Bill Simmons was pissed we drafted him. Celtics were hoping he'd fall to them.

Our summer league team is going b2b. KP and Pelle backcourt are going to be such a problem

He is not Goran


I know. I saw people comparing them. I'm just saying, at 20, most players don't pan out, so if you get somebody who is good, then it's a great pick.

Nique to the team that has proven they know how to draft. Not a bad team to fall to
1. Herro 2. Bol Bol 3. Seko 4. Bruno
unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington

I do have my concerns specifically his speed. But he has tools that's worth development

It’s a good pick regardless.. especially if heat are considering trading it, as your essentially trading a more so #10 draft pick, instead of a #20 pick

Right. The draft is a crapshoot, so if the guy has the potential to be something this late, then it's a good move even if it doesn't pan out.
