His turnover percentage is crazy though. Our team chomping at the bit to pressure him.

Lol do the Heat really have their security guy there in their their draft room AND in view of the camera?

****, Kasparas to Miami at 20 is a steal. Fell into their laps.

Who cares? Offense is beyond inept and you worry about defense.

Watch the NBA finals, and tell me if this guy could have played in that game (once hes fuily reached his potential). If the answer is no, which it is given he would be repeatedly exposed on D, then why take him? We are in the business of winning a championship, not winning games in November. You are only as strong as your weakest link on D, and this guy is a turnstile on D.

If you are expecting a #25 pick to fix our scoring woes, you probably need to adjust your expectations a bit.

We aren't winning crap with the worst 3 point percentage in the league. We aren't in the basketball Stone Age anymore.

123 turnovers for JK. Have fun getting hounded by Suggs and Black.

He reminded me of Podz when I watched his highlights.

So he picks his dribble up early?
Sounds like Magic guards i know...

I don’t think we go wing, so imo we’re guaranteed one of Wolf/Kalkbrenner/Fleming/Raynaud/Richardson

I don't really want Clifford for some reason. I think he's the same age as Franz.

And we will address that with Bane, free agency and other pieces. #25 pick will probably play in the g league this year.

Age does not matter for the 25th pick.

Jaku just lacks athleticism to create a ton of space, could end up as a combo not a true PG. Good PnR player with concerning turnovers. I didn't have him ranked significantly higher than the rest of these middle of the draft guys. I do think I would have taken him at 25 FWIW, but I don't personally see it as a crazy fall.

Will Riley goes 21.
