I think it is a 25 win team if everyone is healthy, tbh

Read on Twitter

I like the Ace pick but hate the Clayton pick. But I guess he had a promise at 20 from Miami, so he must have had great workouts. FWIW I have Kasparas 9th on my board and Clayton 29th.

I had Kas at 10 and I didn't go beyond 30. There's been a top-5 bust in every draft for at least the past 15 years. I’ve been convinced for months that it's Ace.

I think Atlanta's front office is laughing their asses off

questionable fit with Herro but great value

I'd like Asa Newell here, I think.

Atlanta keeps winning. I'm a Powell fan.

Had him at 15. He'll be good value for whoever gets him.

Babyjax is sleeping on Zion. Healthy Zion is like a Top 15-20 player, but healthy Zion isn't exactly an expectation.

I loved the Fears pick. One of the best handles we have seen, quite possibly the best handle in terms of usefulness and decisiveness we have seen since Kyrie. The rest of Fears game needs time to develop and mature, probably 2-3 years.

Poole, Zion, Trey, Herb, Missi, Alvarado and Bey (maybe Bey) gives them 6-7 players I would trust to be well above replacement level in 2025-2026. They need to add 1-2 more guys.

I like it, but it's banking on Zion, which isn't something you want to bank on, and trading their 1st means they can't pivot mid-season.

I defended the Poole trade. I loved the Fears pick. But come the **** on Dumars!

I love the Drake Powell pick.

Dumars finally does something right... after Newell falls into his lap.

Oh, that's just absolutely [expletive redacted] hilarious then. Outside the obvious (Mavs, Flagg), the Hawks are the clear winners of the day.

Would be first time ever. And they absolutely have the roster spots.

Kings got their first. Presti pushed an asset back.
