With VJ, Maxey, McCain... do they even resign Grimes? All midget backcourt! Ask CLE how that works!

Also none of them are PG's.


Edgecombe is not short for a SG...


He's 6''4". That ain't tall for a 2.


He's 6'4" barefoot. That's not short for a 2.

8’5.5” and with elite athleticism, plays bigger than his size.

Neither Barnes or CMB can really shoot, interesting.

So Toronto just drafted the poor man's version of the dude they already have?

That Nurse offensive system is great for CMB, just as how much scoring opportunities it opened up for Oubre. The difference is, CMB has better touch in the paint.

Will be shocked if it's not Maluach or Queen to Phoenix

Genuinely no idea what I’d do here if I’m Phoenix. Maluach would at least give Booker a lob threat to keep him happy.

Demin really f’ed up the top ten. Bunch of guys dropping outside of top 10 that I wouldn’t expect.

Yup. Point forwards that can't shoot.

Read on Twitter


The Suns are drafting Maluach and trading for Williams? Umm...ok.
