Interesting pick!! Did not see that coming.

CMB was by far the best defensive player available, so if he can develop a shot he'll be a monster.

Wonder how Mogbo is feeling
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

At this point it looks like Scottie Barnes is going to be our future starting center

He seems a bit surprised and probably not that happy expecting to play behind Scottie. I do think he’s small ball 5 though for the time being that’s gonna be able to handle and attack and set proper screens.

He’s playing behind two others who are basically the same player as him (Scottie and Mogbo).

Someone is gonna get traded…

But that's his downside.

No thats his backside.

Lowry's upside is mental and psychological.

Love it. So glad we didn’t pick Queen or Khaman.

Too many red flags. Production over “theoretical upside”. CMB the model citizen of production.

Now let’s get another pick and grab Carter, Yange, or Asa!

This a bad pick, not player…pick.

The fit just doesn’t make sense. We better have a trade back in for another player.
