That's my thinking too. Jett just wasn't cutting it. I like his potential more than what Cole could do also.

Maybe size wise, that's where the similarity ends

No one would have wanted to trade Cole if he was a 41% 3PT shooter though...


We could have drafted prime Jordan and VFX would be **** on the pick.

Cannot believe they passed on Fleming… Jase is a ball in hand player… Fleming is a versatile defender who can guard 1-5 and can shoot… Our FO is so bad…

He and Black are playing together.

C'mon Weltman. 46, 57, and cash considerations to get back into the first.

Except Jase was efficient in college. Cole has never been efficient.

Bilas had Jase as one of the best guys on the board from the late lottery on...solid talent. Great fit...he's the Sexton we don't need to pay for.

Solid pick. This team needs offense, and with the 25th pick you have to gamble a little.
