This is quite shocking. Projected second rounder. He looked okay at the combine scrimmage. Some people think he's way too slow. They will play him and Clingan?


Unless Ayton is on the move (this summer), this guy isn't playing over Clingan or Duop Reath. I don't include Rob Williams because he's always hurt.

I have to agree it really really feels like it’s related to the potential sale. Because…

I don't know a lot about him, but he's a center.


Sorber's 6'9" maybe 6'8" in pros. He's a 4. Watching his tape now he's a bit too heavy and slow to be a 3.

Walter Clayton Jr or Nolan Traore for Minnesota.

Edit: And they select a French center. Never mind. I won't doubt Connelly on the draft though. Dude's good at it.

Where is Ayton going? Portland has plenty of young bigs.

Sorry, NO.
Unprotected pick....Joe Dumars needs to use protection.


And for ****’s sake, give them one or the other. Now we have to hope neither we or Milwaukee implode. Double chance to get a #1

Eh, we also always say teams should take their BPA no mater what. Especially non contenders out in the wilderness like POR.

ESPN had dudes like Zach Lowe and decided "nah the people need Perk on every broadcast". God this product **** sucks.

To a Call of Duty e-sports team, maybe? At least that's something he seems to enjoy.
