Traore was my early hype train favourite over a year ago.

Then **** Harper landed in our lap.

THANK YOU, BASKETBALL GODS!


It's only because Nolan played against pros. Him falling this far is a mistake. He should have been a top-10 pick.

This is what makes the Yang pick puzzling. Level of competition MUST be considered.


I also think you can trade into like pick 22-25 or so and still take Yang safely

A+ draft for Brooklyn. Nolan is going to make an all-star team one day.

Great value pick for the Nets with Traore.

p.s. Silver needs some pronunciation practice with the international names.

Absolutely mumbled through Beringer and to a lesser extent Traore.

Why did they just spend 10 minutes on WCJ? Why do they drag this out for so long? Lol

He's 262? Yeah that's why he was kinda slow on the tape. I'm still going to reserve my judgement on how he's going to match up against the true bigs in the league. Though you don't need him to since you have Hartenstein. He'll be backup, and see how he develops. He's not athletic. He can't jump.

OKC still needs athletic SFs IMO.


Lots of us did not eant him because physical profile that just describes WCJ


Jalen Williams, Caruso and Dort aren't good enough to cover the SF position?

Maybe they draft a SF at #24?

LOL Nets are going to have to cut some guys to put everyone on their roster. Or leave some guys in Europe.

So my guys go to:

1. MEM Coward
2. MIN Beringer
3. TOR Murray-Boyles
4. BKN Traore
5. NOP Queen
6. UTA Clayton Jr.

I guess I'll check the SL sched for these if I decide to go!
