Ace Bailey wearing that jazz hat sideways trying not to get teary eyed will become a meme

This guy will be a role player. We could have traded back got assets and still drafted him. He's not the 4th best player in this draft with all due respect.


To be fair can we at least wait 5 years before we already do stuff like this lol

We've been waiting 5 years for 20 years now

Just keep on waiting

We'll be good, in 5 years, just wait. You just wait!

Nights not over yet. The beer is flowing good. Let’s make a trade and get back in this thing. This is fun.

It's easy to be a winning player when you play with the best talent surrounding you.

We don’t know this at all. He easily could have gone 5 as Utah was reportedly high on him

So gross - we drafted a less athletic Corey Kispert because off-season stupids read smart.

Welp Brooklyn is a team having a worst night than us so far. Should have given us the **** farm for Ace you bums!
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

Yeah I would have preferred Tre but I'm not mad with Kon. My biggest disappointment will be if we just make one pick and are done for the night, was hoping for some trade fireworks.

We got possibly the best shooter and passer in the draft and you guys are going insane because his arms are two inches too short

They need to draft someone with more lateral mobility than Kon with their next pick, like perhaps Hansen Yang.

Hes not even close the best passer in this draft. This is a hallucination. He wasn't even the best passer on his team. People are imagining a lot of things with this dude.
