I heard 6'7" Center and just thought of DeJuan Blair


Blair with 2 ACLs is a good player

I was gonna ask if he has both ACLs. Blair could have been really solid.

I was thinking that too but I didn't say it because I already said that about Egor. If reports are correct, there was someone in that range Presi was interested in.

Oh trust me. I'm pissed that we dropped this low. Like division rival Sixers got the 3rd overall pick with a boatload of all-stars and we got 9th? Failure in tanking.

:nonono:

CMB has loads of feel and IQ on both ends, plus all the tools.

Can he get on balance and repeat the same smooth jump shot is the question. Does he care enough to learn do that.

I'm sick of him. I have no opinion of the draft but we have literally ingram, Scottie, and RJ/Gradey.

Like I'm tripping if this isn't a trade. I'm sick of this 6'9 stuff.

Masai's love affair of 6'9" dudes is crazy. He dgaf about skillset just measurables. He has to understand fit right? Like this is the dude who put together the 2019 Raptors team


Masai is a decent - mediocre GM who got lucky Kawhi Leonard fell in his lap because Pop did everything he could to avoid shipping him to LA.

I'm sure he's just pissed he'll be away from his gf, tbh. Maybe also doesn't love the fit.

Sorber will be the SAS pick IMO if he is there at 14. Fills a need for a big, passing fits SAS style, plays tough and smart.

What a great story for Maluach.
