Wolf is a big that plays like a wing if that counts

I know the Michigan thing, but Danny Wolf is legitimately good.

I also think that his archetype will not get paid as much as people think moving forward. This summer has been eye-opening for many when it comes to the financial pressures of the CBA.

Just realized that whoever we draft won’t get a shoutout and warm welcome from Cole Anthony. Bittersweet.

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

What's Miami gotta worry about? Suggs and Black will just end up botching the transition bucket.

This 25th pick is going to be really fascinating. There's so many directions they could reasonably go.
