athletic defensive guard to pair next to Maxey and McCain. They needed a good wing player, but unfortunately, the only one in the draft is Flagg.

Not saying you're wrong but I don't see the upside of trading Zo for that kind of return. He's valuable to the development of the talent we already have. Maybe more so than the player we could select with that pick.

I don't remember Cowley citing sources very often like this.

FYI, ABC is also broadcasting the draft. Stephen A and Bob Myers with Kevin Nagandhi.

I love Lonzo but after the whole one thing you have to always view him as one play away from never playing again more than others players…so if you can get a first for him now I’d take it and run
